Should you make French Toast in an oven or on a frying pan? What’s the difference between sous vide and regular cooking? And why would you use high pressure cooking over regular cooking? What is the difference between the three production methods for artificial vanillin?
You’ll find all these comparisons and more in this comparison category. It should help you decide which process to use in which instance and how different processes differ from one another.
It’s a crucial part of understanding your food. If you really understand the differences, you can easily determine which is the best going forward!
This group of posts is part of the category ‘Making Food‘ in which we discuss how you transform those valuable ingredients into your final dishes/products.
While writing our ‘ultimate’ guide to develop your* perfect French Fry we came across a few tips and tricks that we couldn’t do justice in the article. They required more extensive experimentation and evaluation. As such, we decided to dedicate…

Walking into a kitchen or production location where nuts are being roasted tends to be a delight. The air is full of nutty, caramelly aroma’s. Taking it one step further and burning those nuts deftly removes all that pleasantness and…
Cooking a pie in the oven is always a delicate balancing act. You don’t want the pie to dry out and become tough. But under cooking is probably worse, with raw liquid filling being left in the pie. Imagine how…
How cold does your freezer need to be for freezing that piece of fish in less than 2 minutes? How fast does your cooling water need to flow to keep a pipe full of soup at temperature? If you’re designing…
If you’ve been with us for a while, you might have noticed by now that one of our passions is bread and bread making. It is something we can do every week (or day) since bread is definitely one of…
An essential part of any holiday (in a warm place that is) is ice cream. It’s fun to find a nice ice cream shop and take plenty of time to choose your flavour (even though you’ll always choose the same…
In order to make a traditional Dutch kroket or bitterbal or a batch of French fries you used to have to take out your deep fryer from somewhere. Get plenty of oil and be ready to make those perfectly crispy…
As you might know by now (example 1, 2 and 3), pancakes are a great way to illustrate culture and science of food. So when a fellow Dutch blogger recently wrote about ‘Dutch baby’ pancakes, it was time to try those…
