French Fries Cooked in Heightened Gravity

[Marc]

Can you cook fries in space?

Scary, I really never thought about how 'gravity' affects cooking. It makes sense since gravity is such an important part of the physics of our lives.

The article however plainly discusses the fix-technology: build self-contained cooking gear that uses centrifugal means to create pseudo-gravity. Presto, an engineering cooking environment, and edibles as the food technologists want them to come out.

This really is no big deal. All terrestrial industrial-scale cooking takes place in engineering cooking environments now. Turn the same engineers loose on the space environment, with customer demand to be satisfied, and the space cooks and restauranteers soon will have equipment to buy.
