On death roe: Swetha Sivakumar on the cruelty of caviar

Hindustan Times

In order to harvest fish eggs, one must gut the fish and scoop them out. Many of these fish live painful lives in captivity, being scanned, injected and operated on for their roe. The roe, in fact, was difficult to handle, the eggs breaking easily, and so it was salted and pressed into “cakes” called payusnaya in Russian. As demand …

Flex to impress: Swetha Sivakumar has the scoop on silicone

Hindustan Times

To understand silicone, it helps to think of this material as a group of teenagers forced to attend a family gathering. The strong yet flexible chain is also what makes silicone spatulas and moulds so bendy, allowing them to seamlessly shape and then release everything from cupcakes and chocolate to ice cubes. Silicone is a man-made material in which silicon …

Too hot? Too cold? Or just right: Swetha Sivakumar takes on serving temperatures

Hindustan Times

When dal boils, its temperature is close to 100 degrees Celsius. Most hot meals, in fact, tend to be served at temperatures of about 60 degrees Celsius. As hot food causes temperatures to rise in parts of the body, perspiration kicks in to cool us down. There is a second reason we evolved to prefer hot meals: heat is an …

Rinse of the machines: Swetha Sivakumar on dishwashers

Hindustan Times

As someone who only grudgingly bought a dishwasher, largely ignored it for years, and then fell in love with it in 2015, I’d like to talk about this kitchen appliance this week: how it works, who invented it, and how it manages to save so much water. A study conducted in the UK in 2007 showed that, on average, people …

The drool factor: Swetha Sivakumar on what makes food mouth-watering

Hindustan Times

When a tragic heroine in a novel says the food “turned to ashes in her mouth”, I always wish I could tell her: “That’s the salivary glands. You have a problem with the salivary glands, dear.” They are a highly underrated element in the eating experience, and because it is so rarely noticed, saliva is barely understood. The moistness of …

The green mile: Swetha Sivakumar, on how to make vegetables more fun

Hindustan Times

Eat your veggies, we say, almost like it is punishment. With heat and time, the salt permeates to beneath the skin of the vegetable, transforming its flavour, helping other flavours soak in, and making some cooked vegetables juicier too. Another enzyme, called polyphenol oxidase, is responsible for turning vegetables such as potato, bottle gourd and eggplant brown from oxidation. This …

Loss and grain: Swetha Sivakumar on how starches embrace and resist change

Hindustan Times

Forget the stiff upper lip. Sustained heat and moisture cause grains to expand to such a degree that they become like tiny starch bombs. Grind grain into a flour, add liquid and heat, and the pasting occurs almost instantly. The long starch strands act like a spider’s web, bonding with water all through, turning any solution into a gluggier mix. …

When I was in my 20s, living away from home, my mother made all my sambar powder for me, in large batches. “Roast them on low heat, stirring continuously,” she said, tersely. Controlled heat causes chemicals in the spices to combine and morph to form new volatile compounds, giving the mix the aromas and flavours we seek. Apply heat to …

The warmth of cinnamon, earthiness of nutmeg, and fresh scent of pine all add to the holiday spirit, at this time of year.

Why do we cook; why have we for so many thousands of years? But a key reason we cook — the most interesting one to me — is in order to vanquish the defence mechanisms that protect plants. The reason the grain accumulates so much starch in the first place, and fights so hard to protect it, is to use …

Colour is a vital data set, when it comes to food. Candy manufacturers, recognising the allure of a range of bright colours, make sure each gummy handful contains a mix of shades.
