What Einstein Told His Cook: Kitchen Science Explained

Product Description

"Like having a scientist at your side to answer your questions in plain, non-technical language."—Science News

Why is red meat red? How do they decaffeinate coffee? Do you wish you understood the science of food but don't want to plow through dry, technical books? In What Einstein Told His Cook, University of Pittsburgh chemistry professor emeritus and award-winning Washington Post food columnist Robert L. Wolke provides reliable and witty explanations for your most burning food questions, while debunking misconceptions and helping you interpret confusing advertising and labeling. A finalist for both the James Beard Foundation and IACP Awards for best food reference, What Einstein Told His Cook engages cooks and chemists alike.

Why do recipes call for unsalted butter--and salt? What is a microwave, actually? Are smoked foods raw or cooked? Robert L. Wolke's enlightening and entertaining What Einstein Told His Cook offers answers to these and 127 other questions about everyday kitchen phenomena. Using humor (dubious puns included), Wolke, a bona fide chemistry professor and syndicated Washington Post columnist, has found a way to make his explanations clear and accessible to all: in short, fun. For example, to a query about why cookbooks advise against inserting meat thermometers so that they touch a bone, Wolke says, "I hate warnings without explanations, don't you? Whenever I see an 'open other end' warning on a box, I open the wrong end just to see what will happen. I'm still alive." But he always finally gets down to brass tacks: as most heat transfer in meat is due to its water content, areas around bone remain relatively cool and thus unreliable for gauging overall meat temperature.

Organized into basic categories like "Sweet Talk" (questions involving sugar), "Fire and Ice" (we learn why water boils and freezers burn, among other things), and "Tools and Technology" (the best kind of frying pan, for example), the book also provides illustrative recipes like Black Raspberry Coffee Cake (to demonstrate how metrics work in recipes) and Bob's Mahogany Game Hens (showing what brining can do). With technical illustrations, tips, and more, the book offers abundant evidence that learning the whys and hows of cooking can help us enjoy the culinary process almost as much as its results. --Arthur Boehm

Sealed housing is protected against dust, spills, and washing to a level of IP66
Powered by the built-in rechargeable battery or included AC adapter, for increased mobility
Stainless steel 210 x 173 mm (W x D) weighing pan is corrosion resistant
Two-second settling time for increased productivity

Product Description

The Adam Equipment WBW 18a washdown bench scale has a capacity of 8000 g and an accuracy of 1 g (also called readability), and offers a two-second settling time that allows for increased productivity. The sealed ABS plastic housing is rated to level IP66 against dust and strong jets of water and the stainless steel weighing pan resists corrosion and is easy to clean, for use in applications where washdowns are required, such as food processing plants and agricultural facilities. The scale has an automatic external calibration system and can be operated using AC power or the built-in rechargeable battery, offering full mobility in the field and when a power supply is hard to find, for up to 50 hours. The auto off function can be enabled to power off the scale automatically after periods of inactivity to conserve power.

The digital screen is backlit for easy readability, displays weight in five different units, and provides a capacity tracker for visual reference to prevent the scale from being overloaded. Using the keypad, the scale easily switches into check-weighing mode during which the red, amber, and green LED lights notify the user if the load is under, over, or within the pre-set weight limit. Check weighing limits can be password protected to prevent unauthorized or accidental alteration. Adjustable front and rear nonslip feet provide level measurements and stability, so the scale will not tip under eccentric loads. When used according to manufacturer’s recommendations, this product is covered by a two-year warranty.

Scales or balances are measuring instruments used to determine the mass of an object. Mechanical balances are the simplest type of balance, and use a lever and slide to indicate the measurement. Conventional balances are commonly used in offices, the jewelry industry, and in kitchens, and display results digitally, but are less precise than analytical balances. Analytical balances measure to a high degree of precision and accuracy (0.0001 g or better), and display results digitally. These balances have a cover with doors to prevent dust and airflow from affecting the measurement. Moisture balances analyze moisture content in a material sample, using infrared or halogen heat sources to dry the sample and then calculate the moisture content from the before- and after-drying weight, and display results digitally, on the balance, or transfer the information for display on a computer.

Adam Equipment manufactures balances, scales, and related accessories for laboratory, educational, industrial, retail, and medical applications. The company, which was founded in the United Kingdom in 1972 and has an office in Danbury, CT, meets International Organization for Standardization (ISO) 9001:2008 standards.

Eating Mindfully: How to End Mindless Eating & Enjoy a Balanced Relationship with Food
List Price: ~~$19.99~~ Price: $17.01 You Save: $2.98(15%)
Product Description How common and effortless it is to eat in an uncontrolled, unaware, mindless manner. If you've ever continued to snack when you were full, cut calories despite being hungry, or used guilt to guide your eating, you've experienced mindless eating firsthand. Let's face it. Deciding what to eat is not an easy task. It's so tricky that in the United States eating concerns and weight obsessions have reached epidemic proportions, with serious health consequences for a large part of the population. What turns an everyday activity like eating into such an overwhelming process? The answer to that question is, of course, a complex one. Throughout the book, we will return to that question with some answers. But the bottom line is this: To make smart, healthy eating choices, your body and mind work together to send you essential clues about what you need and want to eat. These clues give you information about ''how much'' and ''what'' to eat. The sensations and emotions that signal when you're full, famished, or just wanting to eat something rich and delicious are a complex combination of bodily and emotional feelings. If you are attentive and responsive to these cues, your eating will be healthy, in control, and well regulated. Dieting and disliking your body are incredibly detrimental to your emotional, mental, and physical well-being. They inhibit your ability to accurately decode your body's messages and feedback. The dieting mindset is akin to taking a knife and cutting the connection that is your body's only line of communication with your head. The dieting mindset can skew your knowledge of healthy eating so badly that you have no idea of what to eat. Mindless eating is then manifested in two ways. You can either ''obsess'' or ''ignore'' internal feedback from both your body and mind, rather than responding thoughtfully to your hunger and to your concern about your health. In this book, you will learn how mindlessness unknowingly corrupts the way you eat a meal, and how it manifests in a variety of eating problems. You will gain insight into why mindfulness, which is, of course, the opposite of mindlessness, can provide you with valuable skills to control the way you eat.
Little Sugar Addicts: End the Mood Swings, Meltdowns, Tantrums, and Low Self-Esteem in Your Child Today
List Price: ~~$14.00~~ Price: $5.96 You Save: $8.04(57%)
Product Description Sugar Is Not Love Do you have a smart, creative, loving child who is also cranky, inattentive, and sometimes downright obnoxious? If you’ve written off this negative behavior as “typical” for your child’s age—whether toddler or teen—stop and think: Does your child have a taste for soda, sugary breakfast cereals, and treats like candy and cookies? Does she eat regularly scheduled meals or skip them? What, exactly, does he drink and snack on throughout the day? Your child’s behavior may be linked to diet—specifically to the sugar in obvious sources like sweets and soda and to hidden sugars that lurk in many foods, fruit-based drinks, and “healthy” snacks like granola bars. And if your son or daughter is sugar sensitive, misbehavior and moodiness can be aggravated by missed or late meals and junk foods. Now, bestselling author Kathleen DesMaisons offers you a workable solution for getting back your child by changing his diet—without creating a sense of deprivation, without setting unrealistic goals, and without turning sugar into “forbidden fruit.” This book offers: • A step-by-step program, backed by years of research, for gradually improving the food your child eats—you and your whole family will benefit! • Tips for navigating the sugar-laden world of birthday parties, holidays, and school cafeterias • Ways to incorporate healthy snacking and regular mealtimes into your child’s day, including suggestions for meals and snacks, plus recipes Little Sugar Addicts isn’t about strange foods, dramatic lifestyle changes, or complicated menus—just support, guidance, and real-life suggestions from other parents that work. It will help you make the connection between the addictive qualities of sugar and negative behavior and offer a healthy solution you and your whole family can live with.

Plenty: Eating Locally on the 100-Mile Diet
List Price: ~~$15.00~~ Price: $6.52 You Save: $8.48(57%)
Product Description The remarkable, amusing and inspiring adventures of a Canadian couple who make a year-long attempt to eat foods grown and produced within a 100-mile radius of their apartment. When Alisa Smith and James MacKinnon learned that the average ingredient in a North American meal travels 1,500 miles from farm to plate, they decided to launch a simple experiment to reconnect with the people and places that produced what they ate. For one year, they would only consume food that came from within a 100-mile radius of their Vancouver apartment. The 100-Mile Diet was born. The couple’s discoveries sometimes shook their resolve. It would be a year without sugar, Cheerios, olive oil, rice, Pizza Pops, beer, and much, much more. Yet local eating has turned out to be a life lesson in pleasures that are always close at hand. They met the revolutionary farmers and modern-day hunter-gatherers who are changing the way we think about food. They got personal with issues ranging from global economics to biodiversity. They called on the wisdom of grandmothers, and immersed themselves in the seasons. They discovered a host of new flavours, from gooseberry wine to sunchokes to turnip sandwiches, foods that they never would have guessed were on their doorstep. The 100-Mile Diet struck a deeper chord than anyone could have predicted, attracting media and grassroots interest that spanned the globe. The 100-Mile Diet: A Year of Local Eating tells the full story, from the insights to the kitchen disasters, as the authors transform from megamart shoppers to self-sufficient urban pioneers. The 100-Mile Diet is a pathway home for anybody, anywhere. Call me naive, but I never knew that flour would be struck from our 100-Mile Diet. Wheat products are just so ubiquitous, “the staff of life,” that I had hazily imagined the stuff must be grown everywhere. But of course: I had never seen a field of wheat anywhere close to Vancouver, and my mental images of late-afternoon light falling on golden fields of grain were all from my childhood on the Canadian prairies. What I was able to find was Anita’s Organic Grain & Flour Mill, about 60 miles up the Fraser River valley. I called, and learned that Anita’s nearest grain suppliers were at least 800 miles away by road. She sounded sorry for me. Would it be a year until I tasted a pie? —From The 100-Mile Diet From the Hardcover edition.

The Lilliputians of Environmental Regulation: The Perspective of State Regulators (Routledge Research in Environmental Policy and Politics)
List Price: ~~$130.00~~ Price: $108.62 You Save: $21.38(16%)
Product Description When we think about environmental policy and regulation in the U.S., our attention invariably falls on the federal level and, more specifically, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. Although such a focus is understandable, it neglects the actors most responsible for the implementation and maintenance of the nation's environmental laws - the states. Recognition of the importance of the states still ignores an even smaller subsection of actors, inspectors. These front-line actors in state environmental agencies are the individuals responsible for writing environmental rules and ensuring compliance with those rules. They play an important role in the environmental regulatory state. With data collected from more than 1,200 inspectors across 17 states, Michelle C. Pautz and Sara R. Rinfret take a closer look at these neglected actors to better understand how environmental regulators perceive the regulated community and how they characterize their interactions with them. In doing so, they explore the role these front-line actors play, what it is like to be them, what they think of their place in the environmental regulatory system, and how they interact with the regulated community. An original, timely and unmatched volume advancing the debate on the future of environmental regulation in the U.S.

Institutional Dynamics: Emergent Patterns in International Environmental Governance (Earth System Governance: A Core Research Project of the ... on Global Environmental Change)
List Price: ~~$24.00~~ Price: $11.54 You Save: $12.46(52%)
Product Description International environmental regimes--institutional arrangements that govern human-environmental interactions--are dynamic, changing continuously over time. Some regimes go from strength to strength, becoming more effective over the years, while others seem stymied from the beginning. Some regimes start strong, then decline; others are ineffective at first but become successful with the passage of time. In Institutional Dynamics, Oran Young offers the first detailed analysis of these developmental trajectories. Understanding the emergent patterns in environmental governance and how they affect regime effectiveness, he argues, is an important part of solving environmental problems. Young proposes a framework for analyzing patterns of institutional change based on the alignment of internal, endogenous factors--which include flexibility, monitoring procedures, and funding mechanisms--with such external, exogenous factors as the attributes of environmental problems, the political and economic contexts, and technological innovations. He offers five case studies of environmental regimes, governing environmental problems ranging from climate change to the protection of the Northern Fur Seal, each of which exemplifies one of the emergent patterns he has identified: progressive development, punctuated equilibrium, arrested development, diversion, and collapse.

1-Day Diet - The Fastest "Diet" in the World!
List Price: $29.95
Product Description Newly Updated & Expanded for 2013 - 15 FREE Bonus Reports Included! If you've dreamed of a way to safely and quickly lose weight still eat foods you love, this book by bestselling weight loss author Jennifer Jolan could be exactly what you're looking for. The 1-Day Diet is changing the diet and weight loss world. Based on hard science and works without constantly dieting for days, weeks, and months at a time.. without planning special meals...without counting calories... and without needing to exercise. The idea behind this diet was first discovered by professional athletes (who wanted to lose body fat without starving or feeling tired) and then perfected for women by a world-class fitness expert. In fact, it's not unusual to lose 2-5 pounds the first day and up to 30 pounds the first month (the more overweight you are, the faster it works) without fat returning. The Best Part? The diet only takes 1-3 days per week. The rest of the week you can eat all your favorite foods (even "bad" foods) as long as you follow a few simple guidelines. Some of the secrets in this fascinating book include: The secret science behind why it's almost impossible to fail here. (Even if everything else hasn't worked.) How to use the diet 1 day a week to KEEP fat off forever. (No yo-yo effect or worrying about fat creeping back on.) A simple 5-minute exercise that can double your weight loss speed on the 1-Day Diet. (Exercise is NOT required-but you can lose weight TWICE as fast by doing this simple exercise that takes only 5 minutes per day.) How to use the 1-Day Diet Plan to cut your food bill almost in half. How to prevent fat gain even while pigging out on holidays and weekends. (No more sheepishly sipping water and picking at vegetables while everyone else pigs out during holidays and parties.) How the 1-Day Diet naturally eliminates cravings or always thinking about food. *A secret spice that lowers blood sugar levels, makes you more insulin sensitive (that's really* good thing), and helps you lose weight. (Keeps your digestive system working more smoothly too.) Why the more overweight you are, the more you lose on this. (Up to 5 pounds daily... SAFELY without starving.) A simple "game plan" to follow if you're in a hurry to lose weight. (If you want to lose weight fast, in 2 weeks you can lose 10 or more pounds.) The 1-hour "window" to eat as bad as you want without gaining fat. (If you really want to indulge, eat your bad meals at this exact time to carbs turn into energy instead of fat.) Why The 1-Day Diet is NECESSARY for pre-diabetic people... or who have full blown diabetes. (Millions of women are pre-diabetic and don't know it. As this diet becomes more popular, doctors may start telling diabetic patients to use it.) Why no foods are strictly forbidden on The 1-Day Diet. And more... The benefits seem endless and 100% simple and convenient! 5 FREE BONUS REPORTS INCLUDED IN THE KINDLE FILE:** Natural Detox - 8 Cheap Ways to Detox & Cleanse Your Body (Sells for $2.99 on Amazon (go look), but free here) The 1-Minute Weight Loss Cheat Sheet ($2.99 on Amazon) 15-Second Diet Tricks: Turn Bad Meals Into "Weight Loss" Meals Instantly 5-Minute No-Bake Diet Weight Loss Cookies 15-Healthy Snacks for Weight Loss 10 More FREE Bonus Reports linked on the Last Page: How to Lose Weight Spinning in a Circle like Kids The 20-Second Bathroom Trick for a Super-Charged Metabolism and a Flood of Energy One Tablespoon of this $6 Supplement Detoxes 900 Yards of Toxins from Your Body Do-It-Yourself Face-Lift: How to Look 5 Years Younger in 2 Weeks - Got 5 Minutes a Day?

List Price: ~~$269.00~~ Price: $243.01 You Save: $25.99(10%)
Product Description In the 100 years since the legume-Rhizobium symbiotic nitrogen fixation interaction was first described, interest in this field has grown rapidly. The types of studies have been cyclical in nature, involving a cross-section of disciplines. The availability of cheap nitrogenous fertilizers caused much of the biological nitrogen fixation research to become more theoretical in the developed world. The high cost of energy, coupled with environmental concerns and the interest in sustainable agriculture, has stimulated research in symbiotic nitrogen fixation. The development of modern genetic techniques has resulted in interdisciplinary research on plant-microbe interactions controlling nitrogen fixation. This has resulted in a better understanding of environmental factors influencing the nodulation process, chemical signalling between the symbiotic partners and the nature of the specificity between host plant and microsymbiotant. This volume summarizes the diverse research efforts in biological nitrogen fixation by presenting a collection of papers in the areas of physiology and metabolism, taxonomy and evolution, genetics and ecology.
