Cooking From the Future!

Making a Sodium Alginate Base:
make a sodium alginate base: 20 grams per liter of water, agitate for seven minutes and allow to sit overnight….........this will be your base for everything…..I make 4 liters at once…..we use alot daily…

you will need sodium alginate for this….i just googled it and purchased some from a lab company…............

when you are ready to make caviar just use 100 grams of alginate base to 150 grams of whatever liquid you would like to use and lightly stir together (you don’t want any air )....have fun…........we are having a blast with it…....hot-frozen cocktail spheres, large spheres with smoked keeda roe inside them, large spheres with small spheres inside them, liquid center noodles, large spheres with fruit caviar suspended inside them, deconstructed dishes using this technique….....liquid nitrogen+alginate/chloride=toomuchfun
