[@ARTSIEBECCA]

🤔

[@toastrecon]

@@ARTSIEBECCA basically, it’s a joke that engineers oversimplify real world things so that they fit their equations nicely. In reality, you’d have to use something like Nusselt’s number to find out how the convection was transferring heat into the ice cream ball. It gets complicated because there’s a boundary layer of steam that actually insulates the ice cream ball because the steam is at 212F and the oil is at 350F. One of the reason some places will pressure cook their fried chicken - to keep that water from boiling at the high temp while it cooks, so the juices stay in the meat. So, yeah, even Nusselt number analysis is only +/- 40% accurate in some situations. The number that Emmy is working with is related to the Biot number for a sphere - a dimensionless parameter that helps us make good estimates. You could find the Biot number for a cylinder and use it to estimate the heat transfer into a corn dog. Lol.

I worked at Chi-Chi’s (a now defunct, inauthentic Mexican Chain restaurant mostly the U.S. Midwest, and yes, I know the name was unfortunate) for ten years. As you can see from previous comments, our fried ice cream was wildly popular. We didn’t use any eggs in the coating, mostly just crushed cornflakes and cinnamon from what I remember. (All our US stores closed in 2014, so it’s been awhile.) We rolled them a day in advance, froze them in a freezer set colder than what you’d have at home, and fried them for only two or three seconds. So that’s how we did it there.

I was really lucky in Grade 9. I had a Science Teacher who used food preparation to demonstrate/explain a lot of the science we were learning. It made learing the theories/equations so much easier and fun. He was for sure a very special kind of teacher, dedicated and innovative and we were so lucky. We won the provincial title for Grade 9 science students that year and I credit him entirely. Nothing better than a teacher who is passionate about what they do. Emmy, in this video, reminded me of him....side-hustle for Emmy, consider being a teacher :D you'd be amazing at it.

I remember having this as a kid at my favourite Mexican restaurant

Something tells me Emmy was a teacher in a former life....

[@StacyEW]

She was, for a few years at least...she taught while living in Japan :)

This makes me think of this wonderful part of Colorado culture. There is a restaurant here that is called Casa Bonita. It is more like a restaurant experience. Kind of like Rainforest Cafe but bigger. There is a giant water fall in the middle of the seating area where people cave dive down and put on a show. There is an arcade room, gift shop and a cave maze. There is a path to walk behind the waterfall. It is a little bit rundown now but it was the top Birthday area for decades. It is even mentioned in a South Park episode. Honestly the food wasn't the best, but the best part was the fried ice cream.

I have a lactose intolerant friend who sells ice cream for a living. He can’t take it, but he can dish it out.

Hi Emmy! Always makes me happy to see your videos! Love fried ice cream. Hope you and your family are safe, happy, and healthy!! 💛

Fried icecream tastes really good :)

Really enjoyed seeing her try this for the first time. I'm from the middle of Kansas where fried ice cream is a staple of every hispanic restaurant

I'm a chem prof. I always use food to explain things to my students. I also use sound effects. Things don't work without sound effects, right? haha. Everyone loves food. I love your channel!
