hey guys I’m Nate welcome back to the

hey guys I’m Nate welcome back to the workshop we love having comment requests

workshop we love having comment requests

workshop we love having comment requests from you guys for ideas of what we

from you guys for ideas of what we

from you guys for ideas of what we should do and we have a request here

should do and we have a request here

should do and we have a request here from Matthew de Roset Matthew asks what

from Matthew de Roset Matthew asks what

from Matthew de Roset Matthew asks what happens if you put whipped cream or

happens if you put whipped cream or

happens if you put whipped cream or beaten egg whites in a vacuum chamber

beaten egg whites in a vacuum chamber

beaten egg whites in a vacuum chamber would they turn back into regular cream

would they turn back into regular cream

would they turn back into regular cream and egg whites respectively well Matthew

and egg whites respectively well Matthew

and egg whites respectively well Matthew we think that’s an excellent question so

we think that’s an excellent question so

we think that’s an excellent question so today we’re going to try out both of

today we’re going to try out both of

today we’re going to try out both of those things we’ll take some heavy cream

those things we’ll take some heavy cream

those things we’ll take some heavy cream and turn that into whipped cream then

and turn that into whipped cream then

and turn that into whipped cream then we’ll take some egg whites and beat that

we’ll take some egg whites and beat that

we’ll take some egg whites and beat that until we have a meringue then we’ll see

until we have a meringue then we’ll see

until we have a meringue then we’ll see what happens if we pull as much air out

what happens if we pull as much air out

what happens if we pull as much air out as we can and see if they return to

as we can and see if they return to

as we can and see if they return to their regular unwept state let’s start

their regular unwept state let’s start

their regular unwept state let’s start by whipping up some cream most of the

by whipping up some cream most of the

by whipping up some cream most of the time when you’re making whipped cream

time when you’re making whipped cream

time when you’re making whipped cream you do add sugar to it to make it taste

you do add sugar to it to make it taste

you do add sugar to it to make it taste a little sweeter but because we want to

a little sweeter but because we want to

a little sweeter but because we want to see if our whipping cream returns to

see if our whipping cream returns to

see if our whipping cream returns to normal after being whipped inflated and

normal after being whipped inflated and

normal after being whipped inflated and deflated in a vacuum chamber I’m not

deflated in a vacuum chamber I’m not

deflated in a vacuum chamber I’m not going to add any sugar to this one so we

going to add any sugar to this one so we

going to add any sugar to this one so we can see how close it is to the regular

can see how close it is to the regular

can see how close it is to the regular unchanged whipping cream

there we have it we have our whipped

there we have it we have our whipped cream and a bowl and it has been filled

cream and a bowl and it has been filled

cream and a bowl and it has been filled with air to the point that it is no

with air to the point that it is no

with air to the point that it is no longer even a liquid now let’s take some

longer even a liquid now let’s take some

longer even a liquid now let’s take some of this scoop it off into our vacuum

of this scoop it off into our vacuum

of this scoop it off into our vacuum chamber and see what happens when we

chamber and see what happens when we

chamber and see what happens when we depressurize whipped cream I’m not

depressurize whipped cream I’m not

depressurize whipped cream I’m not really sure how much of this to put in I

really sure how much of this to put in I

really sure how much of this to put in I don’t know how much it will expand and I

don’t know how much it will expand and I

don’t know how much it will expand and I don’t want to go so high that I have to

don’t want to go so high that I have to

don’t want to go so high that I have to turn off the vacuum pump let’s try

turn off the vacuum pump let’s try

turn off the vacuum pump let’s try starting with just a nice little glob

starting with just a nice little glob

starting with just a nice little glob not the whole bowl full and see what

not the whole bowl full and see what

not the whole bowl full and see what happens when we depressurize it it’s

happens when we depressurize it it’s

happens when we depressurize it it’s alive

alive

alive that’s certainly growing quite a bit oh

boy

boy it still might be too much that was

it still might be too much that was

it still might be too much that was enough to fill the whole chamber all the

enough to fill the whole chamber all the

enough to fill the whole chamber all the way several times

[Applause]

[Applause] Wow I thought the cake batter expanded a

Wow I thought the cake batter expanded a

Wow I thought the cake batter expanded a lot it’s got nothing on this

that’s gonna work so cool and we had

that’s gonna work so cool and we had food coloring thinking just started to

food coloring thinking just started to

food coloring thinking just started to break before I opened the valve a little

break before I opened the valve a little

break before I opened the valve a little that last time there we go well that

that last time there we go well that

that last time there we go well that looks kind of disgusting in there right

looks kind of disgusting in there right

looks kind of disgusting in there right now

now

now doesn’t look like whipped cream and it

doesn’t look like whipped cream and it

doesn’t look like whipped cream and it doesn’t look like unwitting it’s just

doesn’t look like unwitting it’s just

doesn’t look like unwitting it’s just sort of this massive it looks kind of

sort of this massive it looks kind of

sort of this massive it looks kind of like plastic sheets got melted onto the

like plastic sheets got melted onto the

like plastic sheets got melted onto the walls turn it off

walls turn it off

walls turn it off open this up and let some pressure back

open this up and let some pressure back

open this up and let some pressure back in

there we go repressurized first

there we go repressurized first impressions I’m gonna say that has not

impressions I’m gonna say that has not

impressions I’m gonna say that has not turned back into regular whipping cream

turned back into regular whipping cream

turned back into regular whipping cream I don’t know what that is

I don’t know what that is

I don’t know what that is but it’s not regular whipping cream all

but it’s not regular whipping cream all

but it’s not regular whipping cream all right so when I have a larger amount of

right so when I have a larger amount of

right so when I have a larger amount of it together on the spatula it is a

it together on the spatula it is a

it together on the spatula it is a little more liquid definitely more

little more liquid definitely more

little more liquid definitely more liquid than whipped cream tastes about

liquid than whipped cream tastes about

liquid than whipped cream tastes about the same unsurprisingly I feel like some

the same unsurprisingly I feel like some

the same unsurprisingly I feel like some of the milk fat may have started to

of the milk fat may have started to

of the milk fat may have started to change form not so much that it started

change form not so much that it started

change form not so much that it started turning into butter but something is

turning into butter but something is

turning into butter but something is different about it see what happens if I

different about it see what happens if I

different about it see what happens if I just scrape all of it as much as I can

just scrape all of it as much as I can

just scrape all of it as much as I can into sort of one spot give it an

into sort of one spot give it an

into sort of one spot give it an opportunity to cool a little bit all

opportunity to cool a little bit all

opportunity to cool a little bit all right we do have a liquid here it looks

right we do have a liquid here it looks

right we do have a liquid here it looks like it’s still maybe a little thicker

like it’s still maybe a little thicker

like it’s still maybe a little thicker than just the normal cream I’m wondering

than just the normal cream I’m wondering

than just the normal cream I’m wondering if there’s still some air in it and now

if there’s still some air in it and now

if there’s still some air in it and now that we’ve gathered it all in one spot

that we’ve gathered it all in one spot

that we’ve gathered it all in one spot we can pull more out so let’s try

we can pull more out so let’s try

we can pull more out so let’s try turning the vacuum chamber back on and

turning the vacuum chamber back on and

turning the vacuum chamber back on and sucking any additional remaining air out

sucking any additional remaining air out

sucking any additional remaining air out of our little pool of cream here goes

so it is expanding so there’s definitely

so it is expanding so there’s definitely still some air inside that blob it’s in

still some air inside that blob it’s in

still some air inside that blob it’s in fact it’s expanding quite a bit so I

fact it’s expanding quite a bit so I

fact it’s expanding quite a bit so I guess there is a lot of air still inside

guess there is a lot of air still inside

guess there is a lot of air still inside that blob it’s tough to suck all of the

that blob it’s tough to suck all of the

that blob it’s tough to suck all of the air out of something oh it’s gross well

air out of something oh it’s gross well

air out of something oh it’s gross well it’s still bubbling and popping a lot

it’s still bubbling and popping a lot

it’s still bubbling and popping a lot and I kind of want to just let it run

and I kind of want to just let it run

and I kind of want to just let it run until that bubbling and popping is

until that bubbling and popping is

until that bubbling and popping is mostly stopped because I think that’s

mostly stopped because I think that’s

mostly stopped because I think that’s when we’ll have most of the air pulled

when we’ll have most of the air pulled

when we’ll have most of the air pulled out of our cream if it takes too long

out of our cream if it takes too long

out of our cream if it takes too long though I’m just gonna turn it off all

though I’m just gonna turn it off all

though I’m just gonna turn it off all right this is still bubbling at about

right this is still bubbling at about

right this is still bubbling at about the same rate as it was like three

the same rate as it was like three

the same rate as it was like three minutes ago I think at this point we’re

minutes ago I think at this point we’re

minutes ago I think at this point we’re just boiling the liquid inside the cream

just boiling the liquid inside the cream

just boiling the liquid inside the cream so let’s just let the pressure out and

so let’s just let the pressure out and

so let’s just let the pressure out and see how liquidy our cream has returned

see how liquidy our cream has returned

see how liquidy our cream has returned to being stops bubbling as soon as I

to being stops bubbling as soon as I

to being stops bubbling as soon as I turn out I haven’t even put any pressure

turn out I haven’t even put any pressure

turn out I haven’t even put any pressure back in but as soon as I turned off the

back in but as soon as I turned off the

back in but as soon as I turned off the vacuum it stopped bubbling it’s running

vacuum it stopped bubbling it’s running

vacuum it stopped bubbling it’s running already running as a liquid no I think

already running as a liquid no I think

already running as a liquid no I think that looks pretty much just like cream

that looks pretty much just like cream

that looks pretty much just like cream we may have done it we may have just

we may have done it we may have just

we may have done it we may have just returned whipped cream to an unwitting

[Music]

[Music] it tastes like cream it looks like cream

it tastes like cream it looks like cream

it tastes like cream it looks like cream well that’s really cool well my favorite

well that’s really cool well my favorite

well that’s really cool well my favorite part of that is how much the whipped

part of that is how much the whipped

part of that is how much the whipped cream expanded and we didn’t really get

cream expanded and we didn’t really get

cream expanded and we didn’t really get to see its full potential because this

to see its full potential because this

to see its full potential because this container is too small so let’s try

container is too small so let’s try

container is too small so let’s try using the larger jar and maybe a tiny

using the larger jar and maybe a tiny

using the larger jar and maybe a tiny bit less whipped cream and see if we can

bit less whipped cream and see if we can

bit less whipped cream and see if we can still get a tiny bit of cream to fill

still get a tiny bit of cream to fill

still get a tiny bit of cream to fill the whole jar it looked like it was

the whole jar it looked like it was

the whole jar it looked like it was about to do that and that’s awesome

about to do that and that’s awesome

about to do that and that’s awesome there we go I’ve got a little cup full

there we go I’ve got a little cup full

there we go I’ve got a little cup full of our whipped cream now let’s add just

of our whipped cream now let’s add just

of our whipped cream now let’s add just a little bit of food coloring because I

a little bit of food coloring because I

a little bit of food coloring because I think this will be even cooler in color

think this will be even cooler in color

think this will be even cooler in color let’s just add a couple of drops of red

let’s just add a couple of drops of red

let’s just add a couple of drops of red and gently mix it in three

[Music]

[Music] the larger chamber of course does take

the larger chamber of course does take

the larger chamber of course does take longer to depressurize so it’s gonna go

longer to depressurize so it’s gonna go

longer to depressurize so it’s gonna go a little bit slower but it’s definitely

a little bit slower but it’s definitely

a little bit slower but it’s definitely growing

is it gonna break is gonna break ah I

is it gonna break is gonna break ah I have to add nope

have to add nope

have to add nope nope I didn’t add any pressure back that

nope I didn’t add any pressure back that

nope I didn’t add any pressure back that was it it’s like hollow on the inside of

was it it’s like hollow on the inside of

was it it’s like hollow on the inside of this it’s just completely gone that’s

this it’s just completely gone that’s

this it’s just completely gone that’s great that’s great look at this that was

great that’s great look at this that was

great that’s great look at this that was the most expansive thing we’ve ever put

the most expansive thing we’ve ever put

the most expansive thing we’ve ever put in a vacuum chamber I’m pretty sure I

in a vacuum chamber I’m pretty sure I

in a vacuum chamber I’m pretty sure I thought the cake batter was good this

thought the cake batter was good this

thought the cake batter was good this well it takes the cake takes the cake

well it takes the cake takes the cake

well it takes the cake takes the cake from cake I was beautiful I’m touched

from cake I was beautiful I’m touched

from cake I was beautiful I’m touched all right let’s add pressure back in see

all right let’s add pressure back in see

all right let’s add pressure back in see what happens

didn’t change a whole lot yep that’s

didn’t change a whole lot yep that’s sort of creamy a little bit liquid I bet

sort of creamy a little bit liquid I bet

sort of creamy a little bit liquid I bet we could combine this together and pull

we could combine this together and pull

we could combine this together and pull out a little bit more air but we’ve

out a little bit more air but we’ve

out a little bit more air but we’ve already tried that we know what happens

already tried that we know what happens

already tried that we know what happens now I just want to see more whipped

now I just want to see more whipped

now I just want to see more whipped cream expanding let’s try more colors

cream expanding let’s try more colors

cream expanding let’s try more colors all right here goes marbled yellow and

all right here goes marbled yellow and

all right here goes marbled yellow and blue whipped cream and plop falls to the

blue whipped cream and plop falls to the

blue whipped cream and plop falls to the bottom that’s great

delightful

delightful there you have it whipped cream in a

there you have it whipped cream in a

there you have it whipped cream in a vacuum chamber when you pull out all the

vacuum chamber when you pull out all the

vacuum chamber when you pull out all the air it actually does a pretty good job

air it actually does a pretty good job

air it actually does a pretty good job of returning to normal cream it seems

of returning to normal cream it seems

of returning to normal cream it seems like it’s about the same consistency it

like it’s about the same consistency it

like it’s about the same consistency it tastes the same so I think that one kind

tastes the same so I think that one kind

tastes the same so I think that one kind of works now let’s try the same

of works now let’s try the same

of works now let’s try the same experiment using whipped egg whites also

experiment using whipped egg whites also

experiment using whipped egg whites also known as meringue

[Music]

[Music] there we go

there we go

there we go egg whites from six eggs I don’t make

egg whites from six eggs I don’t make

egg whites from six eggs I don’t make meringue much so I don’t know how much

meringue much so I don’t know how much

meringue much so I don’t know how much is it gonna make I feel like it’s gonna

is it gonna make I feel like it’s gonna

is it gonna make I feel like it’s gonna be way more than I need guess we’ll find

be way more than I need guess we’ll find

be way more than I need guess we’ll find out

out

out [Music]

all right we’re gonna call that good I

all right we’re gonna call that good I think they might actually be able to

think they might actually be able to

think they might actually be able to beat even more till they’re even more

beat even more till they’re even more

beat even more till they’re even more full of air and a little bit stiffer and

full of air and a little bit stiffer and

full of air and a little bit stiffer and shinier but I’m also pretty sure that

shinier but I’m also pretty sure that

shinier but I’m also pretty sure that egg whites can break if you meet it too

egg whites can break if you meet it too

egg whites can break if you meet it too much and since I am NOT a baking expert

much and since I am NOT a baking expert

much and since I am NOT a baking expert I don’t want it to break and have to

I don’t want it to break and have to

I don’t want it to break and have to start over so right now it’s pretty

start over so right now it’s pretty

start over so right now it’s pretty stiff it’s not very liquid we’re gonna

stiff it’s not very liquid we’re gonna

stiff it’s not very liquid we’re gonna try this I bet it’ll work really well

try this I bet it’ll work really well

try this I bet it’ll work really well now the egg whites did expand more than

now the egg whites did expand more than

now the egg whites did expand more than the whipping cream so I’m kind of

the whipping cream so I’m kind of

the whipping cream so I’m kind of wondering if they’re going to do the

wondering if they’re going to do the

wondering if they’re going to do the same thing in the vacuum chamber I

same thing in the vacuum chamber I

same thing in the vacuum chamber I almost want to start with an even

almost want to start with an even

almost want to start with an even smaller amount of the meringue yeah

smaller amount of the meringue yeah

smaller amount of the meringue yeah let’s just try about this much see how

let’s just try about this much see how

let’s just try about this much see how it turns out all right here goes

and it is growing and it’s holding a

and it is growing and it’s holding a shape it kind of looks like a little

shape it kind of looks like a little

shape it kind of looks like a little ghost or something like I’m a big ghost

ghost or something like I’m a big ghost

ghost or something like I’m a big ghost now I can see some bubbles on the

now I can see some bubbles on the

now I can see some bubbles on the surface starting to pop already broken

surface starting to pop already broken

surface starting to pop already broken nowhere near the expansion of the

nowhere near the expansion of the

nowhere near the expansion of the whipped-cream so while I had a lot of

whipped-cream so while I had a lot of

whipped-cream so while I had a lot of air in it I wonder if it had so much

air in it I wonder if it had so much

air in it I wonder if it had so much that it meant all of the walls holding

that it meant all of the walls holding

that it meant all of the walls holding in the bubbles were extra thin it’s far

in the bubbles were extra thin it’s far

in the bubbles were extra thin it’s far from done moving but it didn’t grow very

from done moving but it didn’t grow very

from done moving but it didn’t grow very much I’m gonna kill this I’ve killed the

much I’m gonna kill this I’ve killed the

much I’m gonna kill this I’ve killed the vacuum for the moment and I want to try

vacuum for the moment and I want to try

vacuum for the moment and I want to try this same experiment in the smaller

this same experiment in the smaller

this same experiment in the smaller chamber because it pulls the air out of

chamber because it pulls the air out of

chamber because it pulls the air out of that much faster I think we’ll have

that much faster I think we’ll have

that much faster I think we’ll have better luck getting our meringue to

better luck getting our meringue to

better luck getting our meringue to reduce back down to egg white in there

reduce back down to egg white in there

reduce back down to egg white in there it goes 3 2 1 yeah it just starts

it goes 3 2 1 yeah it just starts

it goes 3 2 1 yeah it just starts growing so much faster in this chamber

growing so much faster in this chamber

growing so much faster in this chamber there’s just sort of tears itself apart

there’s just sort of tears itself apart

there’s just sort of tears itself apart I don’t think it’s expanding it just has

I don’t think it’s expanding it just has

I don’t think it’s expanding it just has air trapped underneath it and so it’s

air trapped underneath it and so it’s

air trapped underneath it and so it’s just lifting the whole blob at once

[Music]

[Music] that to me looks I mean it’s the same

that to me looks I mean it’s the same

that to me looks I mean it’s the same color as the egg white the whiter parts

color as the egg white the whiter parts

color as the egg white the whiter parts here floating around I think they’re

here floating around I think they’re

here floating around I think they’re that little tail that attaches the yolk

that little tail that attaches the yolk

that little tail that attaches the yolk to the egg white we had some of that

to the egg white we had some of that

to the egg white we had some of that floating around in there I think it’s

floating around in there I think it’s

floating around in there I think it’s just a little bit more liquid because

just a little bit more liquid because

just a little bit more liquid because we’ve eaten it half to death with a

we’ve eaten it half to death with a

we’ve eaten it half to death with a beater doesn’t really have any of the

beater doesn’t really have any of the

beater doesn’t really have any of the connections holding it together that it

connections holding it together that it

connections holding it together that it did before it’s kind of return to an egg

did before it’s kind of return to an egg

did before it’s kind of return to an egg white state not bad well there you have

white state not bad well there you have

white state not bad well there you have it whipped cream and whipped egg whites

it whipped cream and whipped egg whites

it whipped cream and whipped egg whites in a vacuum chamber we pull out all of

in a vacuum chamber we pull out all of

in a vacuum chamber we pull out all of the air and they kind of return to their

the air and they kind of return to their

the air and they kind of return to their unwitting the egg whites have a very

unwitting the egg whites have a very

unwitting the egg whites have a very different texture and I think that’s

different texture and I think that’s

different texture and I think that’s because we broke up the bonds that were

because we broke up the bonds that were

because we broke up the bonds that were holding together the albumin with our

holding together the albumin with our

holding together the albumin with our egg beater

egg beater

egg beater but the whipped cream actually seemed to
