Chemistry in the Kitchen

Chemistry in the Kitchen (1957) is a documentary film directed by Jan Calábek rated 7.0/10.

The kitchen is an alchemist’s workshop, and the chef is a master of secret teachings. He commands molecules to bubble, boil, rise, change their state, shape, and colour. This educational film shows that cooking an egg or letting dough rise can be a fascinating chemical and physical process, and that our body is a small laboratory, with its own test tubes, gauges, and instruments.
