Cooking with CO2

Activities developed for the project:

Promotion of scientific culture and innovation in the population of the Merindad del Río Ubierna Municipality in

collaboration with CIUDEN

WARNING:

Dry ice is very cold. Always follow safety precautions when handling dry ice.

You must never touch it directly with your skin. It is recommended that you wear eye

protection and gloves, or use equipment (tongs/ spoons) to handle dry ice.

Dry ice should only be used in the presence of a responsible adult.

Cooking with CO2 Fruit Volcano

Ingredients:

150 g of melon

150 g of water-melon

150 g of red apple

150 g of pear

150 g of strawberry

150 g of pineapple

1 kiwi

250 cl. of milk

250 cl. of cream

125 g of sugar.

Vanilla

Cinnamon

Crushed dry ice

Method:

1. Sauce. Boil the milk, the cream and the sugar with vanilla, cinnamon and the fruit skins and let them marinate for 12 hours. Filter and chill it. 2. Fruit. Peel all the fruits except the kiwi and create small balls with a special spoon. Peel the kiwis like a cylinder, then extract the inner part, to leave them hollow. 3. Ending. Place the kiwi cylinders on the plate, put a small amount of crushed dry ice in the hollow that you have created. Place the fruit balls all around the kiwis. Then pour the sauce on to the kiwi cylinder – as soon as it hits the dry-ice you will create a volcanic eruption, including bubbles and smoke!

Summer Milk-shake

Cooking with CO2

Ingredients:

2 chocolate cakes (different widths)

1 filipinos pack (Cookies with hollow centers that look like wheels)

1 mikados pack (Thin chocolate sticks )

1 test tube

Smarties

Jelly candies for decoration

Method:

Cut the widest cake, to create a train and a wagon. Cut the thinner

cake to create the train cabin. Place all in a tray, as in the image. Put

the Filipinos in each side of the train, connecting them through the

cake with a Mikado stick. Poke some Mikados into the edges of the

wagon to allow it to hold some load.

Decorate the train with Smarties and jelly candies.

To create the steam chimney, push the test tube containing a small

amount of crushed dry ice into the train cabin and add a drop of water.

Steam Train

Cooking with CO2

Ingredients for 10 Penguins: 20 black olives 2 carrots 25 g of cream cheese Drain the olives and dry them well. Separate them by size. Peel the carrots and cut them into thin slices. With a sharp knife, cut a small triangle out of each slice of carrot. Keep these apart. Cut the bigger olives straight as shown in the picture, from the top to the bottom, taking care to leave one side uncut. Fill each olive with creamy cheese, using a spoon or an icing bag. Clean the possible excesses that may appear out of the olive. Poke the filled olives with a toothpick and stick them in a carrot base. To create the heads, make a small cut in the smaller olives - big enough to fit the carrot triangles that you have already cut. Connect the body and the head using the toothpick.

Island Ingredients: White bread Ham Sliced cheese First, with a rolling pin, smash the white bread slices. They must be well flattened ‘smashed’ to stop them breaking when they are rolled. Layer the ham and cheese over the bread and roll it all up together. Cut the sandwich roll in 4 pieces and then put the sandwich rounds in a tray to look like islands. Place the penguins on the tray also. Once in the tray, put a small round bowl or petri-dish in the center of the tray, add water and some bits of dry ice to create the mist!
