Our Chemistry Food Fun Day was such a huge success!!! Many students asked
for the recipes for the food items so they could try them at home. So here
they are:
Recipe for Home-made Root Beer:
In a large 5 gallon bucket combine the following indregients:
4 gallons drinking water
5 pounds of sugar (less if you do not like it as sweet)
1 bottle Zataran's Root Beer concentrate OR McCormick Root Beer Concentrate
5 pounds dry ice
Begin by placing 3 gallons on water into the 5 gallon bucket. Throughly mix
in all the sugar until completely dissolved. Add in the bottle on root beer
concentrate and mix throughly. Add the dry ice in large chunks as the
mixture will begin to "boil" when the dry ice is added. Once the boiling
slows down add the last gallon of water. If you leave the lid off the 5
gallon bucket the root beer will not be as fizzy, but if you place the lid
on the bucket, you risk the lid popping off-- so be careful! Once the dry
ice has completely dissolved, you are ready to enjoy!
Zip Lock Baggie Ice Cream
1 T sugar
1/2 cup milk (or half and half)
1/4 tsp vanilla flavoring
2 T rock salt (not table salt)
ice
1 sandwich size zip lock baggie
1 gallon size zip lock baggie
Put the sugar, milk and vanilla in the sandwich sized zip lock baggie.
Squeeze until mixed evenly.
Place the sealed sandwich zip lock baggie filled with mixed ingredients
inside the gallon zip lock bag.
Put rock salt and enough ice to fill the gallon zip lock baggie about 3/4
full.
Shake and jiggle until the ice cream firms up. This generally takes about 20
minutes. It depends on how much shaking each ice cream maker does and how
vigorously.
Remove the ice cream baggie. Wipe or rinse it off, since it has rock salt on
it. Rock salt does not taste good on ice cream.
You don't even need a bowl. Just grab a spoon and eat the ice cream right
out of the individual baggie.
Magic Cake
1 package cinnamon swirl cake mix
1-1 1/2 cups of apple sauce
3 eggs
Mix the above ingredients all together in a seperate mixing bowl. You will
need to obtain a Stoneware baking dish (this is the one I have:
http://www.pamperedchef.com/our_products/catalog/product.jsp?
productId=173&categoryCode=FH). DO NOT use a metal or metallic pan in the
microwave. Throughly grease the stoneware pan with Pam or a non-stick
cooking spray. Place the mixed ingredients into the stoneware pan and
microwave for approximately 15-20 minutes (cooking times vary depending on
the power of the microwave). Once the cake is baked, remove from the pan by
flipping the pan over and the cake should come right out. Place either
vanilla or caramel icing on top of the cake while still hot and the icing
will melt over the cake. Slice and enjoy!
