What is gas cooking? Flameless cooking? Gas cooking means cooking that with flames ! Flameless cooking means cooking that without flames!
In the past… We used fossil fuels in an unrestrained way……
In the future… • Cooking will still be essential in our daily lives • Flameless cooking can be carried out to reduce the fossil fuels used for cooking
Preparations of food samples Egg custard vitamin C solution Liquidized tomato paste
Food Samples cooked by: • Electric cooker • Microwave oven • Solar cooker • Town gas cooker
All the food samples ( egg custards, vitamin C dissolved solutions and liquidized tomato paste) were cooked by a CONSTANT amount of energy, which is 211.2kJ CONSTANT
Take the initial and final temperatures of the cooked food samples
Biuret test • Add sodium hydroxide solution followed by copper (II) sulphate • The appearance of deep purple colour indicates the presence of proteins
DCPIP test • Add the extract into a constant amount of DCPIP solution • Count the number of drops of extract added until the DCPIP solution become decolorized

Factors to be considered • Nutrients retained • Cooking efficiency • Economical Price
Which one is the most preferable? For nutrients retained: SOLAR COOKER !!!! For the highest cooking efficiency: ELECTRIC COOKER !!!! For the most economical one: FLAMELESS COOKING !!!!
CONCLUSION Gas cooking is NOT better than FLAMELESS COOKING
Why may FLAMELESS COOKING take the place of GAS COOKING? • Energy crisis • Price of fossil fuels • Gas cooking becomes not so economical • Flameless cooking is being improved and promoted
Is solar cooker really practical or applicable? 96ºC • Sunlight in Hong Kong is regional • In other countries with strong sunlight, a temperature as high as 96ºC has been recorded • Technology of solar cooker can be further developed in the future
