2 Culinary Foundations Session Seven: Foams, Fats, Gels, Emulsions How are foams, gels, fats and emulsions used in food preparation? As Thickeners As Thickeners Stabilizers Stabilizers Leaving Agents Leaving Agents Flavor Flavor Texture Texture

3 Culinary Foundations Session Seven: Foams, Fats, Gels, Emulsions Some examples of products that include foams are: Meringues Meringues Soufflés Soufflés Chiffons Chiffons Bavarians Bavarians Mousse Mousse Sponge Cakes Sponge Cakes

4 Culinary Foundations Session Seven: Foams, Fats, Gels, Emulsions Tips on successful foams: Foams are: lightened substances. Foams are: lightened substances. This lightening is accomplished by incorporating air. This lightening is accomplished by incorporating air. The walls of air cells formed by egg protein, butterfat or gelatin. The walls of air cells formed by egg protein, butterfat or gelatin.

5 Culinary Foundations Session Seven: Foams, Fats, Gels, Emulsions *Egg foams - Use a foaming agent such as salt, lemon juice, cream of tartar, copper bowl Use a foaming agent such as salt, lemon juice, cream of tartar, copper bowl Warm eggs to 100-120f Warm eggs to 100-120f Do not add anything till eggs reach foamy stage Do not add anything till eggs reach foamy stage Sugar stabilizes foams Sugar stabilizes foams Use egg foams immediately – they will not hold Use egg foams immediately – they will not hold Have clean equipment and clean whites Have clean equipment and clean whites

6 Culinary Foundations Session Seven: Foams, Fats, Gels, Emulsions *Butterfat foams - Use fresh heavy cream Use fresh heavy cream Have everything cold – cream & utensils Have everything cold – cream & utensils Do not add anything till soupy stage Do not add anything till soupy stage Gelatin can stabilize butterfat foams Gelatin can stabilize butterfat foams Gelatin must be dispersed in part of liquid cream and added near completion Gelatin must be dispersed in part of liquid cream and added near completion Do not over beat Do not over beat
