Pi Powered Garlic Heater 🔥🧄🔥
-
While I originally envisioned getting a Pi to explore linux and networking. I've now ended up working on a sort of micro-controller project. I've been trying to create a temperature controlled space. If I can build a space that maintains a stable 150 degrees Fahrenheit for 3 months I can produce the coveted black garlic. Which is supposed to have a very unique flavor due to slowly undergoing the maillard which is a reaction between the proteins and sugars.
Interestingly black garlic lacks that characteristic garlic flavor because the enzyme alliinase doesn't get a chance to convert alliin into that characteristic compound allicin. But black garlic takes a long time and although people have used dehydrators, ovens, and instant pots to create black garlic they're all relatively inefficient. If you'd like to know more, or learn the same info from someone more charismatic, Bon Apetit did a great video on black garlic here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bF39Xet-3Nk
Anyways, thanks for creating Vivaldi; I look forward to seeing what other users are up.
NOTE: You might notice that nothing rendered in-between the fire emoji of my title. That's because the garlic emoji is a release candidate for Unicode 12.0 for 2019. But eventually it's going to look great!
