Description
Cryo‑cooking uses liquid nitrogen to flash‑freeze foods, preserving cell structure and preventing ice‑crystal damage.
Technical
By rapidly cooling food to temperatures below −196 °C, cryo‑cooking suppresses ice‑crystal nucleation, maintaining an amorphous ice state that preserves juiciness and protein conformation. The extreme cold also slows oxidative reactions, extending shelf life and flavor stability.
