Student cooks eggs without water


Drawing course work, the student of the department of industrial design of one of the British universities unexpectedly solved the task, which into the joke they proposed to many generations of his compatriots: as to weld egg without the water?. Simon Rayms approached the matter is very thoroughly: the machine designed by him not only will prepare egg dry, but still and will clean its tip of the shell. The author of idea hopes that his know-how will sooner or later become the irreplaceable belonging of each kitchen.

"me always it seemed that to cook eggs is somehow irrational: labor inputs are disproportionately great in comparison with the fact that you obtain as a result ", says 23- summer designer.

Instead of the plate and the saucepan he decided to use a usual electric lamp. "I read, that the lamps are separated so much energy, which for the heating of house economically more expedient would be simple to leave their always switch oned instead of use central heating", says Simon. According to him, he began his experiments from the fact that prepared the egg under the table lamp. To this it is shrewd of half-hour. Then to Simon it came to mind to adapt at the matter of galogenki. "I exhausted to the experiences of 600 eggs, says inquisitive student. - I ate till full by them to the nausea, but now I can at any moment weld to itself breakfast ".

Eggs are placed into the device of 30- centimeter height, as heating elements in which four halide lamps (in view of this special feature to wash of the egg before the preparation categorically it is forbidden) serve. To the preparation of egg it soft-boiled departs 6 minutes. It is possible when desired and hard-boiled - apparatus is supplied with timer. When product is ready, special knife fells the top of shell, leaving the opening with a diameter of 4 centimeters. This exactly be sufficient in order to dip toast into the yolk.

Rayms patented its it gadzhet and now it searches for investors in order to neglect it into the series production. It dreams about the fact that sometimes its invention can be will be met in the house so frequently as usual toster.

Coffee without the caffeine - fraud

A study of the university of Florida showed that in the coffee without the caffeine the caffeine nevertheless is present, moreover in sufficiently large quantities.

People, which suffer the specific diseases (for example, by hypertonia), and also representatives of some religious konfessiy, reject the use of caffeine. However, in 10 cups of the dissoluble coffee, on bank of which written "does not contain caffeine", is contained as much caffeine, as in two cups of usual.

This conclusion was made on the basis of analysis of 10 it was quality the coffee without the caffeine, sold in THE USA.

In the mean statistical portion of dissoluble "coffee without the caffeine" it is discovered from 8.6 to 13.9 milligrams of caffeine. In the portion of the "ground coffee without the caffeine" - 12-13.4 milligrams.

On the standards, which act in THE USA and West Europe, in one portion "coffee without the caffeine" must be contained not more than 3 milligrams of caffeine. For the comparison, in the cup of the usual dissoluble coffee are contained 85 milligrams of caffeine, in container Coca-Cola - 31 milligrams.

Even the small doses of caffeine influence the rhythm of heart, the blood pressure and the psyche of man. This information published periodical Journal of Analytical Toxicology.

According to the data of the administration OF THE USA on the control of the foodstuffs and the medicines, a quantity of caffeine in the cup of coffee depends on many factors: the type of the coffee (for example, into robusta almost doubly more caffeine, than in arabike), the place of the production of coffee grains, method of the preparation (the "boiled" coffee it contains more caffeine, than dissolved), etc.

The use of 300 milligrams of caffeine in a 24 hour period is considered normal.

According to the data of the national coffee association OF THE USA, 52% of Americans of older than 18- TI of years drink coffee daily. 65% of kofemanov use coffee to the breakfast. 35% of them drink only black coffee (without the additives, for example, without the sugar).

Women and men consume coffee in identical quantities; however, - women consider for the different reasons that the coffee helps them to be weakened, and man - to be concentrated, reports Washington ProFile.

Tell me what you eat, and I will say, where you are from...


According to the products, which in you on the table, it is possible to determine, you are the inhabitant of what part of the light. Italian dietologists and sociologists came to this conclusion, coming out at the seminar about the science of nourishment at the Rome university "la of sap'entsa".

After studying the weekly ration of more than ten families from the different corners of peace, Italian scientists came to the conclusion that, for example, between the dinner of European and inhabitant of Africa essential difference not only in the collection of the used products, but also in the sum of money expenditures for them.

"if on the table in essence only meat and semifinished products, a little vegetables and much bread, without the doubts, you live in the rich country, for example in North Europe or in THE USA", establishes the professor of the science about the correct nourishment of university "la of Porta kanelli's Sap'entsa".

If your ration is based on the fish, sea products and grains, then, most likely, you are Japanese. But if on the plates, mainly, cereal and bean crops, then, most likely, you the inhabitant of the developing country and for sure suffer, as speak experts, in "malnutrition because of the poverty". In the opinion of Italian dietologists, most balanced and correct style of nourishment the inhabitants of the Mediterranean adhere to. Their ration is diverse, into it enter all necessary for the man products: is much fresh vegetables, fruits and verdure, fish, meat, meal articles.

Unfortunately, for populating the poor countries food ration depends not on desire, but on the possibilities. For example, family Natomo from Mali, which consists of 15 people, constantly it find "on the diet", since in the week they can allow themselves to spend not more than 20 Euro- on food. Their weekly ration without the excesses - 30 kg of corn, 20 kg of millet and rice, 4,2 liters of acid milk, 2,5 kg of tomatoes, four liters of vegetable oil, two kg dry fish let us add here 2,5 kg of salt and 200 grams of sugar.

The most economical table, according to the results of a study, proved to be the table of the inhabitants of butane (state in the Himalayas), who eat meat and fish one time per month and basic products in their ration are vegetables, fig, sometimes bananas are much sharp pepper. The average family of this state expends on the subsistence four Euro- in the week. Most expensive weekly ration, according to the data of sociologists, in the inhabitants of Australia. Australian family on the average expends on the products 297 Euro-, in the second place Japan (250 Euro-), then follow Italy (in the average 215 Euro-), Great Britain (200 Euro-), Turkey (about 157 Euro-), USA (125,5 Euro-), China (123,5 Euro-), Egypt (54 Euro-), India (31 Euro-).

In the first place on the use of meat Australia proved to be - in the week mean statistical family eats 20 kg of meat. THE USA and Great Britain, where, on the contrary, they eat meat with the small hunting (700 deg - 1,5 kg) in the week, they lead on the use of semifinished products, products of rapid preparation. On the average American family of four people uses in the week 2-2,5 kg of semifinished products.

Italy with the large detachment leads in the use of macaroni and meal articles. In the Apennines the surname of four people eats about eight kilograms of macaronis. There is one fact, which forced to hesitate in thought Italian dietologists - this is the abundance of used in Italy and other countries of Europe gassed beverages, where in the week he drinks by family on the average of 12 liters of sweet aeration. As specialists speak, everyone perfectly well knows about the harm of these beverages, but no one intends them to reject.
