I’ve been making pasta for a few years now and 2 or 3 times I’ve made lasagna sheets that fall apart instantly when hitting the water. I couldn’t figure out why it was happening. I speculated that a coworker maybe filled the flour bins with the wrong flour (pasta,pizza,bread,ap). I’d love to see an episode on the science of pasta. How it holds up, why it can fall apart and the reasons they’re different shapes. Could be helpful to a lot of people
I remember having the same problem at one of the restaurants I worked at where we made fresh pasta. We made the pasta using only semolina and water. Check the water temperature in your mix for consistency.
I drank some milk today, and its not outdated! it goes out in like november (its august) and it had small, small chunks in it... now im worried.. because i drank it 😅 (The milk is a special milk that doesn't go outdated before a few months. i also had it in the fridge)
I love Lauren's videos the best and not just because I'm secretly in love with her...I just love her presentation style, speaking pace, and voice tone. Another great video! More Lauren! :)
I just drank a carton of milk that curdled, nothing happened to me. The first day I just drank the clumps. The rest I filtered the big clumps. It had no smell or bad taste and that's why i drank it.
This answered alot my questions to the conversion of milk to cheese. Thank you! Can you do an extended version of this video on the whole conversion of cheese to milk?
I came here hoping to see why it works equally in plant and animal milks. I suspected it had to do with positive and negative ionic interactions, so that was neat, but I'm still not sure if it counts as an emulsion and that the process is the same since lactic acid shouldn't be a part of it AFAIK.
BrainStuff please make an episode with "Why people like evil thinks and thoughts " i mean really. All of us enjoy being bad and evil, feel that power hunger. What make us feel so good when we do evil thinks?
+stephen johnson Good question! It's probably the sound of a tiny air bubble forming inside the fluid in the joint, created when you stretch the joint by moving your neck. It'd make an awesome video -- thanks for asking! Here's a report on knuckle cracking in the meanwhile: www.npr.org/sections/health-shots/2015/04/15/399636388/why-knuckles-crack
I just poured out today a half gallon of milk, that was six months old that did not go sour. Did not clump nor stink. No odor at all, poured just like the day I bought it. What gives?
If they're negatively charged it makes sense they force themselves to be well distributed. But why would they clump when they're neutral? Clumping seems to imply attraction, why are neutral mycelles attracted to each other?
+raydredX Even though they don't have a charge, the outside layer of the micelles are still hydrophobic. So when they happen to run into each other via the entropy of the milk system, they latch onto each other. It's not as strong a force as charged attraction. That make sense? /Lauren
+BrainStuff - HowStuffWorks Thank you so much for the reply! Hydrophobic implies it's not attracted to water. (if it meant it repelled that would be enough to explain it) So why does the entropy favor them latching together?
+BrainStuff- HowStuffWorks Wait... So its not dangerous to drink it? with clumps in it? because my milk is not outdated and it already had small, small chunks in it. But the chunks are not like CHUNKS, they are just small pieces.. :O And i kind of drank it so...
i dont technically have a bac yet but its just chemistry, you dont need biochemistry to know that polar and non polar liquids dont mix, or that this is what milk is, as for lactic acid, you can already know it because of the ''vinegar'' smell of sour milk
+Martijn Coppoolse It's an alcoholic beverage made with coffee liqueur, (typically) vodka, coke and a splash of milk. Sounds kind of gross, but the flavour is lightly sweet.
+CiderDivider Thanks, I didn't know that one. In that case, the alcohol denatures the proteins in the milk, which causes the curdling. (Also, coke is slightly more acidic, which might speed up the process.) It's perfectly safe, since the dangerous part of milk gone bad is the bacteria (or rather, their excrements). In your paralyzer, there's no bacteria (to speak of), and so no danger.
+Martijn Coppoolse Interesting! I've seen conflicting information when I looked it up in the past, so when I seen this video that quickly came to mind. I know that coke and milk (or other dairy products like ice cream) have an interesting reaction when put together, but wasn't confident on the alcohol portion. And even googling it now, there are all sorts of ways to prevent it when you're mixing the drink, but everyone's got a different answer. Some are pointing at the temperature, others are saying the ratios need to change, and others are saying there's a specific order. I have a 50/50 rate with the curtling haha
+CiderDivider My answer was indeed wildly simplistic. There's a surprising number of variables at play when making such a mixture. Milk is a suspension, your coffee liqueur probably too, and coke also has a far from straightforward composition. Temperature and the degree of acidity both play a role in whether or not it curdles. And since curdling is not an instantaneous process, having a little milk in a lot of alcohol will produce a different effect than a little alcohol in a lot of milk; which means the pouring order can be important too, and even the pouring speed... A Ukrainian friend of mine once showed me how to pour hot tea with milk _and_ lemon. In that case, it's the lemon's acidity that curdles the milk, so the trick is to use the tea's heat to break down the curdling agent (which tends to break down at temperatures above 70°C). I've managed it a few times, but it curdles more often than not. :-P
why does milk clump together? well Umm because of the bacteria in milk... they produce lactic acid. and the acid makes the protein clump .. it makes the protein "sticky" ... just a one liner ..
+Caleb Limb Personally, I can neither confirm nor deny whether I agree. But either way, we're not associated with either of those companies. :) /Lauren

BrainStuff - HowStuffWorks OMG YOU COMMENTED SOO COOL!! Hello! Please reply.
I love Lauren's videos the best and not just because I'm secretly in love with her...I just love her presentation style, speaking pace, and voice tone. Another great video! More Lauren! :)
love your videos im hooked. thanks for the education
why does milk boil with froth for the first time and later, after 2-3 boils, it never comes up to the level of spilling ?
Does baking soda stop milk from clumping, if so could you keep the milk outside the refrigerator?
I just drank a carton of milk that curdled, nothing happened to me. The first day I just drank the clumps. The rest I filtered the big clumps. It had no smell or bad taste and that's why i drank it.
"Poop in general is interesting."

If curds and whey are left when lacto bacilli is present, where is the lactic acid and how do you separate it?
thank u so much! very informative :))
so what's the difference between yougurt and rotten milk?? both are caused by bacteria right ?? ..plz elaborate..thanks.
yogourt has specific bacteria that are good for you, but rotten milk is filled with a bunch of random, potentially harmful bacteria

Curdled milk is not bad food, bovine mammary secretions are for bovines, not human food.
Thanks for all this useless knowledge birdtree, it really helps me procrastinate
lmao
Actually this was so helpful
is that micelles similar to that soap micelles?
Does lactose free milk not curdle?
Milk and Cereal, Milk and Cereal, Milk and Cereal, Cereal and Milk
Jasperro fuck you
My 10 litre milkes always crudles.what to do.i am in huge lost.save me.give me a suggestion
I will never look at milk the same again😧
What's the noise made when you "crack" your neck?

so why can you eat yogurt but not curdled milk
yogurt has a lot more stuff in itthat curdled milk.
*God has entered the chat*
God: Brainstuff, if you reply, you shall be granted 500 years of life.
*God has left the chat*
Why the fuck is everyone scared of eating curd, lassi is made from the same thing. Stop drinking mango lassi then!
i thought you were Lee Ann Mcadoo at first.
Isn't milk an emulsion due to the homogenization process? In unhomogenized milk, the cream (the part with all the fat) rises to the top.
Maybe it's both
Milk has officially gone bad.
safe to drink curdle milk as yoghurt?
+Youngboon Lim Yes! Controlled versions of curdling create completely safe food products like yogurt and cheese.
BrainStuff - HowStuffWorkssorry no I mean, drinking overnight milk is it safe
+BrainStuff - HowStuffWorks what about the milk that got curdled by itself ? is it safe to consume?
+BrainStuff - HowStuffWorks what about the milk that got curdled by itself ? is it safe to consume?
you guys are gr8 and your videos too bt you shld change your background image and music like seriously :)

why does almond milk go bad after 7 days
It definitely does not
I came here because of the term “blood-curdling” from Inside Edition 🤪
I just looked down at my cereal and it has curds in it.......
i was eating!!!!! my apple... omg
in northern india and pak people do the control version to make yogurt

Wait... So its not dangerous to drink it? with clumps in it? because my milk is not outdated and it already had small, small chunks in it. But the chunks are not like CHUNKS, they are just small pieces.. :O And i kind of drank it so...
Now i can make cheese
why did i watch this video? i probably could have explained it better
+aajjeee If you make your own video about the topic, we'd love to see it! ^__^
BrainStuff - HowStuffWorks i mean this figuratively, im a chemist so it was pretty obvious for me.
i dont technically have a bac yet but its just chemistry, you dont need biochemistry to know that polar and non polar liquids dont mix, or that this is what milk is, as for lactic acid, you can already know it because of the ''vinegar'' smell of sour milk
its true i didnt know the barteria was already in the grass before the cow ate it, which is a nice addition
moldy, stinky milky! Let's Goooo!!
well milk doesnt go bad its just turning into cheese
Robert Myers lol😂😂
that's just yogurt floating to the top. just eat it.
Why don't you try it first and then report back to us? 😃
I'm lactose intolerant ;P But trust me, just eat it.
So what causes the milk to curtle when put in a paralyzer? Is it the coke? The alcohol? Is it still safe to drink at that point?
A "paralyzer"? What's that? It sounds like coke with some kind of alcoholic beverage...
+Martijn Coppoolse It's an alcoholic beverage made with coffee liqueur, (typically) vodka, coke and a splash of milk. Sounds kind of gross, but the flavour is lightly sweet.

so if I let the milk go bad, basically I made kefir?
Madd science
Wowwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww☣🖕

Are you a transgender?
yeaa first to comment!
forth :)
Why does the milk turn bad no way they made them so bad and then they became expired
