Lab report Potato pancakes

What type of energy transfer cooked the pancakes?

• convection
• conduction
• radiation
• heat

What could happen if you used too much energy (the pan was too hot)?

• the oil would smoke
• the pancake would be burned
• the outside would be burned, and the inside still raw
• all of these

Why would the size of the pancake important?

• cooks faster
• to give the desired qualities
• easier to flip
• none of these

In conduction, heat is transferred by direct contact between hotter and cooler molecules

• A. True
• B. False

Foods generally cook by multiple types of heat transfer at the same time

• A.True
• B.False

Energy is the ability to cause change

• A. True
• B False

Methods of heat transfer are alike in that all ______

• A. Transfer energy from a hotter substance to a cooler one
• B. Use the same medium of heat transfer
• C. Have the same rates of reaction
• D.Are equally suitable for every food

Adding heat speeds the rate of chemical reactions in food by_____

• A. Move apart until they no longer touch
• B. Releasing the heat energy stored in food
• C. Increasing the force and frequency of molecular collision
• D. creating hot spots in sugar and fats

When heat is applied to a substance, it's molecules___

• A. Move apart until they no longer touch
• B. Move more quickly
• C. Remain locked in the same structure
• D. Tumble and flow past eeach other

Cooking foods successfully depends on controlling____

• A. How much energy a food absorbs
• B. How quickly a food absorbs energy
• C. the rate of energy transfer
