Synopsis

This episode explores two unusual viral videos. First, we consider whether it’s possible to propel shrimp through the air using an air cannon, guiding them via a cloud of flour, a shower of egg wash, and finally breadcrumbs, before a burst of flame crisps them into a perfect plate of tempura. Second, can an underwater explosive charge be used to infuse the interior of a fruit or vegetable while preserving its outer surface entirely intact?
