Engineering Breakfast: The Pancake as a Fluid Dynamics Problem
About this episode
We turn breakfast into physics: optimizing pancake thickness, batter viscosity, and pan heat to maximize Maillard flavor while keeping the center fluffy. From the 190°C target to the Leidenfrost signal and the single-flip rule, learn how to design the perfect pancake like an engineer.
