You guys know how many of medicine's wonder drugs have been the result of accidental discoveries? I was wondering how this would translate into the food industry.
I'll start.
Slow cooking bacon. I always used to crank up the heat and cook the bacon as quickly as possible. Thought this was how it was done. Then, one time, I didn't want grease to splatter on my clean stove so I cooked it at medium low rather than medium high.
Eureka! The fat renders better with slower cooking and the bacon just melts in your mouth. Much better taste and texture results than fast cooking.
