I tried doing a cold cooking experiment by soaking dried pasta in vinegar. Im in the UK and rarely do you get unclean dry pasta. It worked, it was edible and safe. The only issue was the starch and time it took. I waited 24 hours when I tested it.

Just found this channel, immidietalaly suscribed! Great video, I was looking for this exact explanation, while exploring what "cooking" really means - denaturation of proteins in the food, which may also be achieved chemically (both through acids, and alkaline conditions)

Great video DR. I am wondering if you can answer this tricky question. How would you cook lets say Beef to 70degC without denaturing the proteins OR denaturing the proteins BUT keeping the cherry red color (Oxymyoglobin) as seen when you buy the Beef raw? Is this possible? To cook beef without it turning brown? Thanks
