Can you list any science project ideas that has to do with cooking?

Just no comparing cooking products and anything else would be fine. (:
You could study the acid-base reaction that causes baking to rise, and report your findings, etc…or you could adjust the amounts of baking soda/tartaric acid and monitor the results. (Hint: Google ‘limiting reagents’ and ‘excess reagents’.)
Baking soda reacts with tartaric acid to form gas, in the following reaction:
NaHCO3 + KHC4H4O6 —-> KNaC4H4O6 + H2O + CO2
I had fun with it in Chem class, though I’ve never done it for a science fair.
