Space cookies: First food baked in space by astronauts

At the International Space Station, chocolate biscuits were baked in December, which is the first case of weightless food baking. According to the results of the experiment, preparing such a meal on long space expeditions will take much longer than on Earth.

Microgravity has an impact on many processes that, as a result, flow in it differently than on Earth. For example on crystal growth, cell action and - baking. While on the ground, the convection of air in the oven significantly helps in translating the heat into the food, but in the zero-gravity universe there is no classical convection. The Zero G Kitchen is surrounded food around and around with heating elements, much like a toaster. The device flew to ISS last November with funding for the DoubleTree hotel chain and NanoRacks, an example of a recent space station commercialization where privateers can rent astronauts' time.
