Baked chicken with rice makes for a sumptuous meal.

Ingredients

1 cup long-grain rice, uncooked
1 cup sliced celery
1 (10oz) package frozen peas, about 1 1/2 cups
2 cups water
2 teaspoons salt
2 tablespoons butter
1 to 1 1/2 cups cooked diced chicken
2 tablespoons flour
1/8 teaspoon pepper
2/3 cup milk
1 cup shredded mild Cheddar or American cheese

Preparation

European Space Agency (ESA) cut potatoes into thin sticks and then deep fried them in extra-virgin olive oil, one side at a time, in a spinning centrifuge – creating conditions of up to nine times Earth’s gravity.

They found that the higher gravity levels significantly upped the heat transfer between the hot oil and the potato, which shortened frying time and resulted in thick, crispy crusts.

In fact, the scientists may have found ideal gravitational condition for making fries: The crust reached its max thickness when potatoes were fried at three times the Earth’s gravity.
