This exhibition focuses on cooking as its core, showcasing the connection between science and daily life. It introduces the scientific knowledge behind cooking principles, integrating agri-food education with smart cooking technologies to enhance awareness of food sources and technological applications. It also emphasizes innovation and sustainable development in culinary culture, presenting an in-depth dialogue between science and life.
The Science of Cooking exhibition hall is a fascinating journey from the kitchen to the realm of science! Centered around cooking, it unveils the scientific secrets behind food, exploring the exciting connections from culinary arts to technology. Seemingly ordinary cooking actually contains boundless knowledge, encompassing not only the chemical mysteries of ingredient transformation but also incorporating agri-food education and smart cooking technologies. Through interactive design, visitors become “scientific chefs,” observing the changing ingredients during heating, preparing dishes hands-on, or using smart devices to create “future meals.” You can also explore international culinary techniques and understand the scientific connections between taste and smell. This is a space full of fun and learning, where everyone can discover their own little universe of cooking science.
The exhibition hall is suitable for anyone interested in the science of cooking, the stories behind food and agri-food education.
The exhibition hall offers audio guides, smart cooking interactive experiences, and robot chef ordering services. These can be accessed using the “NSTM Mobile” webpage,
