Laugen Lacher: Sebastian Lege ätzt sich durch das Geheimrezept von Lorenz

Why are pretzel sticks brown? The lye solution breaks down the starch and wheat protein on the surface. In the hot oven, these components recombine, creating roasted aromas. These aromas are responsible for the color and the typical pretzel flavor. And almost everything is done by machines: kneading, cutting, dipping in the lye solution, and then baking for about 15 minutes. This is precisely what makes pretzel sticks such an affordable mass-produced product for Lorenz. https://www.zdf.de/video/portraits/be... Still want more?

With wit and charm, the trained chef and food expert conducts fascinating experiments for the ZDFzeit series "The Tricks of the Food Industry" and shows where and how manufacturers cheat – and, of course, why! His fundamental belief that good food is more than the sum of its ingredients is summed up by the food expert as follows: "It's not simply a matter of combining basic ingredients that creates a delicious meal. Rather, it's a composition of appearance, smell, sound, and taste, as well as nostalgia, emotions, and the memories that each individual associates with it." *** ZDFbesseresser is a Story House Productions production commissioned by ZDF. #zdfbesseresser #foodstories #salzstange #lorenz #snacks
