This event sounds extremely confusing and random judging by the rules, too bad its not a taste event

And a 'taste' event wouldn't be 'random judging'? You can't be much more subjective than the sense of taste.

The trial event rules in North Carolina last year included a taste test of competitors' pre-cooked pancakes. That must have been fun for the judges.

Ya ya ya , I know, just trying to cheer my day up. Anyway, what is this one about anyway, just testing ingredients

[abator]

You need to know how to do benedict's test, iodine test, and biuret test.
You also need to know the periodic table including honc hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, carbon.
Also know chemical structures.

If anybody could post some more practice test that would be great

You know I signed up for this event and have started taking some notes and I actually find it kinda fun sounding, after all its food.

There was a kid on my team who did this when Food Science was an event.. He became a vegetarian after the event was over

[JKrafsur]

Why did he go vegetarian??

Anyway, I am wondering how on Earth we should interpret the rules that state one word for something we should know on the test, Section C to be exact, how are we supposed to know what to study about that word?

[JKrafsur]

Ok, how did he go vegetarian?

By knowing what our meat goes though..

This event caught my eye this year because:
1. It's about food.
2. It's about baking.
3. I like food and baking.
So, I decided to do some research. It does seem harder than most events, which is why they allow you a whole three ring binder to take to the competition. But based on the three reasons above (and the fact that I need some new events since they took out Ecology), I've decided to give this event a try.

Also, what is a viscosity testing device?

The Homemade Viscosity Testing Device is described at the bottom of page 11 in the Division B Rules Manual.
