A few years back, we raised some money and spent some time asking ourselves, "What would a Food Lab television show look like?" Like the column, the show would strive to communicate complex scientific concepts, and more importantly, show how understanding those concepts can improve your cooking.

We pulled together a production team, and enlisted the help of former Serious Eats intern Katie Quinn to up the on-camera charisma factor, we wrote some scripts, and we shot and edited the episodes.

Then...pretty much nobody saw them. This was our own fault—due to a partnership we made to get the series funded, we were unfortunately required to distribute them behind a paywall. That contract has since ended, and we're in the clear to do with them as we please. So here we are, releasing them to you one-by-one, for free.

In this episode of the Food Lab video series, Kenji and Katie explore what do vinaigrettes, mayonnaise, and pasta sauce have in common: Each relies on the wondrous process of emulsification.

So get ready to gasp as they literally watch vinaigrettes separate! Marvel as they lick freshly made mayo straight off our fingers! Swoon in awe as Kenji's shifty eyes rapidly track from camera to camera, because he wasn't sure where to look! It's time to learn about emulsions.
