Separation of Peas and Carrots in Boiling Water
Published
Author(s)
Abstract
Frozen peas and carrots are commonly available in grocery stores in the United States. The carrots are cut into cubes roughly 8 mm on a side. They are prepared together in water which is brought to a boil. Sometimes peas and carrots which are initially mixed together completely separate as the water is heated.Citation
