I use caustic potassium lye, also known as caustic potash to dissolve chicken flesh. Since I am a chemical engineer I will periodically add in some awesome chemistry videos in addition to crushing things in my hydraulic press.
First I don the appropriate protective gear to deal with such a caustic solution. Then I pour out about 200 mg of potassium hydroxide and add it to about 1.5 cups of water As I am adding the KOH the water instantly begins to boil as the KOH dissolving in water is highly exothermic. After I put in all of the KOH I measure the temperature of the water to be very near boiling, about 205°F.
I then add the chicken wing into the caustic solution. I explain that the hydroxide ions will essentially turn the chicken into soap. This works by breaking down the fat molecules in the cell walls and turning them into glycerol and soap molecules. Watch the fat and meat slowly turn to gel as the potassium hydroxide reacts with the flesh.
Eventually the entire chicken wing dissolves into a gelatinous mass. In the end I show the final product that used to be meat is a transparent soft gel.
This is my first "Dissolve It" video of my hydraulic press videos. I hope you enjoy it!
