Thermal Durability

Investigating materials' thermal response for safe dim sum models.

A metal steaming tray containing several dumplings placed on wax paper with small circular holes. The dumplings have a slightly translucent appearance and appear to be filled with a greenish vegetable mixture. The background is a red table surface, and there is a spoon positioned near the tray.

Research Project

Focused on identifying structural deformations and temperature resistance levels for mini shumai models, enhancing food safety testing in culinary displays and educational scenarios.

A group of translucent dumplings is arranged on a perforated metal steamer tray. The dumplings have a delicate, translucent skin and appear to be filled with a mixture containing green fillings, likely vegetables or herbs. The surface reflects a fresh, slightly shiny appearance.

Data Analysis

Recording thermal data, classifying resistance levels, and supporting food safety in interactive cooking exhibitions with advanced material testing.

A bamboo steamer contains four well-crafted dumplings with delicate folds. These dumplings appear to be freshly steamed and sit on a layer of parchment paper. In the background, there is part of a person wearing a dark shirt visible.

A tabletop scene featuring steamed dumplings in a bamboo steamer and on a green tray. Accompanying the dumplings are bowls of dipping sauces, a glass of beer on a red coaster, a pair of green sunglasses, a camera, a green smartphone, and a woven placemat. A hand is holding a dumpling with red chili sauce.

A wooden table with a bamboo steamer basket containing six dumplings garnished with green leaves and small pieces of red garnish. Next to it is a small dish with sauce divided into two sections: a thick red sauce and a dark liquid sauce. There is also a menu on a clipboard with retro artwork, a white plate with some food remnants, and an empty glass mug with chopsticks inside.

A wooden board holds a bamboo steamer basket containing a plate of yellow dumplings. Next to the basket, there is a small white bowl filled with a red sauce. A refreshing drink in a tall glass garnished with mint leaves and a lime slice is positioned nearby. The setting suggests a casual dining experience.
