cutting fudge
Victor worked in a candy factory. He was making a new recipe for fudge that called for
cooling the fudge at room temperature instead of at the usual cold temperature. The
fudge turned out grainy. Victor thought that the cooling temperature affected the
fudge's texture, and that fudge cooled at a low temperature would be less grainy than
fudge cooled at room temperature, Victor made six new batches of fudge. He cooled
half of each batch at 40°F and the other half at room temperature of 75°F, and then
he measured the graininess of the batches. He found that fudge cooled at 40°F was
less grainy than fudge cooled at 75°F. Victor shared his results with his assistant, and
they changed the recipe so that it included instructions to cool the fudge at 40°F.
