Improving fry cooking time In January 1994, 'The Economist' magazine
reported that one of Secretary of Energy Hazel O'Leary's success stories about
government research scientists hired out for civilian business uses was the
Argonne National Laboratory's helping McDonald's to find a way to speed up
french frying. A team headed by physicist Tuncer Kuzay, who interrupted his work
on advanced photons, placed sensors inside the frozen fries and was able to
design special frying baskets to deal with the effect of steam created by
melting ice crystals and to cut 30 to 40 seconds off each batch's frying time.
