Spherification

Gathers the modernist techniques that shape a liquid into small spheres with a thin gel skin, namely basic spherification and reverse spherification. A technique belongs here when its own cited article describes forming liquid spheres with alginate and calcium. Browsing this group lets a reader compare closely related methods side by side, and each member is placed here only on the strength of the article cited for that member. The group keeps these methods together under one clear heading in the browse tree, so a visitor looking at one of them can see which others sit beside it.
