Pryles is continuing that scientific rigor at the Test Kitchen and Sensory Evaluation Unit at Iowa State, which offers the controlled conditions that good scientific research requires. She’s now using these facilities to attempt to find the tastiest way to cook bacon. As she proceeds through the work, Pryles posts summaries on Twitter.
