A mother is usually engaged in kitchen chores, and cooking is one of the tasks that involves both physical and chemical processes.

Every day, a series of scientific experiments take place in the kitchen, showcasing the fascinating applications of chemistry. However, our mothers may not always observe these processes while cooking, as they were never formally taught about them.

Knowledge is a tool that masters art, and it can be acquired both formally and informally. Everything our mother prepares in the kitchen operates on principles of chemistry.

Achieving mastery over cooking requires a series of steps, and chemistry plays a fundamental role in this process. Although chemistry has a vast scope, many of us fail to recognize its true worth and applications.

The kitchen is the best laboratory where one can observe countless science experiments. Every morning and evening, our mothers engage in cooking, which is nothing but a practical demonstration of chemistry. Most of the time, they unknowingly perform basic chemistry experiments. Cooking is not just a daily chore; it is a process deeply connected to the person who plays a key role in the kitchen—our mother.
