Author here, thank you for the feedback. I am very fortunate to be able to do stuff that I like, but I also aspire to be useful. It pains me that I am not reaching that standard yet, I will think more about how to improve.
I used oil but not a lot. I didn't know about the Maillard reaction, and this is good info. Thank you, and I'll do this for next time. I want to figure out an easy way to make PM2.5 to test my air purifier.
Hey, the author here! Thanks for your suggestion. I did use oil here, but not alot. I should measure it next time. I'm trying to figure out how to synthetically generate uniform particles for testing some DIY filters I'm making, and just frying stuff in more and more oil seems like a good bet.
