I\'m not quite sure. What would be the purpose of using it for frying?

Hello. Yes, anything fat based works with maltodextrin, so technically yes, you will be able to make bacon powder! As for the maple syrup, no that won\'t work. It has too much water content, plus no fat content only sugar. What you could do with the maple syrup is maybe boil it down even more and maybe make a thin sugar film? Sort of like the top of the creme brulee when its torched? Just an idea. Let me know how it turns out!

To be honest, I wouldn't know. Unless you ordered them online from American and had them shipped there. You can try modernistpantry.com.

It has no effect on the fat content. Actually, turning things into a powder with tapioca maltodextrin only works with high fat content products, with low water content. But it seems that you might be using it as a stabilizer, correct? Either way, it has no effect on changing the caloric content of what your making. Sorry, the fat stays :P

Are you talking about the flour or the starch? I believe they can both also be used interchangeably, as the maltodextrin, but the malto form is a derivative of the starch powder I think.

I doubt an iSi whipper will go for nothing :) So many other things you can do with it other than whipped cream. Actually, maltodextrin binds to fat, so that is probably why a small amount of cream is added. Honestly, with all this stuff, you have to just experiment. Trial and error. Have a notebook and record the amounts and results and keep tweeking. If you don\'t want to keep using gas canisters, try experimenting with a mixer stand till you have a close enough recipe. Sorry I don\'t have more specifics.

I\'ve heard of that...but, thankfully never happens to me. Depends how much you eat of it I think.

Sad to hear. It\'s really not that hard. Simple fresh ingredients are needed.
