Whether at work in a lab or at home in the kitchen, one of my favorite activities is testing a new product concept. I find the process of food-product development fun and interesting. And, there is the perk of getting to enjoy the fruits of my labors—if the trial turns out well.
The amount of work needed to conduct numerous trial runs shouldn’t be underestimated, though. I have learned this through the five product-development competitions in which I have participated.
