The taikonaut team at China's Tiangong Space Station has cooked grilled meat and chicken in space for the first time thanks to a newly established oven. This development aims to not only increase food variety in space but also improve the quality of life for the taikonauts.
The team of taikonauts sent by China to the Tiengong Space Station, which is established in Earth's orbit, cooked grilled meat and chicken in space for the first time thanks to the oven set up at the station.
THEY GRILLED IN SPACE
According to a report by Global Times, the China Astronaut Center shared images of the taikonaut team cooking in orbit. The footage included moments when the taikonauts carried by the Shenzhou-20 and Shenzhou-21 spacecraft cooked chicken wings and meat in orbit for the first time using the oven set up at the Tiengong Space Station.
FOOD DIVERSITY EXCEEDED 190
Officials from the Chinese Space Station stated that the oven was developed to enhance the quality of life for taikonauts in orbit and that it operates in accordance with space station standards thanks to its smokeless cooking feature.
Officials noted that the variety of food in orbit has exceeded 190, and now fresh vegetables, cakes, and meat products can also be cooked.
Users who watched the images that also resonated on social media commented that "this development in space food reflects the country's progress in its space endeavors."
