Using FireBoard 2 Pro for Reflow Profiling
In October 2019, FireBoard began producing our own circuit boards with the addition of a surface mount assembly line. The final stage in our PCB assembly line is a BTU Pyramax 8-zone reflow oven. This is where the melting and then cooling of solder creates electrical connections between surface-mounted components and the board. Unlike a conventional food oven, the Pyramax reflow oven uses 8 stages of heating and a final cooling stage to ensure proper bonding of the components to the PCB and to form secure and reliable solder joints.

What Is Caramelization? A Complete Guide
To continue our discussion about temperature’s effect on food that we started in our blog about the Maillard effect, the process of caramelization is similar to Maillard in that it causes browning and enhances flavor, but caramelization is specifically the browning of sugars. As sugars are heated, they melt, forming new molecular compounds resulting in new flavors and aromas. Caramel on its own is delicious, but leveraging the caramelization process can elevate your next dish.
