Do you know the reason behind this?
What is the reason?You must have eaten many sweet and salty flavored biscuits which have holes made on them. While eating them, you must have also felt that these holes are made to give the design. However, apart from this, the holes made on the biscuits are also associated with their manufacturing reasons. That is, science also works behind making these holes.
How do dockers work?These holes are called dockers, the main reason for making them is to prevent the biscuits from rising too much. Before any biscuit is made, flour, sugar, and salt are spread on a sheet-like tray and kept under a machine. After this machine makes holes in them.On the other hand, if these holes are not made in the biscuit, then some air gets filled in them which swells during heating in the oven. This makes the data-size of the biscuit bigger. In such a situation, holes are made in them to prevent them from increasing in data-size.Apart from this, a scientific reason for making holes is also to take out the heat present in them. That is, if there are no holes, then the heat of the biscuit will not be able to come out and they will start breaking from the middle.
