And how do the food factories get the caffeine out of coffee? To find out, Jimmy makes his own decaf coffee using a fish tank!
 
Jimmy discovers how high-tech hospital kit is helping a sheep farmer choose his best rams for breeding. And he heads off to a factory that makes 30 million Yorkshire puddings every week. How do they get every one to rise perfectly?
