The liquid and gasses don't have any tendency to separate. I can see how foods and beverages (like soda) which generate gas would be a bad idea in zero gravity!

Ease of separation of non-miscible materials of different densities is directly proportional to the strength of the gravitational field acting on them.

I wonder if one could cook a souffle in micro-gravity or how bread would rise there?
