I'm growing these special melons to make the worlds best melon sorbet. I'll be utilizing my rotovap to concentrate the melon juice for it. :D

>>19305592
Wish I had one of these but I only have a dismembrator. I don't really need nano emulsions for food, although it would be cool to make a perfectly clear vinaigrette. :[

Dismembrator coffee. Cold brew woth non dairy creamer in 3 minutes. Needs work because it is literally impossible to filter. Even with a centrifuge...

>>19305632
I have developed some cool techniques for such things. You can really concentrate aromatics if you use a rotovap correctly.

I am 102% certain that no chef has used this piece of equipment for cooking. It's a power supply to run electricity through food for processing. Benefits of Ohmic heating include: uniform and rapid heating, way less cooking time, better energy efficiency, and volumetric heating(heat from inside). You must be regretting challenging OP, right? t.OP

The metal bit goes up and down 20k times a second with over 100watts of energy. This breaks cells, emulsifies shit, cavitates, and greatly speeds up extraction. The liquid that is sonicated heats up there is so much mechanical energy being dumped into it.

Solids sorta just flow up the probe. Idk why.

No. Please read.

With a metal bit inside the rim of a glass jar?
Well, hope your aim was good enough. And hopefully nothing happens where the metal spout touches the glass jar. Cause it would be bad if they touched.

>>	Anonymous Wed May 24 22:08:39 2023 No.19309345 >>19309032 But yes, you are correct. If the probe touches glass it will shatter the glass and possibly break the probe. It's also extremely loud and can damage your hearing without you realizing how loud it actually is.

This is a radiant broiler. It's how premium steakhouses cook their precious steaks, and how wood fire ovens cook pizza. I think radiant heat is good.
