Useless Thread MDCCLXIX: Keep rollin' rollin' rollin' rollin'

[John Price]

As we mentioned earlier, the Thermomix is also popular in restaurant kitchens. Chefs like Wylie Dufresne, who started using the Thermomix 10 years ago at his innovative Manhattan restaurant wd~50, employ one mostly for sauces, emulsions, and custards. Because the Thermomix stirs while heating to a specific temperature, it allows a chef to be more hands off without worrying that their crème anglaise will curdle, or that their hollandaise will break. Dufresne told us that at wd~50, “we used it to make various desserts, and deep-fried hollandaise, deep-fried mayo—some of the big things that we did at wd~50 back then.”

You could flash fry a buffalo in forty seconds.

He could, most importantly, cook proper risotto in a thermomix because it has a stirring blade O_O

He'd still microwave hotdogs in buns to go with it though

It also can't brown anything because of the blades

Based on reviews you can basically get a pressure cooker (already here) for less which are more effective.

You wouldn't even buy one so what's the point Zaide.

@Miguel Cairo @Fixed to Ruin I reviewed the first few minutes of Duffless on D+ and they still cut the scene where Duff Lite, Duff and Duff dry all come from the same tube.



"Roll in at 6:30, punch out at 2:30, that's the plan."

It can sear, caramelize, etc.

this is not true

Thermomix: What to Know Before You Buy

It still has some shortcomings when it comes to cooking—among other things, it doesn’t actually chop, only pulverize, and it can’t achieve much caramelization (i.e. flavor) when sautéing—but it’s extremely well-designed for usability and efficiency, and also quite powerful and durable.

 

[John Price]

For one thing, the powerful blender blades don’t give you much control over how things are chopped: a second or two at high speed turns vegetables into rough, uneven chunks, and a couple of seconds more chews them to a pulp. You also can’t brown your ingredients much. Between the constant stirring and the deep, steam-trapping bowl, the Thermomix isn’t conducive to caramelization. And with many recipes, we missed the extra flavor that comes with browning foods in a pan.

This is not Alinea. We don't have sous vide machines or blowtorches and we do not serve deconstructed japchae with creme fraiche.

To be honest molecular gastronomy is pretty much bioengineering

Just like Imgur, it's the f***ing dregs of social media

Unfortunately, "turning into a social media platform" has shown to be a working business plan for these businesses.
