Between my old school pressure cooker, mini toaster/ airfry oven, cuisinart food processor, kitchen aid mixer, scales, thermometers, kitchen knives, pasta machine, coffee and spice grinder, fermenting vessels, rice cooker or Ooni pizza oven I'd also rate my emersion blender with the mini food processor attachment one of the most used items in the kitchen. From 3 minute hollandaise to instant curry pastes it has changed my approach to so many things.
Ive got an old cuisinart from the 90s that is pretty much exactly a 1/2 scale model of a robocoupe with a 2 cup bain. Love that and my stick blender.
Fave commercial appliances? The heated robocoupe, (that could be a chilled in the freezer or maintain a hot temp electronically) that could whip and aerate sauces at temp, like holandaises and chocolate sauces, even make singlenservings of sorbet ala minute.
Tha and a bakers oven i had when I was working on the size of a mountain. It had humidity and pressure controls, allowing me to simulate baking at anywhere between -2 mile below to 5 miles above sea level. Raising the altitude all the way up and running high humidity for like 20 mins made a perfect creme brule.
Setting it to 4 miles high meant a water boiling point of ~160°f, so mixed with a high humidity, I could 'boil the water out, without drying it out and barely cooking the egg.
Awesome, these are some serious gadgets, love the concept of that bakers oven.
Yeah, it was a apparently a $50k+ investment. Went great with the blast chiller. This was working for a country club in Aspen.
