Iron Chef: PopSci Culinary Gadgets Put the "Chen" Back In "Kitchen"

from Gizmodo by Wilson Rothman

Ever wonder how crazy stuff gets whipped up in pro kitchens? Take for instance the Heidolph VV Micro Evaporator, that $3,000 kitchen distiller above. Recognizable food stuffs go in one end, and a powerfully flavored goo comes out the other. (How very... soylent?) Below in the gallery, there are four more unbelievable food processors, and sh'loads more at PopSci's kitchen gadget round-up. If you want to know what kind of mind it takes to dream up and use all of this stuff, read the accompanying feature about kitchen crazyman Dave Arnold. [ PopSci]
