If you're into cooking, you should save some pennies and buy these.
Sous Vide. An excellent way to 'boil in the bag' your vac packed grub to perfection without losing any juices. Also can be used as a slow cooker. Pop in your stock, wine or liquid, bang in your meat and leave for several hours. Pick up a decent one off amazon for a couple of hundred.
The Anti-griddle. Freezes instantly rather than cooks, great for making patterns of purees, sauces and other things that can be put straight onto the plate, then slowly melt in front of the customer/guest. If lef on for a while, the outside of a sauce can stay crunchy while the centre is soft. Freezes oils too. Not cheap however.
Pacojet. The ultimate tool for making Ice cream and smoothies. Put your frozen product in the container, lets say frozen bacon or broccoli or whatever you want. Select the portion you want, press the button and the pacojet will vaporize your frozen food into a frozen powder. All you do then is add a touch off cream, or other liquid, mix and hey presto, broccoli Ice cream, or bacon Ice cream.
Bamix. Forget your Braun, Delonghi, Bosch, Kenwood or other hand mixers, this fucker is the bomb. Chances are, you'll be handing it down to your grand kids. Steps up to the plate when other hand held mixers burn there motors out.
Food for thought kids.
