Study Notes
Modern Cooking Equipment
- Modern kitchen equipment has made food preparation easier and more efficient in food service operations.
- Sophisticated cooling, freezing, and heating equipment enable food to be prepared in advance and in larger quantities.
Sous Vide
- Sous vide is a French cooking technique that involves vacuum-sealing food in a bag and cooking it in a water bath to precise temperatures.
- This technique allows for consistent and excellent meals, as it eliminates the lack of control over heat and temperature in traditional cooking methods.
Vacuum Sealer
- A vacuum sealer removes air from the bag and seals it using a heated seal bar, enabling easy transport and reducing spoilage, leakage, and pilferage.
- Vacuum packing helps to reduce wastage and keeps food fresh for up to 3 to 5 times longer than non-packaged foods.
Air Fryer
- An air fryer is a countertop convection oven that uses hot air and rapid circulation to crisp food, similar to deep frying without oil.
- It requires occasional flipping or turning of food to cook evenly, and cleaning after every use is crucial.
Thermomix
- The Thermomix is a blender that stirs and cooks food at varied temperatures and speeds, with a steamer attachment, built-in scale, and touchscreen.
- It can boil, simmer, stew, and cook, and helps with chopping, mincing, blending, grinding, whisking, and kneading, reducing preparation time by 70%.
Pacojet
- The Pacojet is a professional kitchen appliance that micro-pures frozen foods into ultra-fine textures without thawing.
- It can make ice creams, sorbets, mousses, sauces, concentrates, and soups, and works by freezing ingredients at -22°C for at least 24 hours before Pacotizing.
Dehydrator
- A dehydrator removes moisture from foods like fruits, meats, and vegetables using hot air, comprising of trays, heating elements, vents, and a fan for circulation.
