    Modernist Cooking - Centrifuges

    DateMonday, August 1, 2011 at 07:34PM

    So we here at Man Meets Stove have been admiring the modernist chefs use of centrifuges to make interesting things, like Pea Butter (blended frozen peas spun in a centrifuge for 3 hours to make a puck of pea starch, pea oil, and a little "pea butter".  Apparently it is absolutely the sex of peas.  

    We have started looking for an inexpensive lab centrifuge to try this miracle substance, and ran across this advice: 

    Rule #1 - Never buy a centrifuge when the eBay address is Yucca Mountain, Nevada or Hanford, Washington nuclear facilities.

    Rule #2 - See rule #1

    Thanks, JBailey.  Duly noted.
