A Very Rational Kitchen

Concerning kitchen design, I ended up at a party last weekend and saw quite a home kitchen setup.  As you can see, they built a custom space for their Rational combi oven.  Also notice their Sous Vide Supreme, Pacojet, and Vitamix. Both extreme and extremely cool.

I’m reading (and cooking) through that massive tome that is Modernist Cuisine, and am currently at Book Two: Techniques And Equipment, Chapter Eight: Cooking In Modern Ovens, Section One: Cooking With Moist Air. It is here they put their first sentence that is entirely in italics: “Humidity governs the temperature at which food actually cooks“. This is an important point, and helps understand why things are cooking the way they are, down to your particular oven and location. This is covered in Book One on the physics of heat and water. The basic takeaway is that transferring heat from air into food is more even and efficient when water vapor is condensing onto cooler food. For example, onto a roast chicken.  Let’s observe.

The Cast Of Characters

The Cast Of Characters

The title of this dish is misleading.  I mean, how easy is it to steam broccoli in a combi oven?  Set the settings, put it in, wait a few minutes.  No, that would not be satisfactory in the least.  We’re trying to do something different here.  And certainly, so are the authors of Modernist Cuisine.  Turns out it is better to call it Broccoli Three Ways.  Or The Broccoli Trinity.  Power Broc Triple Threat, perhaps. With our humble plant from the cabbage family, we are going to not just steam it, but fry it and pickle it as well.  And throw some cured fatback on top for good measure.  OK, now we’re talking.

Continuing my awesome ability to find super deals on the Internet, I stumbled across a posting on Craigslist for an unused Gaggenau combi oven for under a grand.  That’s a chunk of change no matter how you slice it, but considering these things go for $3000, it was quite a find.  There had to be something wrong with it.  I went to take a look and heard the story: the guy bought the oven at an auction from an appliance store that went out of business, collecting a wide variety of gadgetry for he and his girlfriend’s dream kitchen.  Then, she left him, and headed back to China.  He was trying to get rid of all of it.  No scratches and everything seemed to look good – so I went for it.   A few days later with the help of my neighbor, and I had it installed and, thankfully, working up above my fridge.
