At Play in the Culinary Sandbox

One of the pleasures of teaching at a culinary institute is the ability to play with toys - equipment that is usually not available to the average Joe.  Here are pictures of various purees spun @ 8,000 RPM.  The duration is 30 minutes to 120 minutes.  Playing in the culinary sandbox...

 Beet - probably my favorite...

 Cooking the beets in a water bath @ 85 degrees C.

 A loaded centrifuge - a beautiful thing...
