Hey Folks, welcome back in the New Year! I hope you all had nice holidays and enjoyed the time with your families.

Today i want to talk about a field thats not usually associated with the Volcano Vaporizer, but in which the Volcano still gets put to use nevertheless. Its gastronomy! Yes you heard me right.

Chefs in restaurants use the ability of the Volcano Vaporizer to apply controlled heat to herbs to get a desired flavour into their foods. Awesome, isn´t it?

But the Volcano Vaporizer is also used in a special field of gastronomy thats known as molecular cuisine or molecular gastronomy. Now you may wonder what is molecular gastronomy? In the purest sense of the word, molecular gastronomy is scientific discipline involving the study of physical and chemical processes that occur in cooking.

But it is also used to describe a new style of cooking that emerged in the late 1990s. Chefs began to explore new possibilities in the kitchen by embracing science, research, technological advances in equipment and experimenting with various natural gums and hydrocolloids produced by the commercial food processing industry.

A famous chef of the molecular gastronomy movement is the chef of the El Bulli restaurant in spain, Ferran adria. Adria is famous for his thirty course gourmet menue, creating culinary foam and was also one of the first to use a Volcano Vaporizer for gastronomic experimentation.

Many molecular chefs are now following in the footsteps of famed chef Ferran Adria of el Bulli Restaurant in Spain and using the Volcano to add flavoring to their food. He is considered one of the best chefs in the world and tops the European Restaurant Ranking.

Personally i find it amazing in how many different fields the Volcano Vaporizer gets used and what different kind of people can benefit from it. It is truly a scientific miracle for me!
