Having seen then used at a couple of restaurants and finding out that it's a key part in the epic duck liver parfait at the Hand & Flowers we wanted a
Pacojet but funnily enough didn't want to pay £4.5k for one. Essentially it's a motorised blade that spins through frozen food and leaves it with an incredibly smooth puree, ice cream and so on.
We then saw a YouTube video for the
Ninja Creami which at £150 or so still isn't cheap but screw it, we bought one. It's had quite a lot of use including the smoothest and most delicious chocolate sorbet I've ever had.
It's a very niche thing, but it's great at what it does.
