Searzall


TESTING THE SEARZALL

I came across one of these quite some time ago now. It was a kick starter project on quite an amazing website which helps by getting ideas and dreams off and running. I know David Chang promotes the Searzall a lot and so do many other world-famous chefs, especially ones who Sousvide. It is quite a tool to have in the kitchen as it disperses the flame, rather than a concentrated blue flame which is a bit harder to control.

THE RESULTS

The Searzall actually works really well. The fear is once you Sousvide an ingredient whether it be meat or vegetables, that you are going to over cook it (picture below) trying to brown off the outside to get that all important flavor which you still obtain. I will certainly be using mine a lot in the kitchen that’s for sure!

CONCLUSION

You need to do your self a favor and get one! Specially if you cook Sousvide, a lot of fish or make a lot of desserts. You get full color and flavor without the risk of getting that well cooked band.

Attica


#32 IN THE WORLD FOR 2015

Now I know a few of you guys know I managed to get a booking  into Attica, only two days after the 2015 world rankings came out. I was sitting in my car at 6:50 in the morning with both my work and personal phones in each hand to try and get this booking. As soon as it struck 7am (I had to book in June for September) I hit the reserve button only to find one phone had already not gone through.

It was only when I got the prompt to enter my credit card details (12 minutes later) that I realized I had just booked in to eat at Attica. Huge sigh of relief! Attica has given me permission to use the photos I took. I wont post all my photos as there was 22 dishes, drinks to match and I didn’t get photos of everything (but pretty close). They ware all amazing dishes but the photos I am showing you guys are the ones we liked best!
