Imperial Spherificator: Transforming your food into caviar
Posted on 7/30/15 at 2:31 pm

Spherification is the culinary process of shaping a liquid into spheres that visually and texturally resemble caviar or roe. With the Spherificator, you will be able to shape almost any item in your kitchen into a pearl/caviar. Whether using raw ingredients (ideal) or commercially available products, the rule of thumb in spherification is to avoid citric acids and ingredients with high acidity levels at all costs. If a product is highly acidic (like tomatoes, Coca Cola, or Tabasco sauce for example), you can dilute the original product to cut the acidity and add a little extra seaweed extract - aka Alginate. Every Spherificator comes with a recipe and quick tip booklet to help you get started. Our website will also have plenty of fun recipes, ideas and tips by delivery date.

This is a really weird, interesting idea.

so melt some steaks down into liquid form, put it through the spherificator and then sous vide it?

I wouldn't do steak. Pick some crap meat like prime rib.

I'd try cocktail sauce, wine, chicken or seafood stock for savory dishes. Maybe root beer, sweetened cream or apple juice for sweets.
