Some of the world's best chefs have discovered a vaporizer in the shape of a volcano, as a way to enhance the dining experience of their patrons. As a result, the vaporizer has been finding its way into some of the world's most famous, exclusive kitchens and restaurants.
A vaporizer allows chefs to improve the flavor of food by releasing all the delicate scents and aromas of spices such as lavender, apple, citrus, rosemary; essential oils; potpourri style plant materials; and incense used in cooking, without any accompanying bitterness.
Using a process called 'aromatization', the vaporizer adds flavor to the food in a controlled manner. The aroma created by the vaporizer is released in its purest form, as it is not burned and there is no smoke created. The vaporizer uses a bag that is filled with vaporized spices. Food can then be placed in an oven bag filled with the vapor, resealed, and the contents gently cooked while the aroma permeates the meat. One such meat that is enhanced by this process is crab meat aromatized with thyme.
A similar result occurs when you cook your foods over a bed of fresh herbs in a pan that is sealed. Add a small amount of water, and as the food cooks the aroma of the herbs will permeate the food and enhance the flavor. Meats that work well with this method of cooking include chicken and salmon. You can use any aromatic herb, such as citrus, onions, or garlic to accomplish this result.
Another method using the vaporizer is placing a bell-shaped cover over the aromatized food. When the food is served, the cover is removed and the vapor is released. This method gives the patron an enhanced dining experience by providing them a multi-sensory experience.
One additional method to improve the dining experience by placing a plate of food over an aromatized oven pillow filled with the vapor, which is similar to a placemat. The vapor-filled bag is sealed and just before serving the meal, small holes are poked into the bag so the aroma is gradually dispersed while the food is consumed and the flavors are enhanced. The aroma of the food combined with the vapor adds pleasure while the food is consumed.
A different way to make the most of your vaporizer for cooking is to reuse the vaporized herbs. These herbs can be mixed with melted butter and water, and added to your favorite recipe. If any of the remains contain ash or smoke, they should be discarded.
Fresh, unused herbs can also be added to the mixture to create a more potent flavor. The mixture should be boiled for about 45 minutes on a low heat setting and stirred occasionally to avoid burning the ingredients. The darkened, buttery mixture should then be strained with a cheesecloth and cooled in the refrigerator. The water will sink to the bottom and should be discarded, while the butter can be used in your favorite recipe.
