David Arnold, the man behind cooking issues and the searzall, is awesome and super-smart. He also has a weekly podcast by the same name[0] that I find enjoyable. He's basically a mad scientist w/ food + drinks. His bar in Manhattan[1] is crazy cool. He's also done a lecture series at Harvard[2] if you're interested in learning more about the science/engineering of food.
As far as the Searzall goes; very cool product. If you get in to Sous Vide it's definitely one of the better ways of finising a protein. I still default to a broiler or hot cast-iron because it's often easier + faster w/ similar results. But, I still use the searzall ~weekly just as a hand-held broiler for toasting things. hah

- dmix 8y agoWhere can you buy the Searzall? They only link the to finished Kickstarter?
- kevinmchugh 8y agoAmazon is the exclusive retailer. It sells out often and Amazon has been very bad about putting it back in stock, so if you're interested in one, waiting can be frustrating. You'll also need to buy the torch and propane canisters. (Amazon recommends the tall skinny canisters, but that's not safe. Get the squatter, coleman canisters)
- sunsetMurk 8y agoThe Searzall is on Amazon[0] and as mentioned you'll need a torch like this[1]! It's actually in stock right now so if you want one within the net 6 months I recommend buying it. They sell out quickly and they're manufactured in laggy batches. You'll also need to buy some of the propane locally. Their challenges with Amazon comes up regularly on their podcast... apparently it's been lots of headaches. 0- https://amzn.to/2MQOZzb https://amzn.to/2MQOZzb 1- https://amzn.to/2DW7lvU https://amzn.to/2DW7lvU
- discreditable 8y agoNice referral links
- elvinyung 8y agoOn top of the Amazon answer, I think you're sometimes able to get it off of Modernist Pantry [1]. [1] https://www.modernistpantry.com/booker-and-dax-searzall.html https://www.modernistpantry.com/booker-and-dax-searzall.html
- elvinyung 8y agoExisting Conditions is probably my favorite bar in the world. I think nowhere else can you get (relatively) unpretentious drinks that are as perfectly executed. (And if you read Dave's Liquid Intelligence, you'll know why.)
