Not a chef, but really into modernist cuisine. Got lots of friends who are chefs and even a food tech who designs food for the majors down here in Australia. Right into it for like 10 years. Love it and learnt a lot. Lots of crossover between that and this. Would not call myself a foodie because of the image. I love hearty flavourful food, super smooth sauces and glazes over slow cooked meats also a sweet tooth so like my pattisirie & bakery food. Love technical recipes requiring technique.
Yeah just wanted to know if anyone knew whatās in it to do it on the cheap. Iāve sourced ethyritol, sucralose and all my acids (which I had) in powders and make my own solutions. E.g, 6g sucralose from Melbourne Food Depot costs $31.65 thatāll make 120ml or more. 25c a ml whereas a 50ml solution is around 35c not huge savings but good over time. He sells 6g then 160g Iām sure heāll do me a good deal for more then that. Either way I like to get the powders if I can and diy.
Btw for you Aussies Melbourne food Depot awesome shop full of wondrous ingredients, freeze dried vinegar is the best in making a salt a vinegar home made chip/fries keep them super crisp but still get the vinegar as an example.
Marshmallow is just vanilla sugar, itās the mouthfeel that gives it the yum. Iād be super interested to see what theyāve used in the marshmallows out there. Extracting would not yield anything I think. Now toasted marshmallow you could maybe do a extract. Then couple that with whatever is in the marshmallow. The flavour companies will be using a synthetic for the toast effect. I have not had it so canāt be sure.
Youāve got me all excited. This is the ultimate in flavour extraction. Rotary evaporator. Cost$$$$$$. You can boil off at precise temperatures and at lower temps because itās under pressure therefore not breaking down flavinoids. So cool.
I donāt have one. Ahh Jeannie.
If your ever in oz Iāll be happy to do you a slow cooked beef short rib with red wine glaze. Followed by a chocolate volcano pudding. Iāts fān awesome if I do say so myself. Mental note: post is too long.
Mate!! Lol fairly affordable Time to research and see how this bad boy actually works and ponder whether this is a sound investment. Cheers
Apologies ahead of time for blatant stereotyping lol
Ive never owned one. But that looks like its missing stuff. Canāt see the temp controlled bath the bulb is meant to be in. they should start at about $3000 for a small one was my understanding, and you can find good ones used on ebay but take like 3 months to clean them as you don;t know what they were doing with it ( I suppose you could ask).
D your research and see you never knowā¦ Got any chemists? What do they think?
There are some threads here that go pretty deep into that subject, just type stevia into the search bar, maybe this will help get you started on your question
This is not pure stevia, Pyure is the brand name of this product available at wal-mart. IMO this is not sweet, but the other added ingredients do something for fruit e juice especially citrus.
As I understand Stevia if you use to much it gets bitter so perhaps thats why your coffee got that way. I have never used it in vaping but in a cup of unsweetened yogurt one drop is plenty to give it a nice sweet taste
I was going to use it in conjunction with sugar (that I sweeten coffee with) and slowly reduce the amount of sugar I used. But it was a no go for me, due to the bitterness I was tasting. I was only using 1 or 2 drops as a partial replacement at the time.
Try it in citrus fruit vapes at 1 drop per +/- 15 ml and its magic, taste it on your finger its so friggin bitter. 1 drop in a cup of coffee and I went back to agave, sugar, or the flavored creamer. It just isnāt sweet to me. I just get the vinegar/citric acid taste. But I highly recommend it for use as a flavor enhancer in e liquid.
