There’s something called blast freezer, which is basically a freezer with fans inside, like what convection ovens have. It cools down food much faster than a standard freezer.

It's on my list when I have fuck you money. Next to a pacojet

[–] [email protected] 22 points 2 years ago (1 children)

The pacojet is way expensive, also, the pacojet patents runned off and now there exists way cheaper alternatives that work in the same way. Check out the NinjaCream.

I did but I really want the pacojet :)

[–] idkwhatimdoing 5 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Why? Not challenging, just wondering what the pacojet does that other machines can't

Just reading a quick review of the Ninja Creamy, the Pacojet can run without putting chunks of plastic in your ice cream.

"In early 2023, a moderator in the Ninja Creami Community Facebook group introduced a new rule: No more posts about the plastic issue, lest they clog up the group."

Yeah that seems bad lol. I feel like there has to be an option in between $200(creami) and $7000(pacojet) that can avoid chunks of plastic though

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago

Oh. That's concerning. πŸ˜•

Lol, what? My mother bought that stupid ninja thing. Now my kids are going to be fed even more plastic?

[–] Ashyr 3 points 2 years ago

I have no idea how safe it is; from a health perspective, but it doesn't sound appetizing to me.

Here's the review in question, so you can be a little more informed: https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/blog/ninja-creami-ice-cream-maker-review/

You know, a Pacojet can produce a powderized, uh, snow-like texture.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago

Weird, I JUST watched that movie.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I just looked at the website for the pacojet since I’d never heard of it: legit the most patronising website I’ve ever seen in my life

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

Check out the Ninja Creamie for something almost exactly like the Pacojet but much more affordable.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Well, yes, but then I wouldn't need fuckyou money

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Basically like a blast furnace right?
