What is spherification?
Spherification is the process of turning liquids and liquidised foods into caviar-style orbs through a chemical reaction, transforming otherwise ordinary dishes into restaurant-worthy works of culinary art. The magic is created when a solution of liquidised food and sodium alginate is added to a water bath containing calcium chloride – once the liquid hits the water bath, a chemical reaction takes place, solidifying the liquid into little pearls with a liquid centre (or longer shapes, depending on your method).
Easy to use
Anyone who has dabbled in molecular gastronomy and, specifically, spherification before will know that it’s a time-consuming, fiddly task that requires absolute precision, and can easily go wrong… until now. The slimline, lightweight Spherificator makes it quick and easy to achieve fast, consistent results, allowing you to make large quantities at the touch of a button – up to 700 pearls a minute – rather than one orb at a time, like with the traditional pipette method. Follow the simple steps in the instruction manual and you can enjoy dish after dish of gourmet excellence, bursting with sophistication and flavour that’s a treat for both the eyes and taste buds alike. There are 18 recipes to get you started, from Strawberry Caviar to Saffron Pearls to Confetti Champagne.
Add magic to your meals…
You can create two different sizes of pearls with the nozzles provided, there’s no end to the delicious flavour combinations you can create, and there’s no limit to what you can use them for. You can give the most traditional dishes a modern twist: how impressive will your roast lamb look amid a sea of mint sauce pearls, ready to serve to intrigued guests? Add some bite to your salad with balsamic pearls, or liven up your cheeseboard with a trio of savoury caviars – chive, pickle and red onion would be sure to go down a treat! If you’re looking to host a truly sophisticated dinner party, you could top scallops with lemon pearls or wrap smoked salmon around a bundle of cucumber caviar… our mouths are watering just thinking about the possibilities! It’s perfect for adding instant wow to your desserts too – think cheesecake topped with strawberry pearls, or a tiramisu with coffee pearls. Whatever you go for, you can rest assured that your food will both look and taste amazing.
… and jazz up your drinks
Really impress guests by serving up barworthy cocktails garnished with little pearls bursting with flavour. Add some zing to a mojito with mint or lemon pearls, an extra caffeine kick to an espresso martini with coffee pearls or, for a real grown-up treat, create a whiskey sour with whiskey pearls.
