Meet The Spherificator

EASY, CONSISTENT AND FAST CAVIAR-LIKE FOOD PEARLS.

Spherification is ideal for creating pearls or spheres that will liberate their flavors while bursting in your mouth. The Spherificator uses the reaction between the vegan food additives sodium alginate (extracted from algae) and calcium chloride (a salt) to form a spherical membrane around the ingredient you choose forming liquid centred spheres or pearls. When a solution containing sodium alginate is dripped into a calcium bath, calcium ions react with alginate molecules by allowing them to align and bind so that a thin gel membrane forms around the droplets making caviar like pearls of liquid food that go pop in your mouth.

The process of turning liquids into caviar-shaped pearls or spheres through the spherification technique has been around since the 1950s, but until the invention of the Spherificator it was an extremely arduous, time-consuming and inconsistent task. If you have done it before using a syringe you will be thankful that those times are now behind us and you’ll be pumping out all kinds of pearls in no time.

For an optimal burst-in-mouth effect, serve pearls within 15 minutes of creation. As the pearls sit the reaction will continue until they are completely congealed. This is so easy with the Spherificator.

ABOUT SPHERIFICATION PEARLS

Spherification is the culinary process of shaping a liquid into spheres that visually and textually resemble caviar or roe that can take on any flavor, sauce or topping. With this innovative device, you will be able to shape almost any item in your kitchen into a pearl. Alginate, a seaweed extract, is mixed with Calcium to form a pearl-like shape. As described by the Spherificator, “Whether using raw ingredients (ideal) or commercially available products, the rule of thumb is to avoid citric acid at all cost and ingredients with high acidity levels. If a product is highly acidic (tomatoes, coca cola, Tabasco sauce), you can dilute the original product to cut the acidity and add a little extra seaweed extract”. For example, If a product is highly acidic like tomatoes, Coca Cola, or Tabasco Sauce, you can dilute the original product to cut the acidity and add a little extra seaweed extract (Sodium Alginate) The spherification kit comes with a recipe and quick tip booklet to help you get started.
