Gastronomy

Who would have thought that gases would one day play a major role in haute cuisine? The “cryo-cooking” trend has made this possible, demonstrating that flavourless gases combine perfectly with the finest gastronomic delights.


Austria: molecular cuisine

Messer has extended its Gastronomy service to the supply of gases for “molecular cuisine”. At a cookery demonstration in the Gumpoldskirchen Technical Centre, celebrity chef Oliver Scheiblauer used these gases to conjure up some true culinary delights: these included ice-cold Kaiserschmarrn, Campari-Orange in solid, chilled form, which gradually releases its aroma inside your mouth, and “mango ice cream with chilli”.

Austria: hot and cold delicacies

Molecular cuisine is the technology transfer between cooking and biotechnology, allied to the chefs’ own creativity. With just a few ingredients, they can concoct a succulent array of astonishing culinary effects, in which the imagination knows no bounds: a frozen exterior surface with a temperature of minus 70°C, covering a rich warm filling of up to 20°C. Similar delicacies were also served up at the “Everything for the Guest” catering trade fair in Salzburg, where Messer teamed up with Austrian celebrity chefs to prepare culinary delights with liquid nitrogen before an astonished audience.
