An example of a homemade Antigriddle

After posting about the PolyScience Antigriddle a few weeks ago, I came across a YouTube channel called “Procrastination Pictures,” with videos demonstrating various avant-garde culinary techniques. In particular, there are videos demonstrating a homemade version of an Antigriddle using a regular cast iron griddle chilled in liquid nitrogen, which boils at -196° Celsius. From what I can see in the video, their results are pretty similar to what you get with the commercial Antigriddle (though the commercial unit is, of course, a lot more convenient). I guess it’s a good option if you don’t have the budget for the PolyScience version, but do have access to large quantities of super-cold compressed gas!

Head on over to their channel at YouTube to check out part 2 of their homemade Antigriddle experiments, and some of their other videos, too.
