Probably a stupid question, but will we ever have something like a microwave to make things cold? Is there a reason this can't exist? (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

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

[-] driving_crooner@lemmy.eco.br 22 points 1 year ago

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.

[-] Jagermo@feddit.de 1 points 1 year ago

I did but I really want the pacojet :)

[-] idkwhatimdoing@sh.itjust.works 5 points 1 year ago

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

[-] TheGiantKorean@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

Oh. That's concerning. 😕

[-] FooBarrington@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago

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

[-] Triple_B@lemmy.zip 4 points 1 year ago

Weird, I JUST watched that movie.

[-] Pregnenolone@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago

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

[-] the_post_of_tom_joad@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 year ago

I think you mean pacotizing®

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

[-] Jagermo@feddit.de 1 points 1 year ago

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

Basically like a blast furnace right?
