   “The best value for money in cooking equipment, in my mind, is first a digital scale and digital thermometer. They’re both about $20. They help you cook so much more accurately1 that they’re both enormously valuable.”

  Nathan Myhrvold is the former chief technology officer at Microsoft and co-founder of Intellectual Ventures. He’s also the co-author of the six-volume 2011 Modernist Cuisine2 and the 2012 single volume Modernist Cuisine At Home. I caught up with him after a cooking talk he gave at the recent meeting of the American Association for the Advancement3 of Science in Boston and asked him about the simplest things people can do to cook better at home.
  “A blowtorch is a wonderful thing. You can get one of those for about 25 bucks4 at Home Depot5. And there’s a ton of things that you can use a blowtorch for, in browning a steak or touching6 up the browning of a chicken or making crème ***.
  “The next thing I’d get is a pressure cooker. Pressure cookers are relatively7 inexpensive, they’re in every kitchen store, your grandma probably had one, but a lot of people don’t. A pressure cooker is interesting because by pressurizing the vessel8, you’re able to cook much hotter than the boiling point of water, and still have water be present. And so that let’s you do a lot of cooking tasks easier and faster. So we love a pressure cooker for making stock, for making vegetable soups and so forth9.”
  You can hear parts of Myhrvold’s lecture and the full interview on an upcoming episode of the Science Talk podcast.
