Bizarre.<\/i><\/p>\n

Leave it to America to use an insanely complex technology to produce something simple.<\/p>\n

No, this time it’s not the idiotic Tesla which depends on coal powered electricity for a recharge while preaching global cleanliness.<\/p>\n

It’s C<\/b>RYO C<\/b>REAM! <\/p>\n

Forget about stirring cream in a bucket to make ice cream the way Brunnhilde and thousands of earlier generations managed to do it. Instead, infuse liquid nitrogen into a (sort of) sealed vessel with your vanilla mixture at some 300F below freezing and after much labor you get ice cream.<\/p>\n

The snag is that the process is highly labor intensive, needs fancy machines which look very failure prone to my eye (look at the heating\/cooling cycle applied to those connecting pipes) and a business model which cannot possibly survive given low production volumes in a high rent area of the Bay Area peninsula.<\/p>\n

I can see the headline. “15 customers die in liquid nitrogen explosion in Burlingame, CA.” .<\/p>\n

And a fickle consumer focused on the latest in ‘Artisan’ this and ‘Artisan’ that. You know, the folks who pay $20 for a quarter pound of English cheddar. Pure BS, in other words.<\/p>\n

Still, it’s mightily impressive to watch and this is the result. The pretty girl doesn’t hurt, either.<\/p>\n

My son Winston loved the ice cream, by the way. As he should, at the price asked.<\/p>\n

Too bad Cryo Cream will be out of business three months’ hence.<\/p>\n
