In 2008 we bought a rotary evaporator for the kitchen. This is a device traditionally isolated to laboratories and is used to remove solvents from chemistry samples by evaporation. It was invented in 1957 by the Swiss company Buchi. We use it to perform a technique called cold distillation to achieve natural reductions that would be impossible to make any other way.
