Steam Griddles

[Shalmanese]

At a talk that nathanm presented at UW, he mentioned a curious device called a steam griddle which I've never heard of before. They sound curiously effective. They claim a response rate of 2 or 3 seconds so you can put cold food on it and it will almost immediately come up to temp. Additionally, they seem to provide completely even heat.

Has anyone had experience with one? What are the pros & cons?

Bizarre Foods on the Travel channel went to a restaurant in Iceland where all the kitchen equipment is run by steam...but none of the links are working quite right.

With the vaccum chamber they mention the temp of the steam could be pretty damn high, depending on how long it initially takes to come to temp it looks interesting.

With a "vacuum chamber" the temperature of the steam will be lower, not higher. That's why high-pressure steam is so much more effective at cleaning, driving turbines, etc.
