Has anyone attempted to use a vacuum chamber to dry the surface of meat in order to enhance the mailliard reaction? If so what equipment could a chef use, and would it be successful in getting a dryer surface than other quicker and easier methods? Would it be worth the trouble?

Hi CJM,

I haven't done this with meat, but I have done this with the ultrasonic fries before. You might also be interested in vacuum-dessicating. Vacuum dessication is something they did at the Fat Duck. There's a section about it on pages 4·433-437 of MC.
