Way sus
Came without the bottom tray or instructions. Also has a bad chemical smell, hesitant to use. Will update if I decide to try it.

Good idea, but...
The video in the listing for this item shows something quite different from what arrives. The unboxing is accurate (except the one of the flanges on the syringe was broken on mine)-- the dropper and tubing, the syringe, and the spoon, and no instructions; the device they show being used is a different one altogether and is shown being used with a matching tray to hold the liquid being used for spherification. There is no tray in which to dip the device to draw up the liquid, so you'll need to find a container deep enough to allow you to submerge the 96 pipette tips but not so big as to require an enormous volume of liquid in order to do so. The device I received did not draw up very much liquid at all. I realize that you don't want huge amounts of liquid to be drawn up so that you may quickly and evenly drip out small rivulets of liquid (as opposed to streams of a huge volume) into the waiting lactate bath, but this really didn't draw up much beyond what capillary action would draw into the pipettes on its own. I tried using it with water before washing it before the first use just to see what to expect and even after disassembly and making very sure the silicone gasket was positioned correctly there was very little being drawn up.Using this is not really for beginners. You should have an understanding of the reaction involved in spherification and prepare for a lot of aggravation trying to get it right. Even using a device like this will require a lot of practice to get even "caviar." This one made it especially hard considering it didn't draw up much of anything and it was basically easier to dribble the liquid out of the syringe and into the waiting bath.I may sit down and play around with this some more, but after taking it apart and reassembling several times to make sure the seal seats properly I think it would be faster manually dripping the liquid (being a nurse for 25 years helps with syringe/plunger control!) than unscrewing and screwing back the eight little plastic/nylon screws holding the dropper together.

Beyond disappointing
As a food writer and enthusiastic home chef, I know about molecular gastronomy and am excited about learning molecular cooking. My former lab rat husband can appreciate what it takes to delve into this area of haute cuisine, and we enjoy watching shows about the world famous chefs who have made it an art form. So, I was looking forward to putting this spherification kit to use and expand my culinary skills.However, the kit arrived unsealed, dirty, had what looks like a burn spot on the inside edge of the tray, and there was a dead bug in the syringe (the blurry object). Disgusting! Moreover, the specification spoon looks like it had been scraped, as it’s rough, and there were NO instructions, even though there were supposed to be some included. Therefore, I will have to clean and sanitize this kit, and get out guides I already have, before I can offer a good demo. Seriously disappointing!Origin: Spain

Molecular gastronomy
Oh my gosh, this device helps me make “caviar” so much more quickly and consistent. It’s been so much fun to play with molecular gastronomy and having tools like this is awesome. It makes a time consuming task go so much faster and the results are much better. I think this is such a handy tool at a great price point. It’s nice and solid, super easy to clean and not so big that it’s hard to store. I love it!
