They say that the kitchen is the heart of a home, and that undoubtedly rings true for a superyacht galley. When yacht guests embark on a superyacht charter, they are guaranteed a few things; relaxation, beautiful destinations, and (of course) mindblowing food. It is vital to ensure that your guests are not only well-fed for their planned activities but also find themselves looking forward to whatever culinary masterpiece the superyacht chef whips up next.
However, planning and prepping a new menu every day can be a little challenging; ensuring you account for any dietary requirements and making sure that each mouthful makes your guest’s taste buds burst with flavour. This is why we have taken the time to pull together some of the best galley gadgets on the market. These are yacht kitchen supplies that will not only make your prep easier but also promise that luxury 5-star experience that your yacht guests have come to know and love. These galley supplies will cut down on prep time, allowing you to pull together some new and tantalising dishes for your guests.
Juicer
Nothing quite beats a lovely cold glass of freshly squeezed juice with your breakfast in the morning, and that alone should be enough to make you want to have one on board. However, there is so much more a juicer can be used for. A favourite of ours is using freshly squeezed juice as a base for cocktails and mocktails. Citrus juices like orange, lemon, and lime are essential ingredients in many cocktail recipes, and having juice adds a vibrant flavour to drinks. Likewise, fresh juice is often used in baking and desserts adding natural sweetness and flavour to desserts. Use them to make sorbets, granitas, fruit gelees, or fruit syrups to drizzle over cakes and pastries. However, if you’re looking for some savoury inspiration then juicers can be great for marinades, sauces, and salad dressings. For example, pineapple juice works well in marinades for grilling, while citrus juices can brighten up salad dressings and seafood sauces.
Thermo Mixer
Thermo mixers are the top dog when it comes to saving preparation time. Typically they feature a powerful motor and various attachments to perform tasks such as mixing, blending, chopping, grinding, cooking, and even heating food. Thermo mixers are designed to streamline food preparation processes by allowing users to perform multiple cooking tasks with one appliance, thus saving time and effort in the kitchen. Also offering precise temperature control, they allow you to cook food at specific temperatures for optimal results. Whether you’re tempering chocolate or caramelising onions, a thermo mixer will provide constantly tasty results.
Sous Vide Machine
Sous vide cooking has seen a huge boost in popularity with professional chefs in recent years, thanks to their consistent and high-quality results that require minimal effort. Sous vide involves cooking vacuum-sealed food in a water bath at precisely controlled temperatures. The sous vide machine, also known as an immersion circulator or sous vide cooker, heats and circulates the water to maintain a consistent temperature throughout the cooking process. This precise temperature control allows for evenly cooked food with desired textures and flavours. Due to the ingredients being vacuum sealed, a sous vide bath helps retain its natural juices, flavours, and nutrients. Meats cooked sous vide are often more tender, moist, and flavorful compared to traditional cooking methods. Sous vide cooking is not limited to meats and can be used for vegetables, eggs, desserts, and more; which allows this machine to assist you no matter if you are prepping breakfast, lunch, dinner, or dessert.
Compact Pizza Oven
Who doesn’t like fresh woodfired pizza on a warm evening? However, having a full-sized pizza oven on board isn’t the most practical. Fear not, companies such as Gosney have cleared the hurdles and graced us with their portable pizza oven – the Roccbox! Thanks to this technology, you can now offer your superyacht guests restaurant-grade woodfired pizza from the comfort of your top deck. Don’t be put off by thinking a pizza oven is a one-trick pony. Aside from perfect mouthwatering slices including your favourite toppings, pizza ovens are quite versatile. Often used for bread, you can lean into matching your menu with your location by exploring the different types of bread that the Mediterranean has to offer. If you’re looking for a light lunch then pizza ovens are great for roasting or grilling vegetables or cooking appetisers such as stuffed mushrooms, baked brie, and skewered meats. However, if you still need convincing then we encourage you to look into some dessert options. You can use a pizza oven to bake desserts like fruit cobblers, pies, tarts, and even cookies. The intense heat creates a beautifully caramelised crust.
