Vacuum Compression - no chamber vac

So...for those of us without the mighty chamber vac....what have you got using Dave Arnold's new technique for compression?

See: http://www.cookingissues.com/2013/08/03/new-technique-pressure-pickle-and-the-cucumber-martini/

Here is are my compressed watermelon balls spiked with lovage.........just playing right now, but these were nice! Also quick pickled cukes and zucchini with excellent results.

Cool!

I don't know how I missed this thread.

Have you done much with the method recently?

For those of you interested in this technique you should definitely check out the upcoming siphon class.

Nothing recently, but have had good success with the watermelon, cucumbers, zucchini, pineapple....i think the season (NE USA) has taken my mind off the technique. I'll get back to it.

@Brendan - I'm really excited about the new course! I've got to get more use from my siphon. I just got Jason Logsdon's new book and have been flipping through that as well.
