buy such things?
I have only seen them in ethnic takeaways and restaurants, and mostly back in the 1970s.
Absolutely agree - I wouldn't part with money for one. Just interested in how they work, so that I can see if I can build one. At least it will be a DIY taste fail - I'm of the Readers Digest Manual and Alternative London school of DIY so taste is compromised anyway :-)

Excellent! Thanks for that - I'll have some fun playing around (already demonstrated it to myself using a folded piece of silk...), and hopefully the results won't be totally tasteless.
