Carameliser

Carameliser is a line of electrically powered kitchen appliances developed by the French cookware manufacturer Aroma Technologies. The product is designed to continuously caramelise fruits, vegetables and meats by applying a gentle, steady heat while gently stirring the contents. It was first introduced in 2016 and has since become popular among professional chefs and serious home cooks for its ability to produce uniform caramelisation without the need for constant supervision.

The appliance comprises a handheld wand fitted with a stainless‑steel cooling coils that lower the temperature of the food surface, allowing complex Maillard reactions to occur while the food is stirred by an integrated magnetic stirrer. Users can set the temperature and time from an electronic display, and the device is calibrated to produce a range of caramelisation levels from lightly golden to deep brown. Many users report that the device allows fruits such as pears and apples to be caramelised with minimal loss of moisture, preserving flavor and texture.

Carameliser has received attention for its safety features: the wand is electrically insulated, and the heating element incorporates a ceramic ceramic heating element that is protected by a plastic housing. The manufacturer claims that the appliance has undergone rigorous fire‑safety tests and is compliant with the European Union’s Low Voltage Directive (LVD) and the UK’s Electrical Equipment Safety regulations.

Critics have noted that the cost of the appliance is relatively high compared to traditional stovetop methods, and that the device is bulky. However, proponents argue that its convenience and consistency justify its price point. The product has won several cooking awards, including the 2018 Artisan Food Award for Kitchen Innovation.
