A $200 Ninja CREAMi vs. a $6,500 Pacojet: The Engineering Breakdown You Didn't Expect

Chris Young, a Modernist Cuisine alum, does a deep-dive engineering comparison between the professional-grade Pacojet and the Ninja CREAMi home machine. He breaks down motor design, blade mechanics, ice crystal science, and real-world performance to answer whether the $200 machine is a legitimate alternative. Spoiler: for home cooks, he thinks it's a screaming deal.
