    I actually wonder if a lettuce spinner would work. Although, given the amount of time it needs to spin -- and aren't lettuce spinners manual? -- I'm not sure that would work. I'm not sure I would risk my clothes dryer on a recipe. But... it worked for Ann. That was brave.

    @obrien It's not a dryer, it's a washing machine. So if something spills, it can wash itself. But yeah, salad spinner might be very tough on your arm. A spin cycle is easily a 1000+ RPM, hard to get that with a hand crank.

    I was expecting a cameo from @Turnah81 making a custom insert for the drum there, but it might be a little simple for his taste. If you know the spin speed, you can convert from revolutions per minute to radians per second by multiplying by 2 PI and dividing by 60, which is almost the same as dividing by ten, square the result and multiply by the radius to get the inward acceleration. Divide that by 9.81 m/s² and press "inv" and "tan" to get the angle from vertical that you want your test tubes or jars to sit, then make wooden supports that hold them at the correct angle. If you make ten of them, each 36° of arc, you should be able to slot the last one into place to hold the others in a whole, stable ring. You could even have multiple levels and do twenty or thirty jars at a time. Just be sure to load the centrifuge evenly. You don't want an unbalanced drum wobbling around as it spins. Maybe 12 inserts, each 30°, would be better so you can symmetrically place 2, 3, 4, 6, 8 or 9 columns of jars.

    I'm not an Aussie. But I got a taste for vegemite when I was living in The Netherlands and found it randomly on a shelf in my local supermarket. I had heard the legend of the disgusting snack and decided to try it. Most people I know find it absolutely unbearable, but I actually like it. Today I don't live in the Netherlands anymore and it had been years since I've even seen a vegemite pot, but after seeing your video, I was reminded of the savory taste. So I decided to get some. I googled where I could find this snack until I found that there is an international shop in the city center of where I live so I went there to look for some. As soon as I told the salesman what I was looking for, his face made an expression of dismay. I am happy to say that I just got back from the store and made myself a piece of toast with butter and vegemite and I love it. It tastes better than I remember. But that's not all. My cat, who is always interested in what I'm eating came up to sniff the spoon I used. I let her do it, thinking that her sensitive nose would be offended by the smell, but I was wrong. She licked the spoon instead. Tentatively at first but then with gusto. I don't let my cat lick my utensils so I took the stuff away, wiped the vegemite remnants off the spoon with my finger and put it in her bowl. She licked it clean with a satisfied purr. This experience has made me wonder if more animals like the stuff. Due to the ammount of salt, I wouldn't give it to my pet regularly, but there's lots of animals in nature that like salt. What do you think?

    Growing up in the UK in the food rationed 50's the original Marmite was a favorite of mine. In my teens I spent almost a year in Melbourne and discovered Vegemite, which is so similar, maybe a bit less strong. I've lived in the US since the early 1980's and still have a taste and need for either version. My Niece in the UK occasionally sends me special Marmites like one made from Guinness yeast. My go to version now is Vegemite and in the squeezy bottle. To me they are all yummy. I haven't yet met an American who likes it - the couple I know who have tried it spread it on thickly like peanut butter and obviously it was too much for them. I really appreciate your scientific approach to this subject - keep up the good work.

It’s made from fermented sap of the coconut palm and salt. It is dark in colour and umami in flavour and a little bit sweet. They also market it as a soy sauce substitute. I would imagine it is made in a similar way by separating the solids from the ferment and concentrating the liquid fraction by boiling. Thanks for a really interesting analysis vid!

    When I was a kid and had a really bad case of gastro, our doctor told my um to make some pasta, it didn't matter if it was spaghetti, spirals, penne etc, but to put about 2 teaspoons of vegemite into the water it was cooked in. When it was finally cooked, he said to give me the drained pasta with nothing else on it, no oil, butter or sauce. The vegemite would give the pasta a little bit of flavour plus some of the nutrients, B group vitamins and so on would still be on the pasta and would help me get better. 40 years on I have used this with my own kids and it works a treat. The flavour is gentle on the tummy and seems to slow down or stop gastro's effects fairly quickly.

I never saw a jar again since I came back to South America. Great channel! 💪💪

    Living in the US, I didn't get to try Vegemite until my 40s (about 20 years back). I immediately loved it. My fav is to put a good schmeer on some wheat bread and top it with Havarti cheese (best Vegemite -cheese sammy combo I've yet tried). It's great stuff. Vastly superior IMO to Marmite as a condiment, though Marm, being thinner, is easier to use as an ingredient for stocks and the like.

    I'm from the UK where obviously marmite is the equivalent. As it turns out, I used to work in a food factory that made (among other things) marmite biscuits (cookie type biscuits). If you add the right amount to a butter short dough, you get a delicious, somewhat cheesy biscuit. Might be worth giving it a bash.

    I'm an American introduced to Vegemite later in my late 20s on a trip to Brisbane. I LOVE the stuff especially on toasted Japanese white bread with butter. In that example with Hugh Jackman, I actually use about 3x more than that...a blob about the size of a grape, but it took some time to work up to that amount. At first, it was a smear just barely visible on top of the butter. Yes, it's salty but that really yeasty flavor is what makes it awesome! I will report the rest of my family thinks it's vile.

    I used to work for CUB in the R and D laboratory many years back. We used to make yeast extract in the lab on a small scale. To make yeast extract, you heat the yeast up to 55deg C for about 15 minutes, I think the pH was also adjusted, might have been 5.5. The yeast will autolyse then you centrifuge the slurry to separate the yeast extract from the yeast cell walls. The yeast extract is then concentrated in a vacuum rotary evaporator. To make Vegemite, Kraft throws in about 10% salt and a certain amount of malt extract and they also throw in yeast cell wall material to the mix. The cell wall material contains alpha gluten and is really healthy, I believe they used to use it for wound healing. Hope that helps. BTW love your centrifuge, brilliant.

    The most common use case for vegemite in my household is actually as a umami/flavour booster for stews - the vegemite flavour really adds to the flavour profile but the actual taste gets extremely subtle and my wife and kids couldn't guess that it was in the stew until I told them. Beyond that it is usually just me having the occasional vegemite on toast or vegemite + tasty cheese on crackers that uses up all the vegemite.
