摘要

蒸煮器是丹尼斯·帕潘在17世纪80年代发明的,是一种基本的高压锅,通过高压煮沸来软化坚硬的物体。在本文中,我建议重新评估帕平在消化器上的工作,认为他的研究位于化学实验室和烹饪实践的交叉点。然后,我研究了18世纪欧洲在瑞典、意大利和荷兰的消化器流通案例,以展示消化器被嵌入的不同实践,包括化学研究、为穷人提供食物的慈善项目,以及改进家庭烹饪的建议。消化器的历史是展示自然哲学研究与节约或“节俭”实践交织在一起的本质的关键章节。蒸煮器的所有用户都通过量化来实现其功能的合理化,这不仅是为了满足对精度的关注,也是为了展示该设备改革实际日常生活的潜力。蒸煮器可以节省时间和燃料,减少材料浪费,使烹饪更容易,并促进为有需要的人集体做饭。

Denis Papin's digester and its eighteenth-century European circulation.

The digester, invented by Denis Papin in the 1680s, was a rudimentary pressure cooker used to soften hard bodies by boiling them at high pressure. In this paper, I propose a reassessment of Papin's work on the digester, arguing that his research was located at the intersection of the chemical laboratory and cooking practice. I then examine cases from the eighteenth-century European circulation of the instrument in Sweden, Italy and the Netherlands in order to showcase the different practices in which the digester was embedded, including chemical research, philanthropic projects to feed the destitute, and proposals for the improvement of home cooking. The digester's history represents a key episode for demonstrating the intertwined nature of natural-philosophical research and the practice of economy or 'thrift'. All users of the digester engaged in a rationalization of its functions through quantification, not only to fulfil a concern for precision but also to display the device's potential to reform practical daily life. The digester could save time and fuel, reduce material waste, make cooking easier and foster collective meal preparation for the needy.
