Private jets remain a lavish symbol of luxury travel and often come equipped with specialized kitchen appliances to cater to passengers onboard.
Despite having all the necessary equipment at your disposal, cooking in this unique space comes with several challenges that private chefs must tackle in order to provide an enjoyable dining experience, even at soaring altitudes.
Often, Private chefs undergo specialized training to learn how to overcome the difficulties of jet kitchen cooking. Here are some of the major issues the Chef must deal with:
Altitude
The boiling points of liquids differ at higher altitudes, affecting cooking times and temperature control. The lower air pressure can also impact the efficiency of heat transfer, making it more challenging to achieve consistent and precise cooking results compared to sea level conditions.
Food tastes different at 40,000 feet
The combination of dryness and low pressure reduces the sensitivity of your taste buds to sweet and salty foods by around 30%, though sour, bitter and spicy flavors are almost unaffected. Proper seasoning is key to ensure food tastes good in the air, including adding salt.
Limited space and storage
A private jet typically has a small kitchen, so making space can be an issue. It’s rare to have full-size equipment such as refrigerators or ovens, which makes prepping, storing, cooking and plating meals an incredibly challenging task.
Timely preparation
Another major challenge in cooking on private jets is managing timing effectively, and fluctuations in weather must also be taken into consideration. Chefs must integrate expedient and prompt service regardless of turbulence or possible equipment or gear breakdown.
Lack of Specialty ingredients
Private jets often transport their guests long distances through numerous flight zones. Customs inspections can differ across borders, leading to specific fruits, vegetables, dairy products and meat being prohibited in certain regions. This can limit a Private Chef's options, particularly when creating bespoke menus depending on the clients’ optimal preferences.
Dealing with unusual requests
Private clients may disregard typical meal times or time zones while traveling, yet may also have stringent dietary restrictions. Perhaps they desire to experience cuisine from alternative cultures en route or have invited guests from a different location or international origin. The private jet chef is expected to constantly vary the menu and needs innovation and adaptability while not sacrificing taste or presentation details.
