    Sous vide is not a very difficult thing to do [unfortunately Thomas Keller
    didn’t made this understandable] – nor you need very expensive kitchen
    equipment. Sous vide is absolutely the cooking technique of the future and
    will have a greater impact as the microwave [Heston Blumenthal]. It is just
    very clever and it eliminates the guessing, which temperature your meet is
    cooked. There are already cheaper appliances, which makes it possible in
    the home kitchen [as well as “hacks”.

    sous vide on the stove stop is never consistent imo. Besides i dont think i
    can monitor the temperature every minute

    @An33t Apart from the hair, the eyes, the mouth, the face, the body, the
    hands… … yeah.

    @bigVC25 I could be wrong, but something tells me you haven’t worked in a
    professional kitchen, or ever used sous vide as a technique in cooking. The
    technique is not as old as vacuum sealing perishables, and
    thermocirculators were originally used to keep consistent temperatures in
    lab experiments, but who says you can’t implement technology in to the
    kitchen? If that were the case we’d all still only be cooking over a camp
    fire.

    @charliewheeler21 He cooked it sous vide and then seared the Lamb. Cooking
    the meat in the package doesn’t create a sear so that is why he finishes
    the meat in the pan.

    @iwutlaoha I agree with your statement, however, you didn’t include that
    sous-vide was, in fact developed as a cooking technique (many chefs
    originally stored their meats and some legumes under vacuum seal until
    someone got lazy and creative all at once) in the mid-to-late 70s. After
    that, it gained popularity with many chefs around the world, hence the
    reason for its being promoted on television back thirty years or so ago.
    How old is that cooking advert btw?

    @bigVC25 Isn’t used in France? That is where the technique was developed.
    The French have been cooking sous vide for over 35 years.

    @bigVC25 Yeah i’m stupid. And yes, attempting to insult people gives me
    tremendous satisfaction. Yet, i’m still not the one babbling shit about
    things he clearly has no idea about.

    @tedsword — there are most likely people there who are very into food who
    do not understand the method behind some of the preparations. not everyone
    at the classic is a cook.

    I think the advantages of Sous Vide didn’t really came out; unfortunately.
    Maybe the pan was not hot enough to sear the meat faster and without making
    it so well done around the medium rare core.

    just put it in a hot tub , and you can be right there with it…

    Sous vide is a good way of cooking as it seals in the flavour and gives it
    a different texture.
    Good cooking tips from Thomas Keller

    We have become sous vide fans. So much so that we developed our own low end
    cooker that gets married to a rice cooker
