Sous Vide At Home: The Modern Technique For Perfectly Cooked Meals

"Any chef worth her kosher salt will tell you that sous vide (or, cooking vacuum-sealed food in a water bath at a controlled temperature) is a miracle technique and easier than you think. Nowadays, there are a lot of different devices for achieving sous vide perfection (mine simply attaches to my slow cooker), but until you taste a skirt steak that has luxuriated in its own juices for hours before hitting a hot pan, you probably won’t understand what the fuss is about. Lisa Fetterman’s book makes the technique remarkably approachable with recipes that would be interesting and worthwhile even if sous vide didn’t make them easy enough to make in your sleep."
