[gwho]

this should be in the hall of fame of concise explanations

Chef Steps started my education in sous vide, now I cook with my circulator almost every day. It's one of those techniques/pieces of equipment where you don't know why you would ever need it until you try it, and once you've tried it, you don't know how you ever went without it.

I like that. Such a simple concise explanation!

[averyjoycelynbarakudablock]

Terrific! I get a complete explanation in just a few moments. How often does that happen. ThankYOU ~

[Pbro]

Sounds healthier than frying.Thank you Ill try it.

[PotionsMaster]

I love this technique I use it all the time. Except I can't afford a machine so I do it in the stove and monitor the water temperature with a thermometer.

"Sous vide" is indeed a cooking technique, but not just cooking under water,  as you first have to vacume and seal the bag before cooking...
In French, "sous vide" means vacumed, with no air (literally "under empty").

Though a older process I'm sure, in the 80's, This is how some companies used to pack their vegetables, in plastic that you would have to place in boiling water until cooked. However it didn't take three and four hours for food.

[Pailin]

Been here since your gaggle roaster video, so proud that I've been able to watch this channel grow! I placed my order for Joule last week, but I'll only get it when my aunt visits me in Thailand in the summer. HYPE HYPE! After dreaming about having my own sou vide for the longest time, it is finally time <3

Sous Vide is a french phrase for saying ‘under vacuum’. In English this phrase is however used to refer to the cooking technique described in this video.

You guys make me wish I paid attention in chemistry more.

[sendercorp]

Beautiful video, well done and thank you kindly.

A friend uses his dish washer to cook salmon sealed in plastic, no soap though. Not sure if it’s the same principle but the results are always on point.

Have you experimented much with Kangaroo? It is normally a fairly tricky meat that you have to cook fast to get it right, with Sous Vide its amazing.

[geebeedee]

I was so intrigued to know how to do this because i recently watched Epic Rap Battles of History,
And it looks so easy and sounds easy but this is really hard to do.

[AlexSDU]

Now I'm curious how do you fried chicken using this method?

[ClintGalac]

Can you guys do a jerky video?? Theres a bunch of recipes online and I am curious how different ratios of certain ingredients can affect the outcome of jerky. Great videos keep it up!!
