That is not correct. Some are OK to heat, some are not. Just look on the box.

Additionally, these are being heated to only 170 F surrounded by water (as opposed to dry heat). The bags suffer no damage, nor do any "chemicals" leak into food or anything like that. Millions of food items are transported, heated, cooked, and eaten from this method daily... just think of Kraft!

some one tell me how to get grant to come to my house and give me lessons on cooking

[Zephilindrum]

What you do is you make a standing reservation every Wednesday in Grant's restaurant before he skyrockets to stardom, and then become business partners with him, and eventually help him get through Stage IV Squamous Cell Carcinoma. That's how you get him to come to your house and give you cooking lessons.

That or just be really nice to the guy.

Also,  how much would the time of cooking change for a larger turkey. I need to feed about 15-20 people.

Hey Nick, I signed up on alinea-mosaic. Thanks for the recipe!

One question: how big was the turkey in this video? And how many people would it serve?

Thanks!

As of now he says he's cancer free now!

He was diagnosed with tongue cancer. Crazy for a chef. The Cooking community took a huge blow when they heard this ..it was big news. But through some heavy treatment, he is cancer free!

I think it was tongue cancer or throat. Something in which doctors thought he won't be able to taste anymore.

Achatz is so awesome. Dude is Mr. smooth in the kitchen lol

[SethHesio]

Right..

You guys can have Chef Achatz come to your house too... just go travel back in time and back him $500,000 in the creation of his dream (but unknown) restaurant, then stand by him as a friend as he battles cancer, and then one holiday you can ask him to come cook for yall family :)

Yeah I read about that, he holds Thomas Keller in great esteem, as he should. I just love Grant Achatz's philosophy and attitude to food. He's mild mannered, considered and seems like he has all the time in the world to discuss any aspect of a piece of food. Reminds me a lot of a young Marco Pierre White, but... you know... Grant's not crazy lol.
