A very popular cooking technique that Bryan and I use all the time, and that is popping up all over cooking shows, is sous vide. Some people might not be that familiar with the technique so that is the theme of this week's cooking video.

I wanted to clear up some of the confusion about what exactly is sous vide and also show you how you can use it at home. It is a great and simple technique that is perfect for vegetables and meats. If you use it for vegetables, there is a lot more flexibility as cooking temperature does not have to be precise. If you use it for meat, you will want to use a thermometer or at least make sure you have cooked your food properly, especially chicken which needs to be cooked through all the way.

Enjoy the video and let us know if you have any questions.

  • what....the...... heck?

    i expected a sous vide video instead i got a microwave vegetables video

  • @FIREBIRD69AU: No. Microwave energy heats by wiggling water molecules in the food. It doesn't "kill off all the vitamins and nutrients." Search for "microwave nutrients" and read some of the credible resources such as Harvard Med School.

    The vacuum bags and ziploc bags have no BPA.

  • sous vide my ass!

  • @FIREBIRD69AU You don't know anything about radiation. You've probably never taken a single calculus based physics course in your life.

  • Why is the model used In this video no longer available?

  • @FIREBIRD69AU radiation? come again?

  • Microwaving kills off all the vitamins and nutrients because the radiation changes the chemical/molecular structure of the food, also under extreme temps the BPA (Bisphenol-A) and other possible carcinogenic chemicals can leech out of the plastic bag and penetrate into the food , i know it's a very convenient,lazy,quick & easy cooking method but very dangerous unless the cryovac vacuum cooking bags are certified/rated as "food safe".Buy a PRESSURE COOKER instead,it's safer & proven successful !
