Home Sous Vide Machine: A review

Sous vide cooking has been all the rage in many restaurants for years now, praised for the method's virtual inability to overcook foods and for its grand success in turning even the toughest cuts of meat into fork-tender morsels. In this article, Serious Eats' J. Kenji Lopez-Alt presents one month's experience using the new home version of the SousVide Supreme ($449) - with overall good results! This unit does NOT come with a vacuum sealer, which was cited as a negative in the review, but seems to have provided good performance.


From the Sous Vide Supreme website:
"The SousVide Supreme™ is the world’s first water oven designed specifically to bring the gourmet sous vide cooking method into home kitchens. Sous vide cooking involves vacuum-sealing food in airtight pouches, then submerging it in a water bath at precisely controlled temperatures, often much lower than those used in traditional ovens, but for a longer time. The result is perfectly cooked foods with enhanced flavors and nutritional benefits.

The SousVide Supreme is a sleek all-in-one solution. Simply set the temperature, and let the SousVide Supreme do the rest, controlling the water temperature to within one degree Fahrenheit – the key to sous vide success. The SousVide Supreme is similar in size to a bread maker, and meals are cooked with it in a few simple steps..
