I’ve written from time to time about using my Sous vide water oven for cooking and the great results I’ve achieved. If you’re interested, the manufacturer of the Sous Vide Supreme device which I use has refurbished machines, in a variety of colors, for $149. You’ll also need to get a vacuum sealer, which you can get for less than $100 on the Intertubes. So if you’re waiting for an opportunity to get your feet wet and your proteins super-tender, now might be a good time.
