    I’ve never been much of a cook. I mean, in decades of adult life I can probably count on one hand my successful attempts. But, a couple months ago I bought a sous vide machine and what a freaking eye opener. I have some steaks going as I type this. I know that they are going to be perfectly done. Your picture looks yummy. I really need to start working on the side dishes instead of just going straight meat like a barbarian.

      Thank you! Sous vide is FANTASTIC for veggies, too. Sous vide carrots with butter, spices, a little brown sugar and honey and oh my.

      I hope you start getting into it more now that you’re starting to notice how rewarding it can be! When it comes to cooking: it’s all the little details that count.

        Oh. Damn. I didn’t even know you could do veggies. I mean, I hadn’t really thought about it. I’ve done beef, chicken, and pork. That’s it. I need to crack open a sous vide cooking website and really take a look at it. Such a fool proof way of cooking.

          I’ve done shrimp, sausages, and octopus with mine. The best part is how forgiving it is. Because it’s so slow, you can usually adjust it if you change your mind about something, and you can forget it for a while and not overcook/burn your food.

            Unironically /r/sousvide is one the subs I’ll miss, but not enough to go back. 137 gang for life. Looks delicious!
