SousVide Cooking

Bed, Bath and Beyond is currently touting the SousVide Supreme Demi Temperature Controlled Water Oven at a $299 price.

SousVide is a cooking system that many top restaurants have been using for years -- but never tell you about it. It helps them prepare perfectly cooked food ready for you shortly after you've ordered it.

I have done SousVide cooking at home, but it is not as easy as it would be with a device such as this.

I have written about the technique here and in other forums and there is much on the Internet which discusses it. This is the first I've seen at a lower price level for home use. I am highly interested.

This is 'walk away exact cooking' as you can never overcook anything, provided you have set the temperature correctly.

If you have a FoodSaver vacuum device at home you won't need their vacuum instrument.

You could buy it elsewhere for a limited time at the same price, but if you have a BBB 20% coupon you can get $60 off.
