Sous Vide Comes to QVC

CLEM — Tue, 26 Dec 2017 13:55:31 GMT

I saw Meredith demonstrating a Cooks Essentials sous vide stick this morning on their Christmas show. There are a few other sous vide items on their web page. Later this January there is a Cooks Essentials TSV and I wonder if it will be a sous vide item/package.

Sous Vides are everywhere now and they are a great thing to have!

I really like my Sous Vide. A whole new way of cooking, and, making the BEST creme brulee ever!! Hope Meredith writes a book for sous vide.

I consider myself to be pretty sufficient in the kitchen, and have always been a kitchen appliance junkie, but I have to admit that I've never heard of this type of cooking. I look forward to watching a presentation or two to learn about this.

Thanks for the heads up. 😊

I would be hesitant to trust a Cooks Essentials Sous Vide stick to maintain a safe temperature all through the long cooking process. Good for them if they can pull it off at a lower price but I'd be using a thermometer off and on as a back-up safety check.

My sister in California explained sous vide to me on my last visit to her house. She is a good cook. I just thought the sous vide was a lot of unnecessry preparation and work. The food really didn't taste any different from standard food prep routines.

@maximillian It's the same prep work but I have never had better potatoes, fish, and meat. I had to return mine, but want one because I have to eat more fish and am not good cooking it any other way.

Interesting. I also, don't know if I'd trust a Cook's Essentials "stick", as it is a long cooking process, and I don't want food poisening ... but this is interesting.

@CLEM

Yes. It wii be TSV on ITKWD this month.

HSN has one made by Curtis Sone. It’s a good one.

FWIW, I Sou Vide steaks, chops, ribs, chicken, lamb, and fish all the time. Protein come out perfect.

I Sou Vide a prime rib of beef for New Year’s, and the beef was so tender and cooked to perfection. I finished it off tableside, in front of my guests, with a blow torch to get the outer crust crispy.

Goodluck and enjoy.

You will not get food poisoning unless you keep your protein in the water bath more than 96 hours.

I will probably get one like this; not necessarily this one though. Since I need a container anyway (my pots don't have straight sides). I have tried one and loved it, but returned because I didn't like the non-stick coating.

I had never heard of Sous Vide before so I looked it up. Why would you want your food cooked in plastic? It does not seem like a healthy way of cooking. It does not seem safe. I stopped using plastic containers in the microwave years ago. Any food I put in the fridge or freezer, I put in glass pyrex containers. I got rid of all my Tupperware and other plastic containers.

I got rid of BPA products years ago.

Sous Vide has been used commercially for years. Do you go to high end restaurants? That’s where it is used a lot. Especially for protein. Poultry, steaks, chops, and fish. The protein is cooked to perfection. Always.

Sous Vide is not for those kind of people who don’t care or don’t have time about what they eat..

Sous Vide is probably not for you.

True, it would not be for me since I eat a vegan diet.
