Cooking my food in plastic under high heat. No way. Plastic chemical residue in the food. I'm a scientist and I would never do this....

The Ninja Foodi I purchased at HSN ( QVC sells it also) Has a setting for this. I have not tried this setting and not prone to . I do use about every other setting and it is good to know it is there if I choose. By the way I love this purchase --much easier than any other pressure cooker I have owned .

I bought the 6.5 qt. for just the 2 of us.

Completely and totally agree.

Sous Vide is cooked under a low temperature.

No, just the opposite.

It's a low temperature for a longer time.

Thank again for this. I've been reading about the process, the results, and looking through Sous Vide cookbooks. I'm intrigued!!

Any temp high enough to cook food, is enough to chemically breakdown plastic...

I think it's safer to use an Instant pot or other brand of pressure cooker. The sous vide doesn't cook at a high enough temp to kill bacteria in my opinion.

I think you are misinformed aboutthe principles of cooking  sousvide- pasteurization DOS occur at relatively low temperature, at a longer period of time as opposed to cooking with convection (normal heat) 

The results can be incredible- shrimp, chicken, salmon,  eggs. pork belly, filet -even an eye of round that slice up more tender than  a chateaubriand-  Brisket, Tri Tip- i could go on and on

I am hooked- if you want more info- o(or just to be entertained) go to You Tube and watch some of the videos from Guga on  "Sous Vide Everything" ...

I'm not sure if this is the same concept, but it sounds like it.  I belonged to a meal delivery service where everything arrived in vacuum sealed bags that you heated up in boiling water.  The food always took at least twice as long as the instructions gave to heat the food up, and most of the time I ended up opening the bags and simply reheating the food in the microwave.  The sous vide concept was lost on me.

no,that is not what Sous Vide is- not even close-  you would never use boiling water for sous vide- In fact,  it is the opposite of that...
