From instant pot to take forever pot laugh123 I doubt it will take over from the instant pot. Personally I have never used the cook in a bag meal thing. The French cooking technique known as 'sous vide' has been used by professional chefs for decades ¡ª and a growing interest in the adapted version for home chefs has become one of the hottest selling gifts this holiday season. "Sales volume over the last year and now leading up to Christmas has at least double or tripled," said Kristina Lindae, store manager at Vancouver's Williams Sonoma. ¡öNext level sous-vide: Icelandic man cooks a lamb in a hot tub ¡öWill Canadian invention set a Black Friday record? 'Sous vide' (translation: under vacuum) is a French cooking method where food is vacuum sealed in plastic, immersed in circulating water and given a long, low-temperature bath. TV takes it mainstream Restaurants adopted the method because it was a foolproof way to lock in flavour and get consistent quality when cooking meat. Television cooking shows took it mainstream as professional and amateur chefs exposed it to the masses. But isn't sous vide just good, old-fashioned boil-in-a-bag? "In a manner of speaking, yes," said in-house chef Kristofer Bihis with The Gourmet Warehouse in Vancouver. He likened it more to 'simmer-in-a-bag' because the water temperature stays below the boiling point. "One of the best things about it is the flavour," he said. "You can infuse so many different flavours into meats, vegetables and even desserts, and meat never overcooks http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/british-columbia/sous-vide-popularized-1.4418086 |

I have a friend who loves all the latest kitchen gadgets. He's been pushing sous vide to me for a couple of years. Trouble is, he rarely cooks. |

No, I don’t. “There's a chance of bacteria growth because we are cooking at such a low temperatures, so there's always the possibility of food-borne illness." That would stop me right there. |

I thought we were suppose decrease the use of plastics in cooking (causes cancer??) Sounds messy and dangerous when it is time to take the hot food out of the bag. |
