All you need is a plastic bag

fish in a bag for cooking sous-videI'm always up for experimenting in the kitchen, and one of techniques that interests me most is Sous-vide, a cooking method in which ingredients are placed in a plastic bag and cooked in water at controlled temperatures. Recently, Wired Magazine published a short article about it that has only furthered my intrigue. The article features former Microsoft Chief Technical Officer Nathan Myhrvold, who has become the Sous-vide expert within the online culinary community eGullet. Myhrvold gives some tips for Sous-vide cooking, and hints that he may release a book about it "someday."

The article inspired me to seek out other Sous-vide resources on the web. I found this Sous-vide blog, and this thread on Cooks Illustrated. If anyone has any experience or tips for cooking this way, please please share!

Tip of the Day

Plain sugar-coated glass rims are so last century. Add excitement to your glass rims with interesting colors and flavors!
