nosuchuser asked about Sous Vide in a steam oven.

Really easy on our new Neff. Just vacuum bag your meat with any rubs/stuff then put in oven and select the Sous Vide setting from the menu..............

Cool you’ll love it.

Don’t make the mistake I did when buying a vacuum sealer as some do not like dealing with sauces/liquids - gets a tad messy!!

Think this one looks suitable but do the research.

Vacuum Packer is a godsend for storing and extending shelf life etc. Enjoy.

Can someone please explain this to me as I am obviously an idiot.

What's to stop me sealing some meat in a ziplock bag, sticking it in a hot pan of water for x minutes, and then frying it on a high heat to get the 'finish'.

Is that not basically suis vide is?

In basic terms yes. The technical bit is how hot is your water and for how many minutes?

The important bit of sous vide is keeping a very precise consistent temperature.

With Sous vide, you cannot go beyond the set temperature, your steak will never get hotter internally than your water. If you set your water for 50c, your steak will be rare, and 50c in the middle if in there long enough. Once it reaches 50c, it'll sit there at 50c.

A sous vide tool/machine makes controlling the water temp really easy. Doing it in a pan would be bloody hard to maintain a constant set temp.

It's used in a lot of restaurants because a steak (for example) can be held at 50c for a reasonable amount of time. So you can just pull one out of the water bath, colour it and serve it, knowing it's perfectly cooked in the middle.

There's a lot of things that are at their optimum when cooked to a certain temperature, even fruit and veg...it's an easy way to get them there without over or under cooking them.

I've used steak as an example, but we use it for all sorts for some dishes - veg, fruits, meats, some fish.

Thanks Tony, and cb, I'm starting to look at it as a challenge

Also there’s a lot of debate about health issues using ‘any old bag’ for cooking in.

Nisbets sell vac bag on a roll in a box with a cutter attached, very handy. 2 different widths.

The benefit of vacuum sealing (or getting as much air as possible out of your ziplock bag) is that there isn't an air gap between the bag and what ever you are cooking - so there's better heat transfer from the water into the meat.

Brisket and mustard pie.

Wow that looks incredible
