I’m new to the SousVide Supreme world and I’m quickly falling head over heels in love with this method of cooking!  I recently cooked my first batch of fish….WOW!  I’m not going back to any conventional method for fresh halibut!  The fish melts in your mouth; the texture is delicately cooked through to perfection.  The SousVide Supreme will give you moist and gorgeous fish every time; no more over cooking or under cooking, just set the temperature to whatever you prefer, rare (116 F/47 C), medium rare (126 F/52 C) or medium (140 F/60 C) and set your timer for … Read More

It’s comfort food weather and nothing is more comforting than savory slow-cooked pork and apples. We recently ran across this recipe from the Salty Seattle blog that made our mouths water.

Rheum rhabarbarum and Rheum rhaponticum are the most common varieties of the Buckwheat family found in our kitchens. Beckoning the arrival of spring, this faux fruit appears in various colors ranging from spring green to ruby red.

US cultivation began during the early nineteenth century on the east coast and eventually spread west with the settlers, primarily grown in the northern states and southern Canada. When shopping for rhubarb choose bright, glossy, unblemished and firm stalks. Most rhubarb is sold without the leaves, however if you have … Read More

A Twitter reader queried us: How long would it take to soft cook a goose egg? Good question! As with all things sous-vide cooked, time to reach target temperature completely depends on the the distance the heat of the water bath has to cross to heat the food from edge to edge. With eggs, the critical measurement is its circumference at its ‘equator’ or widest point. That’s true regardless of type of egg from quail to ostrich! Douglas Baldwin–mathematical wizard that he is–has worked out the equations for we lesser mortals and presents the results nicely in his great book … Read More

With Passover approaching, we asked Israeli chef Yair Feinberg if he had a great sous vide recipe for the holiday. Not only did he share his special recipe for sous vide gefilte fish, but he also wrote a guest blog post to accompany it.

A popular holiday dish that is usually served as first course on Rosh HaShana, Pesach and Shabbath, ‘gefilte’ means stuffed.
