what cha eating today, VSGers? - Thursday
I cook it sous vide, which is a French style of cooking where the food is sealed in a vacuum-sealed plastic bag, and then submerged in a low temp water bath (140 degrees) for a long time. It causes the food to cook without losing its moisture or texture due to getting too hot. Then you'd seer it to give it the right texture on the outside. I like it for the salmon because it comes out very soft and moist which appeals to me. I also often cook my chicken sous vide, and then use it in other recipes.
The sous vide equipment is expensive, and I wouldn't have purchased it, but my hubby get the idea from a friend who was a gourmet chef and he got it. Its good, but I don't know if I'd replace it if it broke.... not worth the money to me. But I'm glad to have it now.
best wishes,
Carol
