Hey hi hello! You may not know what sous vide cooking is, but I'm here to explain how it works, and why you'll love it.
The first step to sous vide cooking is to vacuum seal whatever it if you want to cook, be it veggies, meats, or even desserts.
Then, immerse that sealed meal in a pot of water, program the time and temp for your recipe on the sous vide cooker according to the recipe, clip it onto the pot, and you're good to go!
Sous vide cooking has manyyy benefits, including less dishes, healthier food, and perfectly cooked meats/meals every time. Can I get a hell yeah?
