Tools to help with sous vide cooking

  • A big sous vide bucket to hold the water “sous vide bath” that the food cooks inside.
  • Vacuum sealer and bags or plastic gallon bags to cook food. 
  • A sous vide machine like the Anova, Joule, Instant Pot Slim
  • A big sous vide bucket or stock pot to hold the water the food cooks in
  • Egg bites and desserts need small mason jars to cook in and the kind that does *not* curve (like this particular mason jar) – is my favorite because it makes it easier for the egg bites to pop out.
  • Metal tongs to take remove food from the sous vide bath.
  • For more sous vide inspiration, see the sous vide cookbook Jenna from Sip Bite Go

    I’m definitely a beginner at Sous Vide, I’ve never done it before but have seen many people that do. I should definitely try it out and see if the family likes it.

    If I ever get lucky enough to be able to do this type of cooking the first one I would have to get is the America’s Test Kitchen one. I am a huge fan of the show and already own one of their cookbooks. When looking for a new recipe, it is the one that I refer to most often.

    I have eaten recipes sous vide at restaurants, but never made myself, so I don’t know of any cookbooks until now! This technique it really great and I can say the results are pretty awesome, although I’m not sure I would be skilled enough to achieve the same results!

    I have not heard anything about sous vide cooking so this is very interesting. I am not sure I would be very good at it as I am not much of a planner and I think you would have to really think about meals ahead of time. It sounds like it would be delicious though.

    For those who were wondering, Sous Vide is a French term that means “under vacuum. ” Basically, it is the process of vacuum-sealing any food you wish in a bag, and cooking it to a very precise temperature in a water bath. The method cooks the food evenly while retaining the flavors. The cookbooks offer a variety of recipes to try.

Along the way, I moved to Portland, launched this blog, wrote a cookbook, and started a family.
