    When you’re starting to cook 24-48 hour recipes, like this one for sous vide short ribs, you don’t want to leave anything up to chance. You don’t want to go through all the trouble of waiting one or two days for a delicious meal, only to find out the meat is lacking flavor.

    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

      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.

      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.

      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!

      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.

    Hey, I’m Jenna Passaro.

    I develop easy recipes that can transform your kitchen into a restaurant – and you into a true home chef.

      

    Where to start?

    Learn the secrets to smoking tasty Traeger recipes and making pizza at home. And cook amazing tri tip steak dinners.

    Or, fall in love with something new to cook with your air fryer, pellet smoker, BBQ grill, sous vide cooker, and more…

    You’ll notice, I kind of geek out over new cooking trends and tools!

    My story. Growing up, I didn’t learn to cook.

    (I was actually banned from cooking for years)

    And then in my 20’s I didn’t have to cook because my job as an event planner involved a lot of travel and it was easier to eat out. At the time, I was 100% positive that restaurant food would always taste better than cooking at home, and there was nothing I could do about it.

    Until I fell in love with a chef. He would come over and cook me delicious meals right in my own kitchen. My mind was blown.

    Since then, I’ve been on a mission to figure out easy ways to make restaurant style food at home and share it here on Sip Bite Go.

    Love to eat out and travel? I can totally relate. See my guide on where to eat in Portland, OR.

    Never in a million years did I imagine I’d ditch the 9-5 lifestyle in my late 20’s, move across the country on a whim, start a new life, start a food blog, and write a book.

    But here I am!
