It gets great reviews and I have been thinking about it, but since I am the master of fast cooking, I question whether I would have the patience to actually use it enough to make it worthwhile. I'd love to rent one for a culinary weekend to see if I like it. |

My recipe for chicken with leeks and cream calls for putting chicken pieces into a kettle of hot water and letting it sit for hours. The chicken is wonderful. |

Darn you, George, you got me interested in this sous vide stuff again. Now I have to try it. Ziploc sells a pretty good cheap vacuum sealing system with bags and a pump that I use for freezing food. It is intended for sous vide. I think I will see what my crock pot does in terms of temperature. If that doesn't work I'll try a pot and a meat thermometer. May even try it tonight. |

The hell you say. That system is really cheap. What, $4 for the pump? Does it work as advertised? I had a vacuum sealer |

Yeah, it does. Really well. (Of course I would say that - my beloved sells them..) |

What are the details of the sytem? M&M's and I were researching a couple of the vacuum sealing systems. We were considering this, but the reviews weren't great: http://reviews.costco.com/2070/11300615/foodsaver-foodsaver-vacuum-sealing-system-w-smartseal-technology-reviews/reviews.htm |

I don't want another big gadget taking up space on my counter, and we don't buy in bulk, so a device I can throw in a drawer with bags I can put up in a cabinet seems like a good solution. I ordered one today (it was only about $5 at Amazon, plus another $10 or so for bags). Once it arrives, I'll report. |

Does nothing for me. Don't like the idea of cooking meat in plastic bags. Silly fussy nonsense, imo. |

I'm going to try it, but it seems fussy to me too. We'll see. |

What we're gonna do right here is go back, way back, back into time. When the only people that existed were troglodytes...cave men... cave women...Neanderthal...troglodytes. |
