Some folks expressed interest in sous vide. The Sansaire Circulator is now availabe at Sur La Table online with free shipping. Will be in stores soon. I am loving mine.
I sous vided some pears and some carrots that were almost ready to be discarded. I did 3 pears in 2 bags and the baby carrots in one bag. They were delicious. The pears tasted like really good apple pie filling (I used cinnamon, cardamom and nutmeg, etc. )and the carrots were nicely flavored from the Cumin and the sprig of cumin, etc., cooked but still al dente, not mushy.
We liked the carrots so much, I am doing them again for our anniversary Sunday (20th) I am putting the carrots and green beans (separate bags) in first, then will put in the sirloin steaks so they'll be ready at the same time. The veggies can stay in the water bath when I bring the temp down for the steaks and they will not overcook.
