Because we saw something, I'm curious: do you know what sous vide means, without looking it up?

@relee yeah, a vacuum-sealed bag specifically, held at a very specific temperature in a water bath. the temperature for sous vide is usually *far* below normal cooking temperatures, and you cook it for far longer than most any other method of cooking. it doesn't brown the food, so unless you then brown it in a skillet or something afterward it might taste undercooked, but it's still fully cooked

@relee (meat cooked sous vide is usually quickly browned in a skillet) (restaurants sometimes use sous vide methods to mostly cook food well in advance, because it's vacuum sealed so it stays fresh for a long while, and the cook can just take out a single steak or whatever, quickly sear it to brown it and bring it up to temperature, then serve it significantly faster--and safer--than cooking a raw steak)

@relee (safer because the sous vide process already killed any pathogens so even if it's seemingly undercooked when served, it's unlikely to cause illness)
