Eli5: What’s so special about sous vide cooking that can’t be done via other cooking methods?
In: 3670
Water conducts heat really well.
Having a lot of water relative to food allows temperature to be really stable.
A sous vide machine slowly heats up the water and uses a thermostat to control the temp precisely.
Result is you can cook things up to a certain point without overcooking. Important for stuff like eggs and fish.
