The New York Times takes a look at the SousVide Supreme
december 2009 by jimray
A $500 temperature control system for the low temperature water bath cooking that's all the rage. This strikes me as the prosumer version of sous vide, between the DIY methods people have cobbled together and the $2000 systems you'll find in a professional kitchen
