Sous vide method

[ChristineL]

For those of you who make home cooked meals for your fur babies, has anyone tried the sous vide method? I’ve recently learned it’s a great way to gently cooked meat without denature / without losing nutrients in meat, if cooked between 40 and 54C degrees.

This would be great to use, maybe alternating with some lightly sautéed meats that are more raw in the middle.

Only problem with this method is that it often uses plastic for cooking the food.

Oh, great point, Dr. Jeff. I think that lightly cooking the outside in a pan if you are worried about bacteria is the best.

If I ate out more I would need to find out if the chefs did a lot of sous vide!

Yes, sous vide is quite commonly used by restaurants, special for meat dishes such as steaks and fish.
