Are you considering getting a SV or already using one?Extra Virgin Chefhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10448634364036403961noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8751944066307081281.post-28213494840085752422013-01-02T23:55:34.811+08:002013-01-02T23:55:34.811+08:00Hi, which vacuum sealer do you use?Hi, which vacuum sealer do you use?Đirestraitshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06176340056499424479noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8751944066307081281.post-29037805410789644242012-09-05T10:51:43.290+08:002012-09-05T10:51:43.290+08:00Hi Eva and Todd, no, you can use SV for vegetables...Hi Eva and Todd, no, you can use SV for vegetables and they retain most of the nutrients in the vacuum seal, so you're getting all the goodness! I've tried carrots, zuchini, and recently, I SV eggs! It's amazing how evenly cooked the egg whites are. At 65 degrees Celsius, the whites coagulate evenly and cook through very well. You are greeted with beautiful eggs when you SV them. Only problem is you need 45 minutes to do it, and you take only 45 seconds to gobble them all up!!Extra Virgin Chefhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10448634364036403961noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8751944066307081281.post-65545778566150518412012-09-04T23:23:13.883+08:002012-09-04T23:23:13.883+08:00Is SV oven mostly used for meat?

It's bundled with some free gifts and rebates so the actual price is less than that. Also, it's the Great Singapore Sale this month so you get more discounts. There is a smaller version called Sous Vide Demi, with lesser capacity and that one is probably in the region of $500+. Do check it out at TOTTS.Extra Virgin Chefhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10448634364036403961noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8751944066307081281.post-4900595290239170012012-06-15T20:54:53.134+08:002012-06-15T20:54:53.134+08:00Hi!

I use a normal vacuum sealer, a separate unit, which can be used not only for sous vide but also to keep all your other food items at home fresh. You can buy stuff from the wet market and then seal them at home to keep fresher, longer. Or you can seal stuff when you travel as well. <br /><br />I will share all the food I'm SV-ing, so do look out for them!Extra Virgin Chefhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10448634364036403961noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8751944066307081281.post-29632337207202425582012-06-13T08:49:33.969+08:002012-06-13T08:49:33.969+08:00Hey, that's interesting.
