Sometimes you find something new at Target and it’s just so cool, you have to talk about it. I recently acquired the Anova Precision Cooker Mini Sous Vide Immersion Circulator (a mouthful, I know) and I’m in love with it! The world of sous vide cooking is rather new to me, but I am not exaggerating when I say that it’s changed how I feel about cooking. While I’ve always loved playing around with new recipes, I’ve never been very confident when it comes to more ambitious dishes, but with this device, it’s easier than ever to get perfect results – Every. Single. Time.
What is Sous Vide Cooking?
Sous Vide is a French cooking technique that’s used in high-end restaurants all over the world! Foods are vacuum-sealed and cooked in precisely controlled temperatures under a water bath. Sous vide cooking is almost completely hands-free; just season, seal, and submerge. Instead of focusing on getting the timing just right, sous vide is all about precise temperature control. (Which is completely handled by the Anova Mini Sous Vide!)
Cooking this way usually requires large, expensive equipment, but with this device, it’s way less complicated – and way less expensive! All you have to do is attach the device to your basin of water, set your desired temperature and cook time in the app, and you’re good to go! The device will circulate the water in and out of itself, maintaining the perfect temperature for cooking, so it’s almost impossible to undercook or overcook your food.
What You Can Cook Sous Vide
This technique is most commonly used for proteins like steak and chicken, but you can also poach potatoes, eggs, and other veggies! If you’re looking for more inspiration on what to cook, check out Anova’s Sous Vide Recipe Resource. You can find everything from Bacon & Gruyere Bites to the perfect Ribeye Steak. For my first time, I tested out a Creme Brulee recipe. I have always loved Creme Brulee, but getting the timing and texture just right can be a bit of a challenge. With the Sous Vide technique, it has never been easier and they came out amazing! You can check out the recipe we used here!
