That's way too much water for optimum rice absorption.

Also, it's expensive and kinda a pain.  But delicious

This is very similar to  marinading the chicken , wrap it in lotus leaves, then make a mud shell.. and throw it in the fire.

I sous vide steaks and duck legs whenever I get the chance. It's really awesome.

Paging Munch... He is a sousvide master extraordinaire!

What about BPA from the plastic

You have to be careful what bags you use

[Karura]

I use Foodsafe vacuum bags, they're BPA free.

buhh..... there was that recent article on how even though they list BPA free, the chemical they used to replace BPA, is also estrogenic, and also leeches into your food..

hi, yup, I sous-vide everything at least once!

best is short rib, brisket, duck legs and pork belly. and fish, since the gentle cooking is amazing at bringing out flavours without ruining the texture.
veggies are also great, but I'm not so sure I prefer it cooked sous-vide vs. grilled or other high heat methods. depends on the veggie I suppose?

either way, highly recommended for those who give a darn about their meats. just don't be one of those sous-vide + blowtorch people please.
if you want to use a blowtorch, use it in combination with a skillet, not on its own. it gives a charred flavour, not a good crust.
