If your friends ask what youre doing, just tell them that youre a French chef.
Condoms doing what they were made for. Keeping the weiner juices in
"Sous vide" doesn't mean "enclosed in plastic;" it means "under vacuum." It doesn't fucking work if there's air between the food and the container!
Suck out the air before tying the knot. Got it!
I mean, yes, but usually people would use a ziploc bag and straw instead of a condom.
Another strategy that works without a vacuum pump is to submerge all but the opening of the bag in the water, so that the water pressure forces most of the air out, before sealing it.
Not actually true, you just won't reach your target temperature evenly and it may discolor certain preparations.
The reason you remove air is to make better heat contact, you don't need a vacuum unless you are cooking things that oxidize stupidly easily.
I love traditional French vacuum sealed plastic techniques.
Yum, extra microplastics 🤤
So many people think condoms are made out of plastic. Weird.
A lot of lemmiers (lemmings? Lemmists?) have only meme contact with condoms.
Hypoallergenic condoms are made out of vinyl.
Boiling plastic... Doesn't seem safe
What if I told you that nearly every canned food or sealed tetrapak carton you can buy on the shelves was essentially sealed with plastic and boiled, sometimes under pressure that allows it to get even hotter than regular boiling temp?
Cooked in the can, like sweet grandma Sue used to!
To be fair, it's a ridiculously inert polymer
You're a madman!
Latex, actually.
lol it's not but with how much is EVERYWHERE the little you get from the food is less than what the packaging of the food already put in it.
Cooking hot dogs in condoms? Ok I guess. Seems like a waste of condoms.
ribbed for flavor?
thanks, i hate it
Ribbed for her pleasure
Seal in the microplastics
Latex is not plastic, it comes from trees and your body doesn't care.
Otherwise you really screwed up chewing all that bubble gum as a kid (which contains latex).
Jokes aside, when I visited Europe. My host family made a sous vide soup.or something like that for me and I never could figure out what it was actually called. All I know is it was fucking delicious and it was the first time I had ever had boiled bacon. It was amazing.
This used to be how tacobell made their ground beef 2005?
