unless your name happens to be Gordon Ramsey cooking could be tricky and
0:03
timeconsuming but imagine this a high-tech way of cooking tons of
0:07
different meals with extreme precision and nerdy fine tuning without using a
0:12
bulky stove it's even backed by Gabe Newell no this isn't a pitch for some
0:16
cheesy infomercial product I'm talking about suid a method used by higher-end
0:21
restaurants that's finding its way into techie kitchens today so what's so
0:25
awesome about this that even Lord gabin is putting his money into it s cooking
0:29
involves sealing food into tight bags preferably vacuum sealed then submerging
0:34
the food into either precisely temperature controlled water which is
0:37
what we'll be focusing on today or steam both for long amounts of time and at
0:41
temperatures much lower than other forms of cooking such as frying or baking the
0:46
idea is to cook food as evenly as possible without overcooking and while
0:49
retaining moisture and flavor this is all thanks to the vacuum sealing process
0:54
in fact suid is actually a French term that literally means under vacuum
0:59
temperature stay relatively low never getting up to Boiling also known as
1:03
staying below 100° C and 212° F these
1:07
lower non-boiling temperatures prevent proteins in meat from denaturing and
1:11
tangling together resulting in a tender dish lower temperatures also keep the
1:16
juicy little cells that make up your food from popping like balloons making
1:20
things moist and succulent perfect if you want a luscious steak in fact many
1:25
higher-end restaurants have used sued for some time now just for this reason
1:29
after after a chef Cooks a steak sued he or she can briefly sear it in a pan
1:34
without drying it out or overcooking the inside not only that but the vacuum
1:38
ceiling allows things like herbs and marinides to penetrate your food more
1:42
deeply instead of just sitting on it like uh partially on a Thanksgiving
1:47
turkey okay so that's cool and all Luke but how is this any way possibly Tech
1:52
rated well with how technology is progressing there are cool Innovations
1:56
in almost any industry even cooking and on the consumer side there are many
2:00
modern Sous cookers that could make your old microwave pretty jealous these
2:05
cookers can be pretty small fitting onto an existing pot but still feature
2:09
full-fledged heating elements and pumps to constantly circulate water and
2:13
maintain constant precise temperatures not only that but some can even connect
2:18
to Wi-Fi or Bluetooth for easy control
2:21
and can even send you notifications to your phone perhaps the best part is that
2:25
you really don't have to be a trained Chef to use one and as technology
2:28
progresses these cookers are becoming more and more affordable Gabe n is even
2:33
backing a soused cooker that is supposed to deliver a 1,100 WT heater and an
2:38
11-in cylinder just don't try to install Steam on it but is there a downside to
2:43
all this well the big one is that it can take a long time to cook something SV
2:47
due to the low temperatures it's not typically the kind of thing where you
2:50
can whip up something in 10 minutes in fact in some extreme cases it can take
2:55
up to 96 hours to fully tenderize certain Meats though most food foods
3:00
will cook in as low as 1 to 4 hours or even less than 1 hour for seafood and
3:04
some nicer steaks the other downside is that food should be vacuum sealed before
3:08
cooking for best results though vacuum sealers are pretty easy to come by and
3:12
even squeezing the air out of a sandwich bag by hand will can do in a pinch maybe
3:17
all this convenience will bring us a little bit closer to having the robot
3:20
cooking servants we all dream of that
3:23
being said my food is done so I'll see you guys next
3:28
time well back to work for me and possibly for you as well because
3:32
freshbooks is on a mission to make Freelancers less stressed and more
3:36
organized through their easy to use tool for crafting and sending professional
3:40
invoices in seconds which can be honestly one of the most annoying parts
3:45
of your job if your job isn't literally making invoices freshbooks also helps
3:49
you track down your hours so that when it comes time to create said invoice you
3:53
know exactly what you did when you did it who you did it for where you did it
3:57
all that kind of stuff and you can even accept deposits through their platform
4:01
so your work is paid for on your schedule which is again rather important
4:06
they also have a tool to manage your expense reports their mobile app lets
4:09
you take a picture of your receipts and pretty much handles the rest which is
4:13
super easy and maybe we should get a lotion like that I don't know getting
4:17
started on Fresh books is extremely simple even if you're not a numbers
4:20
person actually if you're not a numbers person it's totally fine don't worry
