If you want to make food like all those chefs in fancy gastro restaurants, then set up shop in your tiny studio kitchen and outsmart the commercial $2K sous vide for a scrappy, dangerous looking, deliciously-tender-and-perfect-steak-producing one you'll build yourself.
In this class, you'll learn how to seal your food in vacuum bags, create a temperature controlled water bath to cook the food in, and ultimately whip up an out-of-this-world meal of perfectly cooked edge-to-edge medium rare steak.
Class will be a combo of demonstration and hands-on participation, including learning how to solder (tools provided). At the end of the class, everyone will get to sample a variety of steaks cooked sous vide. FYI: you will not walk away with your own sous vide set-up, but you will get a shopping list and instructions for building your own (a feat which you'll be able to accomplish for approx. $100 - compared with the normal price of ten times that amount).
