Essential Kitchen Equipment
   In the previous chapter, we went over different Sous Vide machines and
  appliances and the benefits of each. Let’s go into detail about the pieces of
            equipment you’ll need for a successful sous vide kitchen.
                                 Vacuum Sealer
   Even if you’re going the all-in-one route, you’ll probably need a vacuum
sealer; most machines don’t include one. You can also use the zip-top freezer
  bag and water method if you’re on a tight budget, but with vacuum sealers
         going for $15 or less, it’s just as easy to pick up the machine.
                                   Plastic Bags
     A vacuum sealer usually comes with a roll of heavy-duty plastic bags
specifically designed for the machine. You’ll also need some freezer bags for
    recipes that use the water seal method (see the DIY Alternatives section
   above). It’s important to use freezer bags instead of your run-of-the-mill
 sandwich bags because freezer bags have tougher seals that won’t degrade in
                                       water.
                                   Mason Jars
Some of the recipes in this book use mason jars instead of plastic bags for the
 cooking vessel. Jars come in handy when you’re cooking something that you
  want to have a specific shape, like a custard or a cake. Make sure to always
  screw on the lids using the “finger-tight” method familiar to canners: only
 screw on the lid as tightly as you can get using two fingers. This ensures that
            steam can escape during cooking, which prevents cracks.
                             Immersion Circulator
 As detailed in the previous chapter, immersion circulators warm up the water
in your basin while moving it around so that everything is heated evenly. You
   won’t need one if you buy sous vide oven, which has a circulator built in.
                                   Water Basin
  The best thing about an immersion circulator is that you can use it with any
  pot you have around the house. For the most precise results, though, you’ll
   want to buy a dedicated sous vide container, preferably plastic (which is a
    better insulator than metal). I suggest a Cambro container, a restaurant-
industry favorite that comes in a wide range of sizes. The 4.75-gallon version
 is best for family cooking. (Naturally, you don’t need a separate basin if you
                               have a sous vide oven.)
                        Cast-iron Skillet or Nonstick Pan
  If you’d like to give your food a dark, restaurant-worthy char after it comes
out of the sous vide, you’ll need to fire it up in a pan. Hot cast iron or copper
       skillets are best for this, but a good nonstick skillet will also work.
                                 Saucepan
 A few recipes in this book require a few steps to finish the sauce before the
 meal is complete. Make sure you have a saucepan handy for these recipes.
Cooking Sous Vide Safety
  As with all new concepts, people have certain doubts about Sous Vide
  cooking. Some like to think it is not okay to cook food in plastic bags,
  while others are concerned about low cooking temperatures.
  Cooking in plastic – this sounds like a wrong decision, and there are some
  alarming reports. We get your concern, as most of Sous Vide bags are
  made polyethylene. But, there are some other things to have in mind.
  What about clean kitchen surfaces, and clean equipment? We should put
  all blame on the plastic bags. And what about plastic food containers,
  aren’t they bad?
  Plastic is not okay, but if you buy plastic bags from certified retailers, you
  can make your food perfectly safe. In the end, plastic is not safe when
  used over and over again, or at high temperatures. Sous Vide bags should
  be used only once, and since this appliance does not cook at high
  temperatures, you will be perfectly okay. We know we love quality, juice,
  and well-done meat, seafood, and veggies, and why to avoid this, just
  because we are afraid. Still, if you have doubts, you can use canning jars
  instead.
  Another concern when it comes to Sous Vide is bacteria, especially
  salmonella. Salmonella only thrives in a particular range of temperatures,
  from 40-135F.
  This danger zone is the reason why we keep our food in the refrigerator
  for an hour before we cook them, or cook food to a particular temperature
  before we serve and eat them.
  There is no need to worry about bacteria, as long you keep your food
  clean, your kitchen counter clean, and refrigerate before cooking. Once
  you vacuum-seal you fresh steak or fish and cook it for longer periods of
  time at a steady temperature, there are no worries that any bacteria will
  grow. The precision temperature control of Sous Vide means that this
  method is safe than other traditional methods.
  Sous Vide is an entirely safe way to cook food, and plastic bags are okay
  because you are not exposing them to high temperatures. As you see, there
  is no reason why not to enjoy perfectly cooked and juicy food from the
  Sous Vide appliance.
