 Thermal Circulator with Storeplus Box This post originally appeared on the Polyscience blog, but we thought we would re-post it here because we agree with it wholeheartedly: There is a strong focus on the culinary benefits amongst the economic benefits with sous vide: more intense flavors, more moisture, perfect texture, more nutritions, 100% success rate and repeatability etc. But if you are wondering if sous vide is right for you, the economic benefits may play an important role!
