I don't get it. Although I suspect I know where the punchline lies. Perhaps if I knew the words...

I've never heard that before, and apologies for having to explain the joke. That always sucks.

There is an official edict on this matter.
So in case you need to know, remember not to look at it or pass it on or otherwise promulgate this image!

There is nothing as effective for distributing an image as prohibiting the use of it...

Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

I know there are some serious foodies here, and a lot of gadget freaks as well, so it's possible I'm not the only one with the kit...
I'm the organised sort, so I plan early: and my Christmas present to me from Herself arrived today (there was a sale, so I saved about £70 by getting it this early). A Sous Vide water bath - the sealer should be here tomorrow - and Herself is insistent that I've got to use it before I pack it away until December, so if it doesn't work I can send it back. Makes sense, I guess.
So what do I cook? Other than a two-and-a-half-hour steak with brown butter, I have no ideas because I figured I'd have till Boxing day to read up on use and recipes...
Any ideas? Experience?

Why would you need that?  I thought you Britains eat your meat raw
Didn't even know that such a thing exists.. But I guess it will probably most useful when cooking bigger parts of meat. However I'd be pretty interested to hear what you'll be able to accomplish with such a... ah... gadget

It's not just a slow-cooker-on-steroids!
If you have eaten in a restaurant in the last decade or so, chances are at least some of your meal has been in a sous vide at some point. It's about consistency and repeatability of cooking, as well as keeping flavour and nutrients in the food.
Plus herself can't over cook anything in one...

It is a cool gadget, but, IMO, not very useful for "normal" home kitchen usage; it is _very_ practical for a restaurant where they can dump a ton of meat in the water bath and have them all be cooked as intended.
Even if you manage to cook your meat with it, you will still need to sear it in a pan for it to be presentable, and the char marks are really good looking (tan lines!! )
I find that just using the vacuum bags to marinate meat and fish is just nearly perfect.
You can try your luck with a slow cooked egg.
I'd rather be phishing!

Does it make a nice soft-boiled egg? Or a hard one for that matter.

Apparently, yes. http://vimeo.com/58582325[^]
Raymond Blanc on sous vide: "It has huge advantages; it is consistent, delivers perfect tenderness, taste, colour, flavour, and juiciness. It increases the flavour and minimizes the weight loss (a roast joint cooked medium rare can lose up to 20% of its weight through traditional cooking). Low-temperature cooking retains more nutrients; indeed, we all know that many nutrients are actually reduced or destroyed by high temperatures and prolonged cooking. So for me sous vide is as important an invention as was the change from coal-fired to gas-fired ranges, with the precision gas made possible. (For the cook it is both a good and a bad point that there is no smell during low temperature cooking, and it's a bad one that after browning the cooked proteins have less flavour - are we sacrificing some flavour for tenderness?)"

Very popular concept in the 70s, what with the packets of the boil-in-the-bag fish. Obviously those weren't done the same way but it looked like it was. Auntie's BBC business editor Robert Peston has just started a series on shopping trends and last night's episode featured archive footage of those 70s b-i-t-b fish and the sickly anaemic sauce it came in.
I'd say, do a piece of meat and some fish. If it comes out wrong, blame it on the 70s.

I remember the "Cod in Mushroom Sauce" from being a student in a student slum with only a twin burner working on the cooker. They were great with Chips and peas. I had the chips going in the chip pan on one burner and cooked the frozen peas and the fish "block" boiling in water together on the other burner. If you got the timing right in all came together to provide a tasty, nutritious meal. The other sauces all sucked though; only the mushroom was any good! For variety you could use the frozen peas and diced carrots instead of just the peas - yum!
- I would love to change the world, but they won’t give me the source code.
