Perpetual Carouse

Wanna rock out some sous-vide, but you don't happen to have a $4000 thermal circulator?

Throw your protein in a freezer bag with some yummies, place the bag in a pot of water, and put the pot in your oven on low. So says the L.A. Times.

I'm also wondering if this might not be a good way to re-purpose a crock-pot. I was just reading one of Jeffrey Steingarten's essays the other night, and he clocked a crock-pot around 180 degrees I think.
