Megnut on Sous-Vide

In light of the LA Times' reccomendations for a poor-man's sous-vide, Megnut did a little sleuthing into the dangers of plastic.

Turns out that both freezer bags and the vacuum seal bags the pros use are both made with polyethylene, a plastic that melts around 115 degrees, give or take a few.

Ergo, eat really tender and delicious meats at your peril.
