              I’m not sure if you mean the container or the method so I’ll Explain the both. Im cooking it with a Nomiku brand immersion circulator. The method is a Sous vide water bath. Food is cooked in vacuum sealed bags to precise temperatures.  I can explain that more if you’d like. The container is a 10 quart Cambro bucket. I covered the bucket with plastic wrap so the water does not evaporate. It’s a 12 hour cook so I’d lose all the water if I didn’t cover it:

              @bryaneidins70 it’s a great way to cook anything. You’ve most likely eaten Sous vide cooked food at many Restaraunts but maybe didn’t know. They are affordable for home purchase now. Between 100-300 US. I like
              To cook steaks this way. I sear them first then vacuum seal and put them in a water bath at 130F for 1 hour. Then a quick sear again. Perfect medium rare from the first bit to the last. Confit duck legs are unbelievable wit this method as well. And any vegetable tastes better. I could
              Go on for days

                    Thanks man. Yeah those are steamed buns. The pork came out great for My first try. My wife loved it. That’s good enough for me  😃

                    Anyone who likes to cook should buy an immersion circulator. Next level food at home.

                      Is that from the vacuum @Matty123?

                      Interesting read about the method. I bet it is so tender, melt in the mouth stuff.

                        Thanks Bryan. Yeah it’s from the Sous vide aka immersion circulator  method. I wish I took photos as I went but since it was my first time I wanted to focus. And yes it’s very tender. Anyone ever wants to come over for dinner please do. Cooking for Others is my favorite.

                          When living overseas, one of the biggest bummers is not being able to find the comfort foods that you love from "back home"… Sometimes you can find them, but then it typically costs you an arm and a leg for something that would normally be dirt cheap. That's fine every now and then, but it gets VERY annoying after a while, and you find yourself thinking "I can just make it myself!". Well, my wife is that person.

                          During her (Almost) one year in England so far, she has amazed me over and over again... In the past, she's made her own tofu and nattou (Ewwwww......), and adapted countless recipes so she can still make/enjoy her favorite home foods. Yesterday, her new food adventure was making kimchi for the first time. It's a Korean food, but a staple all across Asia.

                                    My dad was in the Army, and while he was stationed in Korea, he developed a taste for kimchi. Years later, he decided to make his own, included the very traditional decision to bury it in the back yard to properly ferment.

                                    As you might imagine, the rest of the family was completely uninterested in sharing when he dug it up a couple of months later…

                                    I love the stuff now, though.
