Over the last four months, I’ve experimented with the SousVide Supreme Demi, a compact sous vide for home use. We’ve used it to cook fish, vegetables, and fruit, to prepare potatoes to make very tasty gnocchi, to infuse vodka and make pumpkin custards. With Christmas just around the corner, my experiments…
