I haven't really tried sous vide for the same reason - i.e. plastic and leaching.
I'm a big fan of the OPOS method - One pot One shot. A gentleman in Chennai who goes by Sir Ramki came up with it and I really think it's the bees knees. It basically utilizes the inherent moisture in the ingredients themselves to cook under pressure (std 15 psi, 120 degrees centigrade, moist heat) and there is none to little addition of water. He's got a great primer book explaining the science behind it on Amazon kindle - called OPOS primer. I make a ridiculously lip smacking (I have to say so myself because only I and the husband have ever eaten it, we never got as far as to share it) spaghetti sauce - comprising of beef mince, whole tomatoes, whole garlic, onions, butter, salt and pepper. It cooks on high heat for 40 minutes and comes out like it's been going on the fire all night. I think I've made myself quite hungry. Let me know if anyone has tried it out or wants to come over for a demo ! H.M.
