The sous vide method has risen in popularity as a new member of the low-and-slow family, circulating hot water to evenly cook food over the course of a few hours, or even a day. The downside to sous vide, however, is that cooks typically vacuum seal their turkey breast or New York steak in a single-use plastic bag before submerging it in its water bath.
