It's super accurate and you can set it to the exact temperature you want, meaning it can't possibly over cook.

Problem with boiling is juices / spices going into the water. No such problem here...

11 years ago | Likes 5 Dislikes 0

It isn't boiled to where it gets rubbery, water never touches the meat or is brought to a boil and you do sear/cook it after.

11 years ago | Likes 7 Dislikes 0

The water isn't hot enough to boil, and the meat is vacuum sealed in a bag. The water just acts as a heat source just like air in your oven.

When you put it on a grill you have to get the exact right time when it is done. In sou-vi you bring it to the exact needed temperature.

Thus easier to control, but needs more time and energy. Choose wisely. The searingl was just for the crust.

I'd say even less energy. You don't have to pay attention while it's cooking, you can prep other stuff.

Everyone else is correct, but here's why it's not as bad as boiled meat: lower temps (~134°F for med-rare stake) and it's in a bag.
