Sous Vide and Gluten-Free Cereal
A couple of items to share this morning. First up, this article in the NYT dining section regarding cooking sous vide at home. The impetus for the story appears to be the release of the SousVide Supreme, which is specifically designed for the home kitchen. At $499, it’s pretty expensive, but lots of people have expensive gadgets in their kitchens, and it will probably sell well.
I also received a press release from Custom Choice Cereal, an outfit in North Carolina that will make gluten-free cereal to your specification, with a few different options. You start with three choices for the cereal base, a bunch of different dried fruits, then nuts or shredded coconut. When you add ingredients, the price per bag updates, as does the nutritional information depicted in a bar to the right of the screen. Pretty neat concept, actually. The corn flakes with apricots and almonds I created cost around $5.77 per bag containing around 11 cups of cereal. It may be worth checking out if you’re intolerant of gluten.*
*Fucking gluten, can’t trust it.
