<p>We tend to think that sous vide is the simplest, easiest, most reliable cooking technique out there, and frankly, it&#39;s one subject we hesitate to wash down with a side of geekery. But as always, there&#39;s geekery to be had. For example, some geeks might want to know that you can add sugar to your food to force it to undergo the Maillard reaction more quickly (and effectively) when searing. Other geeks will love to get granular on the food safety specifics, or on manipulating time and temperature combinations for unexpected outcomes. And since we&#39;re certainly not in the business of inhibiting geeks, here is where we allow them to run free. Go, geeks. Live long and prosper.</p>
