Thinking about investing in some <a href="https://www.chefsteps.com/joule">sous vide equipment</a> for your kitchen? Good idea! Here at ChefSteps, we’re unabashed fans of sous vide cooking—we love the way it requires little micromanagement and helps us create food we couldn’t make any other way. We’re such fans, in fact, that we built our own sous vide tool to create an even more amazing experience for you at home. Truth is, though, a lot of the sous vide recipes you find online focus on steak and fish. Don’t get us wrong—those are two excellent options. But when it comes to cooking in water, proteins are just the beginning. Read on for 17 of our favorite unexpected uses for sous vide. Got faves of your own? Go ahead and share them in the comments.
