Sous Vide: Working Under Pressure
Day 338 of 365
"Sous Vide: Working Under Pressure"
Today's image came to me while preparing dinner. I had just vacuum-packed my asparagus in preparation for the sous vide cooking. If you've never used a sous vide before, you...should be.......sued........ No, that joke does not work. For one reason, it is more of an audio joke. For those of you who are interested, sous vide cooking involves submerging a vacuum-packed bag of food, and cooking it at an extremely consistent temperature....within a tenth of a degree, to be precise. Your guests will be impressed....and it is just fun to do. Anywho, on to the photograph. I used a strip bank at camera-left, and it moved it in very close. By moving it in very close, it became a very large light source, and created the soft, creamy highlights on the plastic. Had I used a small light source, one would only see the specular highlights, and it would be...ugly. On the camera-right side there is a piece of foamcore, just bouncing some of the strip bank's light in to the shadows. It reminded me of a wall of bamboo. Oh, 185 degrees (Fahrenheit) is the perfect temperature at which to cook asparagus. It cooked for 15 minutes. Thanks for stopping by!!
