I don’t often talk about cooking tech, I probably should. One of the things I love is the Ninja Foodi! It is an air fryer and a pressure cooker. Both are things I hadn’t considered critical, my mom recommended an air-fryer, and I’ve been hooked ever since! Pressure cooking is not something I ever thought I would use, but frankly, I have since used it! Now the new thing we’ve tried lately is the concept of a Souve for cooking. There are several types of Souve’s you can get either on Amazon or other online or in person cooking places. Souve cooks with water. What you do is simply put your food, species altogether in a plastic bag, seal the bag.
I guess the other tech you need is a bag sealer. Seal the bag and put it either in a pot with an attached Souve or in a Souve oven. A Souve heats the water to a consistent temperature and allows you to cook something in its juices. So far we’ve tried it with a couple of chicken dishes. You mix the chicken, and other things (carrots and potatoes in our case) a little garlic, salt and pepper and then seal the bag. We heated the Souve to 200 degrees. It cooked the chicken in about 20 minutes. The chicken was fresh and tasted wonderful. I did add just a little chicken broth to the bag before I sealed it. I know I am probably more cooking tech-focused than most people.
But I love tech, and I love to cook! Sometimes the mixing of both is a good thing. Plus, one of the things I look for in cooking tech reduces the time I have to spend getting ready. IThe easier things can be up front the less time, it takes me. I love spending time in the kitchen when I have time to spend. But often the reality of the day is you don’t have time. Plus there is nothing fire than Maryland Crab Cakes done in the air fryer! They are crispy without being dunked in oil! You can air fry anything you would deep fry from French Fries to Crab Cakes. The next thing I want to do is a Souve Dinner Party. You put an empty pouch on the plate, let people fill it, and drop them in the Souve to Cook.

eating crab doesn’t make you a cliche, it makes you smart…
In Maryland it makes you a terrapin!
I will go cold blooded if it means more crab
I could see you as a ninja turtle!
Cowabunga, dude! crab power
hero on the half shell – oh wait that’s an oyster.
oysters are my heroes! but I’ve also eaten turtles…
I have sadly also had snake. I did not know at the time that was what I was eating.
I did. Really does taste like chicken…
I found out after the fact. a friend said did you like the cobra?
bet that was a great doubletake
It was not pleasant I assure you.
and if he’d never said anything?
I actually would have found out later. Andrew Zimmerman went to Vietnam and actually ate in the Restaurant where they had taken me (in Vietnam). They translated the name for him. Best Snake house!
okay, then you were screwed the moment you walked in the door…
I like the sound of it………sounds great.
Air Fryers work really well!

My nephew is a huge fan of the Food Channel. The technology today used to cook is awesome.
I am always amazed at the progression of tech!!! Kitchen tech is a hobby more than something I focus on but it is amazing!
Kitchen tech is a great new way to cook meals.
It really is –
I really enjoy using the air fryer. There is something about making fried food that won’t kill me, that appeals!
Whatever is good for your style of cooking that is healthy is fine with me to try one day.
really the air fryer has the biggest impact!
I will take your word for it.
one of my roommates has an air fryer but we haven’t used it yet
🙂 It is very good at removing guilt from a number of foods.
we keep threatening to, but it hasn’t happened yet
Being converted Marylanders we love Crab Cakes (I know, is there a more cliche view of Maryland than eating anything with crab in it)! In terms of fried they are about 500 calories each.
Air fried – 200
Ah! and just as crispy!
if eating crab cakes makes me a cliche, I will jump at the price…
I would without a doubt recommend that!!
if eating crab makes me a sterotype or something worse, I am still eating crab
In Maryland, they cover it with old bay and away we go!
a pat of butter, a dash of salt and I’m set
It is actually not bad covered in old bay.
I will have to try that some day
I hear it for the first time to cook Souve. I have a regular fryer and pot pressure, but I rarely use them.
The Souve is a french innovation – very cool! I have a regular fryer that is sitting on the shelves in the garage, too much grease!
I use it very rarely precisely because of fat
My mom recommended the air fryer – it was a great addition!
I have heard a lot of good reviews on the air fryer but nothing about Souve cooking. Sounds very healthy. I am thinking about getting an air fryer.
They are wonderful for crisping! I made benet’s in the air fryer the other day. You miss the deep fried Cafe Du Monde flavor, but they were very good!
I do not get to know the cooking, dear friend … so I have a wife … I can cook macaroni and sput eggs, but then my cooking skills end….I’ll show my wife a post and read her … she probably knows more
I started cooking back in college, I love to cook
I have many friends who like and cook very well … and even in our inns, male chefs are more respected than women….you had to learn if you wanted to eat … I did not have to, so I do not even know
My grandmother and then mother taught me to cook. It was something we did together that was always fun!
We have pressure cooker and we often use on picnic
Very nice! sounds like a fun family outing.
This is a new thing for me. But I can try if I have time. My officemate taught us how to use the pressure cooker but we didn’t pay attention.
I have used it several times, it really makes a delightful BBQ 🙂
