    I think @focker 's point of sous vide meaning "water bath"is missed by people who define the method to only using a temp regulating stick

    How you heat the water makes no difference.

    I can't speak for everyone else but our 'Spa Monkey' made the sous vide method a lot more desirable than 'hot-tubbing.'

    A hot tub is a thing that if you stay in it for longer than an hour, you will wrinkle and turn like a prune, same goes for food - hot tubs in a cooler make sense for 60 minute "cooks". Sous vide is a term that means under vacuum or maybe under pressure, depends on your French. it is a cooking technique, ideal for all kinds of things from 2 or 3 hours to days. No comparison. 
    All that being said, I do use the circulator to warm leftovers at 140ºF.....

    One time I said hot tubing is like sous vide in a thread - (I believe in context of steak) and I had a bunch of folks correcting me... I agree with you a water bath is a water bath. Hot tubing a steak to 120 degrees is more like sous vide than sitting it on the counter for an hour.


    I'm sorry.

    Ironic, that some of the Sous Vide pros that hang here, one being a chemist, have not questioned this?

    "Hot tub" is a synonym for a short, low temp sous vide operation.  While the reverse isn't always true. I don't recall being one of those people.

    Can we dig the thread up?

    You can.  I admit I'm not completely consistent.  Obviously not presidential material.
