...concern. “Learning about food without eating it is a little bit like studying music without listening to music,” she says. “But I think we’ve come to a point in academic studies where the vacuum approach isn’t really à la mode.

...molecular technique poised to hit home kitchens is sous vide, in which meat is vacuum-sealed and poached at a very low temperature, producing supermoist and flavorful dishes. In December, Thomas Keller, who has two three-star restaurants, will publish Under Pressure (Artisan; $75), which offers sous vide recipes just as a slew of home sous vide equipment hits store shelves. The future is almost here. Start making counter space for the antigriddle...
