“Theoretically, you could take a bread machine, externally control it, and hack the thing and use it as a low temperature cooker.” [16:00]

“I think that the higher vacuums actually decrease the quality of the food.” [26:45]


“You can learn to cook on your own, but it’s very difficult to learn how to work in a restaurant on your own. You can learn that from working in a kitchen, or from culinary school.” [38:45]
