COOK IN A WASHING MACHINE?
A Tel Aviv design student has come up with a series of food bags that can be added to the laundry cycle to cook dinner.
The Sous La Vie bags, designed as part of Iftach Gazit’s Industrial Design course at Israel’s Bezalel Academy of Arts and Design, rely on the sous-vide method of cooking, reports Dezeen. The process immerses vacuum-sealed food in hot water for a lengthy period of time to ensure the meals are cooked evenly and remain moist.
The Sous La Vie bags are made from waterproof Tyvek paper, which keeps the food detergent-free.
To stop any leakage, the bags have an inner sealed plastic bag.
“Instead of following a sous-vide recipe and cooking a piece of meat at 58 C for twoand-a-half hours, just set your washing machine to ‘synthetics’ for a long duration program,” Gazit tells Dezeen.
