Nomi-what?! OK, OK—in order to understand why the gadget in the above video (yes, the nomiku) will change how you eat, you first have to know about a technique called sous-vide. The method, which consists of immersing vacuum-sealed bags of food in temperature-controlled water, is beloved by chefs from Thomas Keller to David Chang for yielding perfectly tender meat, fish, and vegetables. But, it wasn't until this slick, green-and-white invention that sous-vide was possible at home. An official selection of this summer's White House Maker Faire, the compact gadget (it looks a little like a peppy garden hose, doesn't it?) regulates the temperature of any pot or bowl of water to a .2 degree Celsius accuracy.
In this video, OC friend and SF-based fashion editor Lauren Goodman whips up a delicious eggs benedict to launch Nomiku's HEALTHY EATING SERIES, with the help of the gadget, her backyard greens, and the adorable Nate Tyler.
