Recent researches in the culinary world led me to a cooking method called "sous vide." It's a method of cooking by pouching the food and immersing it in water whose temperature is closely controlled. The food item is thus cooked to a precise temperature arriving at a prefect state of "done-ness." My few sampling of sous vide cooking were delicious, moist and perfectly prepared. One might think meat would look boiled, flabby, and unappetizing and that is true of the serving right out of the bag. However post processing sear over a grill or in a hot skillet produces the delicious browning so prized by us human type carnivores.
It's all the rage among the foodies and the cooking gear people are designing and making all sorts of expensive cooking gadgets to make a simple process complicated. Google "sous vide" and be amazed at the offerings and their expense and splendor.
All that is background.
Those of you who've lusted for an ultrasonic cleaner for any reason can find justification in that a heated ultrasonic cleaner can be made to double as a sous vide cooker. Just don't turn on the U/S transducer. It has the closely controlled heated bath and if of sufficient size has the tank volume to accept a roast or a chicken. All that remains is to sell SWMBO on the idea that an ultrasonic cleaner could be the start of a whole new adventure in cooking.
And you'll have a handy gadget to clean gun parts, bike cylinder heads, fishing tackle, etc.
If you can sell the idea.
