(Actually the flashiest way to brown something that's come out of a sous vide is to hit it with a torch, which has the added benefit of adding no fat. I kind of want one -- it'd also be nice for creme brulee -- but haven't quite been that self-indulgent yet. ;) )

I am conflicted, because on the one hand that'd be a great thing to get you for Christmas, but on the other hand I'd just steal it right back. Because, FIRE.
