Meat and fish. I buy chicken breasts at Sam's Club that are vacuum
packed two per pouch and I do those in the package they come in. I've
also done bacon in the pouch straight from the store. I don't have the
times and temps handy for those right now. Other cuts of meat like
steak, I use a Seal-a-Meal to vacuum pack, cook to medium rare, then
sear off quickly in a pan or with the ceramic sear burner on my grill.

At one time someone here posted about doing a roast over an extended
period of time. I tried that once and was not at all happy with the
results. Too chewy. For that I just cook all day in a crock pot.
