Sansaire

Scott’s vision to introduce the world to the wonders of sous vide cooking took a huge step this morning when the Sansaire Kickstarter closed this morning with 4084 backers contributing over $823,000 dollars.  It is now the most funded food Kickstarter ever.  If you missed out on the Kickstarter, you can pre-order units at the Sansaire website.
