METHOD OF REGULATING TEMPERATURE FOR SOUS VIDE COOKING AND APPARATUS THEREFOR
First Claim
1. A cooking vessel for sous vide cooking on a burner of a cooktop, comprising:
- a bottom surface;
at least one wall extending generally orthogonally from the bottom surface, having a height h and an interior surface, the interior surface and the bottom surface defining an interior space; and
a first temperature sensor affixed to the interior surface of the at least one wall, within a top 20% to 30% of the height h of the at least one wall.

Abstract
A method of regulating the temperature of a cooking liquid during sous vide cooking in a cooking vessel on a burner of a cooktop includes setting a desired cooking temperature and measuring the temperature of the cooking liquid inside the sous vide cooking vessel at a plurality of predetermined time intervals with a first temperature sensor mounted on an interior surface of a wall of the sous vide cooking vessel. The temperature of the cooking liquid is compared to the desired cooking temperature at each of the predetermined time intervals. The energy output of the burner is controlled based on the difference between the temperature of the cooking liquid and the desired cooking temperature. A cooking vessel and system for sous vide cooking using this method are also disclosed.
