(A ribeye cooked in a sous Vide then finished with a torch is an amazing thing) Our last trip we discovered it was nigh impossible to bbq 5 rib eyes on the little bbq that’s onboard.
We’re thinking how easy it would be to set up the Sous Vide, start simmering your pre-prepped meal and then head ashore for the day knowing your meal can be finished aboard when you return.
Don’t think power will be an issue, we’re on a Leopard 43...


I sous vide a couple of meals and refreeze to take with. Thaw in the fridge and finish on the grill, whether it’s the electric grill on the cat, or a charcoal grill. Never had an issue or problem.

Regarding fresh water, you could use water from the tanks, as you’ve now pasteurized it, I’d think, and it’s completely separate from your food. A container is another issue, although a small cooler would work.
