In a vaccuum @Uff. The food is put in a plastic bag and all the spare air sucked out and selaed then cooked at about 60C. Very good for making meat tender and juicy but then you just have to brown the outside briefly in some butter or oil to get a caramelised finish.

Many years ago I went to get my car from the street where it was parked. I opened the door with the key, turned on the ignition and started the engine. Then I began to realise that there was something not quite right about the interior, stuff missing and other stuff in its place. I got out and checked the number plate - it was one number different from mine. I looked around the street and realised that mine was a few spaces away. Now this was an old Hillman Imp van and I had never seen another before. And here was its twin which probably hadn't been together since they were first sold years before.
My friend and I both had Morris Marinas, so clearly both had incredible taste in cars. Our keys would fit each others cars locks and start them. Presumably British Leyland knew no self respecting car thief would want to be seen in one, so weren't concerned about security.
I've just about finished cutting out the bits I want from 9 years worth of GW. From a full shelf of 27" wide bookcase I have a pile no more than 2" high.
We once had a lovely red Mini and a revoltingly lavender Nova (officially my car, though I fitted the Mini better). The keys were interchangeable. Someone had re-sprayed the Nova which is probably why it was very cheap, 2nd hand... but it was impossible to lose in a car park. (Unless a thief had a Mini key, of course.)
Since 2019 I've lived in east Clare, in the west of Ireland.
OH's parents had a mustard coloured Nova. Ghastly, but it did mean I spotted them as they sailed by on the road below having missed yet another turning on their first visit to us in Belgium and could send OH chasing out to fetch them - 1991 so pre mobile phones.
@raisingirl - no, it's not just any old plastic and the heat is low so no taste transfers. It does give meltingly tender meat if used properly on game, poultry and the usual suspects.
Still persisting down here and blowing a hooly too but I have used my time indoors well - morning at physio then lunch and a snoozle followed by sorting out my file of Xmas decs for two full day workshops - machine patch, handpatch, appliqué, embroidery, fabric folding. Feeling organised and almost virtuous.

Glad you feel only virtually virtuous because if you felt completely virtuous, you would be prideful and therefore no longer completely virtuous @ Obelixx
