How does anybody manage without cauliflower rice? @Rachox. It's so extremely versatile and it's a great way of increasing the vegetable and fibre content of a meal.

Wow! That's my kind of food @shelley262. I wouldn't need a pud to follow that!

No I’ve tried all sorts of meat but I can’t see the point of cooking fish like this as it’s so quick and simple by other methods. Do you use sous vide for anything?
No @DJC3. I wasn't thinking of fish for exactly the reasons you mention. I wondered whether you'd tried cooking eggs or other high protein food using sous vide.

No I haven’t tried eggs for the same reason. They are so simple and quick to cook in so many different ways, I couldn’t really see the point in sous vide in this situation. I believe restaurants batch cook poached eggs like this and then chill ready to reheat quickly when needed. I eat a lot of eggs but not on a scale to make this worthwhile!
