Sous vide cooking brought awareness to the details in cooking. Sure, we can dismiss sous vide as soulless and set-it-and-forget-it bag cookery. But that, like most monumental ideas, would be missing its impact on the evolution of cooking. Sous vide changed how we cook, really how we observe. Now we look at the impact of temperature and time, actual specifics in the process. Guesstimations are no longer acceptable.
Sous vide cooking initially required expensive equipment. This expense sparked innovation. Cooks developed many workarounds and alternative methods to observe and control temperatures to allow for consistent results. Cooks learned to take better notes. Cooks learned to ask questions. Cooks learned to share ideas and results.
