Sous vide really is idiot proof probably why I was good at it. More kitchen appliance manufacturers are starting to design stoves with ‘ water baths’.
If you don’t have a vacuum packer you can use zip lock bags and a pot fill of water.
I use geothermal water cause it’s in the right temperature bracket 74 degrees Celsius and of course we have a bore so it’s free cooking for us . Sous vide is a French word meaning under pressure much like hangi except the dirt provides heat and pressure in a water in water stops the 20% most forms of cooking loose through steam .
1.place in bags with salt , garlic , marinade.
2. Vacuum pack
3. Put on drain at 75 degrees for 24 hours
4. Open and eat or run under cold water for 20 minutes then into fridge . If chilled correctly Sous vide meat can have shelf life of up to 8 weeks chilled and 2 years frozen.
In the agent of a power grid problem with a generator running the bore pump could theoretically turn or geothermal pools into pots and cook 10000 kgs of meat every 24 hours .
I’m not a genius but geothermal places like our should be part of overall civil defence plan for major disasters or power outages.
Quite possibly the V8 Supercars could be the loudest noise Taupo region has seen and heard since the last smaller Hatepe eruption in 232 bc it was dwarfed by Oruanui eruption though.

We’ve had 30 + 2.5 out of 10 location scores of the wine segments of booking companies…. You can only assume it was those who arrived late at night and left early in the morning.
The beautiful painting of Mount Maunganamu shows the Oasis motel too the bottom left, we have no lake views but we are within 900 metres of the southern shores of Lake Taupo which then flows north to Taupo city and into Waikato river.
Tokaanu is the southern most area of New Zealand’s super volcano which reaches up to Edgecumb, geothermal pools to general public are only located here, the water from Lake Taupo and Mount Pihanga merge underneath Tokaanu and are super heated in the Earths core .
We installed with permission of local Iwi and Waikato regional council a new geothermal bore with all new stainless steel components and a pump capable of submersion in high ph 84 degree Celsius water , which flows to holding tanks to reduce temperature.
We’ve had 70 + 2.5 reviews out of 10 for being old and run down , and yes most of the Original buildings were built in 1965, what I like to convey better to those guests is ‘ see the picture ?’. Your standing on a super volcanoe, on the shores of New Zealand’s biggest Lake which is the biggest explosion on planet Earth in the last 25000 years , you have for a fraction of the cost the opportunity to soak in mineral rich skin nourishing geothermal water albeit in plan mineral stained concrete pools .
No our rooms aren’t made for lounging around inside all day aside from Lake Taupo we are 15 minutes from Lake Rotopounamu and those magnificent Maungas Tongariro and co and 35 minutes from the start of Tongariro crossing . The money we invested in the bore could have been spent on tile floors etc but I say again do they ‘see the picture ‘ we aren’t about cavier and champagne it’s about the privilege of soaking in some very special water which has been heated in very special part of planet Earth.
Or you can sit in your room watching
