Easy Food P0rn for Cats - Sous Vide Cat Food

OK this is the depth to which I've fallen, or the heights to which I've soared. Cat food done in the sous vide. Traditionally, because supposedly cats aren't really equipped to deal with burnt food, I've cooked the cats' meat for food in the microwave (yes, I know about the benefits of a raw diet for cats, but mine simply wouldn't accept a raw diet so I had to compromise). Today I decided to cook the turkey (I need to make a batch of poultry-based food) in the sous vide, so I let Kameko-san have at it.

The result was much more uniform, without the solid blocks of overcooked turkey I'm accustomed to.  The end product blended more readily and seemed to incorporate the added fat (for Nadja) and eggs (for Alex) better than microwaved batches. It will be interesting to see if the cats themselves notice a difference.
