Stove top SV alternative...... in the oven?

Matthew_Snyder_68770

Would you be able to do the pot-on-a-stove sous vide method with a pot-in-the-oven instead?  I have a hard time with my burners maintaining lower temps (below 60°C / 140°F) over longer periods of time without pretty constant observation.  Wondering if it would be possible to just put the pot of water into an oven set to the proper temperature and achieve the same results with a more passive cook.

This isn't a super huge PITA or anything, just sort of thinking out loud. (As it were)

I have done that myself and depending on the oven, it can work quite well. You just need to try it out and see. Would be smart to set the oven to lowest temp in the evening and place a pot of water with a lid and check the water temp in the morning.
