Oven sous vide?

mcat50lav

Someone suggested that I could use my oven to sous vide since it goes down to 122F. Is this true? Would I use the convection bake or the regular cycle?

It's actually something that can be done without a lot of fuss. Grant here suggested that you "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" (from his reply to my question on the subject last year).  Then try that again with the oven turned up a few degrees, and again and so on. That way you can get a decent gauge on how to calibrate your oven and get reliable and repeatable results.
