I first encountered sous vide done at a restaurant with a duck recipe. It was great! I have since experimented quite a bit, using a simple setup involving a cheap slow-cooker with a highly accurate temperature control device. It is especially good for chicken breast, cooking perfectly and producing always tender juicy results.
Using thickness, time, and temperature charts; meats can be pasteurized so they can be refrigerated for several weeks and reheated/seared later. Excellent for camping trips for instance. Also really good for meats with lots of tough connective tissue. Low and slow can be 24 hrs. or better for brisket or pork shoulder. Something like a flatiron steak can be made tender but still rare. You have to be careful not to make it too tender! Yes, browning is necessary but can be done later with a quick sear on a cast iron or steel pan, or with a torch. Delve into food science a bit.
