Corn oil is cheap and available at costco. A sous vide is a fancy french name for a $150 device from target that keeps water at a specific temperature...

This "simple process" is much, much simpler than most meals one cooks at home. It's not much harder than microwaving something.

You are missing the point. With a small change in the way you do something, the really good thing can be made.

Sous vide are even cheaper now, $30 for a basic one, provided you've got a stock pot or something large enough to set it in.
