Lamb rack is often seen as difficult to cook and can be an expensive mistake if things go wrong. Cooking lamb rack sous vide takes away the stress and gives a perfect result every time. It can also be cooked in advance and reheated in a pan when required, great for dinner parties and special Sunday lunches.
