Incorrect.
Boiling temperature is at 100 degrees Celsius (212 degrees Fahrenheit) (give or take based on factors such as elevation), you can certainly cook NEAR that temperature with A SousVide Supreme as it can be set to 99 degrees Celsius (210 degrees Fahrenheit). I'm sure other brands can do so as well, possibly even be set to boiling. |

Sorry, I wasn't clear - this isn't a limitation of the equipment but that most foods contain water. As you approach the boiling point of water, more and more water enters vapor state (the bag puffs up into a balloon) which impedes the heat transfer. |
