The Keurig FAQ states that it is not possible to drain the internal tank on a Keurig brewer. Actually, the process is not difficult and can be accomplished in 10 minutes, but it requires some dexterity, because you must reach a nippers and pliers into a confined area.

How to Drain Internal Tank

-------------------------------------------------

Tools: Phillips screwdriver, tiny sizzors, long

nose pliers, small plasitc tie-wrap

Procedure (~ 10 minutes)

-------------------------------------------------

1. Place cushion next to sink. Lie Keurig brewer on a it's back

with bottom facing sink.

2. Remove 5 screws from bottom plate. Swing plate out of the way,

but leave green ground-wires attached.

3. Cut tie-wrap from translucent corrugated hose and slip off of

nipple at bottom of stainless tank.

NOTE: Hose end is very tight. You may need a pliers to gently

wiggle it back & forth. Avoid nicking end sleeve that fits over the

steel nipple.

and allow tank to drain.

5. Replace hose over tank nipple and fasten tightly with new tie-

How do you sous vide?

It is a cooking method where you immerse vacuum sealed food into water to slow cook it to a desired temperature. There is a thermometer in the water and another in the food. The water is heated to a specific temperature, say 160 degrees, until the internal temperature of the food reaches the desired temperature. This takes a long time and is monitored by a computer. Once the food is cooked the water is drained and replaced with cold water, say 30 degrees, to cool the product for storage.
