It is called "cuisson sous vide" (literally cooking under vacuum).

It may yield great savors, but it is currently viewed as one of the most unhealthy cooking methods because of all the chemicals involved in plastic.

Ziploc bags for instance start melting before boiling point, and plastic releases a lot more chemicals when it is heated, or when it contains acidic food.

A single plastic bag may contain dozens of chemical additives, plastic bag food is nothing but junk food.

Should you salt the water before cooking fresh vegetables?

Vegetables can be cooked without added salt. But salt causes water to boil at a higher temperature than unsalted water, shortening the cooking time. Salted water also improves the flavor of most vegetables. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Heavily salted water boils at about 213F (100.5C). The main reasons for adding salt is to keep starchy foods from sticking, prevent nutrient loss by "sealing" the surface of the food or to enhance the flavor of foods. See link below.
