Yes! I've been doing it for 3 years and I found another benefit which is improvement to my "skill" in cooking. I have a lot more intuition on cooking times, required temps for recipes, and general choice of ingredients. Doesn't sound like much but it's nice to be able to _quickly_ put together a good tasting meal
