Which Cooking Are You?

[grawk]

sous vide chicken and eggs

[shellylh]

That is one good looking steak sir.

This!

[Absorbine_Sr]

Warming up the water bath for a chuck steak experiment. 26 hours at 131 F. My guinea pig tomorrow night will be a certain Mr. Reks.

Looks like you got the vacuum sealer, remind me, please, which one did you get and how is it working out?

[grawk]

I made sous vide pork chops for 90 minutes at 142 then seared

This one. It does very well unless you have liquid in the bag - it tends to suck it into the unit. You can keep that from happening by manually stopping the vacuum when the liquid gets close to the inlet. Not as complete a vacuum job, but it has worked for us. So far we really like it.

[Dusty Chalk]

Thanks.  Wouldn't that be a problem (in as much as it would be a problem) with every such vacuum sealer, or are some of them better about dealing with accidentally-sucked-up liquid?  I see that some of the more expensive models have a moist/dry setting, is that what that's for?  Never mind, I'll do some research (wanders off to gtfm)...

[Absorbine_Sr]

Eventually I'd like a chamber vacuum sealer. Dusty, with a chamber the entire bag goes in a vacuum chamber so pressure is equal on all sides thus no liquid movement. But they are expensive.

[Dusty Chalk]

For science, goddamnit!

Jacob making a chimichurri to go with the chuck steak. Debbie is helping.

 

[grawk]

I just bought this:Food Saver Game Saver to replace the rival that I killed cleaning 2 days ago.  

[Absorbine_Sr]

That was good chimichurri. And great steak and potatoes!

 

Correction: Awesome chimichurri.
