Which Cooking Are You?

every meat i've ever eaten that has had a prolonged sous vide bath has been mushy.  i don't like mushy meat.  even pork belly should have spring and texture to it, despite being soft.  i'm really glad that there has been a push back against mushy at restaurants, lately.

I had some mush issues when I first starting sous-viding. IMO one of the things over looked to get good texture is getting a nice tight vacuum seal on the bag.

We did Thomas Keller's fried chicken and the Modernist Cuisine take on Mac and Cheese (hurray for sodium citrate!) for Christmas dinner. Baking the cheese/sodium citrate/tapioca starch cracker to make the topping turned out to be more time-consuming than making the actual casserole. Oh, and we did biscuits. And there were pies involved.

 

None of it survived, and I don't think I took any pix. WTF is wrong with me?

Yum.  My Sodium Citrate should arrive tomorrow.

 

Mike, looks great.  Did JP come over and eat it all?
