Date: November 20th, 2017 3:14 PM Author: Racy Puppy School Cafeteria Cooked some fish with mine yesterday.
All the online talk seems to revolve around steak... it is pretty credited for that, but IMO some of the most profound results are on stuff like chicken and pork
72 hour short ribs are amazing. You should probably use a vacuum sealer for a longer cook like that though. I just use ziploc bags for short cooks |

Date: November 20th, 2017 3:29 PM Author: Racy Puppy School Cafeteria I sort of agree... but for me, my sous vide rig was a really helpful tool in becoming a better cook.
I never used to really give a shit about cooking at all. But now that I have a SV rig, I have the security of knowing that I can cook damn near any protein to perfection. |

Date: November 20th, 2017 3:16 PM Author: brilliant address I sous vided a pork shoulder overnight and then threw it in the smoker for like three hours instead of the ~16 it would have taken conventionally. It was great.

Date: November 20th, 2017 3:40 PM Author: Racy Puppy School Cafeteria Yea, the Anova bluetooth is what I have. I don't really think the wifi is worth the extra money.

|
Date: November 20th, 2017 5:15 PM Author: Racy Puppy School Cafeteria I don't think the extra wattage really makes that much of a difference for most SV cooks. The hot water coming out of my tap is already like 120. It takes very little time to get up to temp for proteins
Now if you do veggies with it (which require a much higher temp), one trick is to just add some hot water from a stovetop. Gets up to like 180 or whatever a lot faster than waiting for the unit to heat it. |

I used to work close to my house so I'd be able to go home for lunch. I'd throw a bag of meat in the sous vide bath and it'd be ready 3-4 hrs later when my GF would come home.

Date: November 20th, 2017 3:56 PM Author: Doobsian Mind-boggling Elastic Band It's not flame. You can't cook meat at the perfect temperature for 12, 24, or 48 hrs.
