Sous Vide

Hi folks,

Wondering any of you cook-types have used these things? And what are your thought on them?

Thanks,

My wife (a commercial Chef) uses that cooking method a fair bit, & I hafta say that whenever I get to sample the results, I almost invariably appreciate it!

(However, you need to realise that it really doesn't matter HOW you cook it, tripe simply never tastes great!! Some of the sauces it gets delivered in tho, mmmm! )

Love mine. I use it to reheat leftovers all the time. Especially rare cuts like prime rib. Set the SV to 135* and your PR will be a perfect med rare.

Also great for pork chops, as they can be dry. SV @ 150* for 1 1/2 hrs then reverse sear. Tender, juicy pork chops.

I also SV a filet mignon for 3 - 5 hrs @ 120 then sear. Dam good steak.

I've heard of this process, but never had the pleasure of trying the glorious results!
But I've also never been a patient person, when it comes to meals...

Jerry, I do all the cooking but I can not wait that long...the crock pot sleeps in the same closet... must be good though..

Sorry Jerry, no thoughts yet.

I just bought an electric pressure cooker with this feature. Haven't had the opportunity to use it yet , but it sounds very interesting.

Let us know how you like it; once you've figured this out!

Hi Gene,

Re: I can not wait that long

I'm like you, I think; I just want to get a meal cooked with little time involved. However, some folks on another forum swear by these devices as time-saving. You put everything around Noon-30 and have cooked food by 5 PM.

Re: the crock pot sleeps in the same closet

I actually like my slow-cooker. I put everything in early in the day & have a completed meal 8 hrs later.

Let's talk Denman into getting one & letting us know how it works for him.

I've heard of sous vide on an RV site I browse. Here's an example product: https://www.amazon.com/Anova-Culinar...ords=sous+vide

RVers like them in that you can set it to cook and leave for the day, kind of like a crock pot. But they take up much less room than a crock pot. But you still need a pot to hold your food. You can even get ones that are wi-fi enabled!

I understand steak houses use them and keep several steaks at the appropriate temp for the desired done-ness and then sear the steak just before serving.

Is that so the vegetables can watch Netflix, while they're cooking??

I received one Christmas. I have used it twice to cook steak since it's too cold to grill. I used the Sous Vide to cook then seared them afterwards. Some of the best steak that I have ever eaten, I could cut them with a fork!

This is a great unit. Don't forget to get a Vacuum sealer if you do not have one...
