Sous Vide

[JerryB]

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! :thumbup:

(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! :clap: )

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... :shocked:

Sorry...

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

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! :thumbup:

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. :yes:

I've heard of sous vide on an RV site I browse. Here's an example product: https://www.amazon.com/Anova-Culina...UTF8&qid=1485906022&sr=1-5&keywords=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...
