What sous vide apparatus are you using?

I have the Anova One. I use it every chance I get. Currently braising some pork belly on hour 30 out of 72. Comes out like jelly.

Here is a cowboy ribeye I made this past weekend.

You may also want to consider the Weber Genesis grills. They are the version below the Summit and are also available in stainless.

Nice! I actually just picked up a vacuum sealer and I've been eying an Anova to buy soon. Which model Anova do you have and what are you using for the bath?

I was looking at this:

and this cambro tub for the bath:

My Weber Genesis Gold has treated me well since 2002.

Random craving...

AW335TT · 08-19-2015, 11:15 PM

Dry brining it, so much moister coming out.

AW335TT · 08-20-2015, 12:22 AM

Well I weight at least 1.5 pounds more now lol

UncleWede · 08-20-2015, 07:33 PM

I ended up grabbing some rib eyes from trader joes. Not as large as most have posted, but going to try that reverse sear tomorrow night

I have the Anova One, which is the original and it is operated by the touchscreen. The Anova Precision Cooker you linked is the newer version and it is operated by your smart phone via bluetooth connection. Other notable differences are the heating element and circulating fan on the newer version are actually inferior to the original (1,000 vs 800 watt and 12 vs 8 liters/minute). Neither of these specs are important if you don't plan to cook for a dozen guests. I have cooked steak dinners for a dozen guests in a large cooler and my Anova One was struggling to keep up.

I have the same tub you linked, with the matching lid, which is especially useful if you plan to frequently cook for 72 hours to minimize water loss. The pork belly should be done tomorrow morning.

Kortho · 08-21-2015, 01:27 AM

So this was my first attempt with a salt block and it was delicious

Been dying to try that with some steelhead trout.

The flavor that imparted onto the salmon was amazing. Heated the egg and stone to 400, while everything was heating up and put a small amount of olive oil on the fish, then a few drops of lemon juice with pepper and rosemary. Cooked on the flesh side for 4 minutes then on the skin side for about 25 minutes.

The final product had a very slight crispy exterior with a moist flavorful interior.

What I'm really trying to say is I highly recommend trying the salt block out.

Here I was thinking I was so damned creative

M.A.R.C. · 08-24-2015, 09:16 AM

So I tried my hand, well hands off kinda, with sous vide with the Anova Precision Cooker and some top sirloins I had. Here's the outcome with 45min in the bath and searing on a pan

TXSTYLE · 08-24-2015, 11:53 AM

I know I may be in the huge minority here, but I can and will only tolerate a slight pink line on my steaks. Can't do the rare thing at all. And before you go all Gordon Ramsay on me, just know that "taste is VERY subjective". For me, a more thorough cooking suits my taste buds.

UncleWede · 08-24-2015, 11:58 AM

^ Where's that "Order chicken" gif???

I grew up in a household where mom wanted it done "chicken" and dad wanted it room temperature. I followed mom until I was about 35, then had a nice medium-rare and haven't cooked it that much since. Luckily for my son, both mom and dad did it at about 135.
