So you have several issues:
1) Tall cylinders present a definite safety risk (This is the most important issue by far)
2) Tall cylinders are more unwieldy
3) MapPro may damage the rear screen
4) MapPro may not be a food grade cooking gas (we, as a company are just not 100% sure)
5) MapPro costs a lot
6) With a TS8000, MapPro is not significantly faster (no real benefit)

I could use some pointers on making a sauce for my shortribs (real this time, not that Costco bullshit). I'm having them tonight after soaking for 48h at 135. I've never made a sauce from the bag juice. I also don't have any non-nonstick pans (I do my searing on a baking steel), so I won't be able to get too much usable fond. Here is my plan:

1. Drain juice into pan and cook until proteins curdle/etc...
2. Scoop/strain out any solids
3. Sear the shortribs in pan
4. Deglaze pan with clarified juice
5. reduce sauce a bit
6. Add some butter
7. eat

Anything I'm missing or doing wrong here?

Throw out the gross bag juice, sear the ribs, throw some shallot into the pan and cook over medium heat for a couple minutes, deglaze with a cup of red wine and cook until syrupy, add in 4 tbsp of butter one at a time and stir until glossy.

48 hour short rib bag juice might actually be good, depends if it's a nice dark brown color or not. Anything pink or gray (usually from a cook that's shorter than 48 hours) is useless.

Bag juice from short cooks sure but long term bag juice is already browned as if it were made with fond and doesn't curdle.

48 hours may or may not be enough time but at 72 hours it's definitely there.

Making my first thing ever with the sous vide, strip steak. The Anova app says 130 for 2 hours, does that sound reasonable?

That's probably fine. I prefer my steak a little rarer and go to 52, but I think that's not that safe so 54C is probably a better option.

One thing: let the steak breathe out of the bag for a little while or it might look more grey than you expect from a midrare steak.

When/how do you breath a steak?

Feb 4, 2001

I leave it on a cutting board for like half an hour. I noticed if I went bag to sear and then rested that the steak looked more cooked than it should. If you sliced the steak on the plate it was grey, if you waited a few minutes it would turn red.

If you don't care about the color then just do whatever.

I don't like the look of it...
If you aren't making a pan sauce with the bag juice from 48+ hour short ribs I feel bad for you son, I got 99 problems, but my sauce ain't one.

Seriously though, after my 72 hour short ribs are done, I strain all the bag juice through some synthetic cheese cloth into a fat separator. Let the cheesecloth catch all the coagulation and the fat rises to the top and then you can decant the good poo poo from the bottom of the fat separator. Pour the decanted meat juice into a saucier, add some black peppercorns, a bay leaf, a pinch of kosher salt, a clove or two of smashed garlic, some fresh thyme, and a few tablespoons of butter. Bring it to a gentle simmer and whisk it to bring it all together. My wife calls it the money sauce.

I'm not trying to be funny, but wouldn't that leave the steak cold? 30 minutes seems like a long time.

Also, should I trim fat prior to cooking or just leave it as the butcher cut it?

I've got a 1 1/2 pound rump roast vizzling right now, it's been in for nearly 24 hours. My plan was to eat it tonight, but got an offer of free dinner elsewhere. I figured ~24 hours was plenty for this roast, but say I left it in for 48 will it turn to mush or should it still be good for dinner tomorrow? Do I have any other options like pulling it at 24 hours and tossing it in the fridge and just reheating tomorrow?

Yep, take it out, shock it in icewater (or let it cool naturally if you have the time), toss it in the fridge, then puddle it up for an hour or so to your desired eating temperature.

Err no, you don't do icewater to shock, you do ice water to reduce the time bacteria get to do the auto-horizontal-mambo in the danger zone, you always want to icewater down to fridge-friendly temp then toss on the fridge.

Well by "shock" I just meant "reduce the temperature to a fridge-appropriate level in a short amount of time". Depending on the temperature at which the rump roast was puddled, I personally wouldn't have a problem leaving it out at room temp to cool down enough to not significantly impact the environmental temperature in the fridge. I'm sure SubG could jump in with some logarithmic pasteurization math bullshit about a 1.5 lb roast puddled at X temp for 24 hours to prove me right/wrong, but I've done similar things plenty of times and never suffered for it. Then again, I live on the edge.

Five degrees to starboard!

What you have to realize is, when you vizzle, you're not just sticking stuff in hot water until it's cooked. You're walking on the razor's edge between Flavortown and A Big Bowl Filled With Botulism. You're literally taunting death every second, because that is the price of good eats. You gotta just be skimming the treetops of the Danger Zone, and when you come in for a landing, you gotta land fast and hard or else Charlie is gonna plant a septic RPG so far up your rear end you'll taste the proximity fuse.

What term would you rather use? Sous vide is not a verb, so the common replacements for 'to cook using the sous vide method' are 'to puddle' or 'to vizzle'. Yes, both sound dumb, but they are better than saying 'how should I under vacuum my steak?'

Anything can be a verb if you believe hard enough that it is

That said, people should just relax and not get uptight about stupid things like what words people use to describe a method of cooking

I don't understand why it's so complicated. you cook something 'en sous vide' right?

the verb is 'to cook'

in common parlance you leave off the verb and just describe the more specific method in which you cooked something - ala "I sous vide'd some poo poo" in place of saying "I cooked something en sous vide"?

I'm probably missing something

it's called sous vide in english too and you can verb anything you want in the past tense with -ed but sure if you want to sound like some overly precious weirdo go ahead and say puddled just don't be surprised when peoples eyes roll back into their skulls by reflex

even water bath sounds better

HA! HA! NICE! WHAT A TOOL!
If I recall it started getting called a puddler around here because that was the shortened verb form of "tepid puddle", which was a jokey way to say water bath.

The framing of the water bath as a tepid puddle is funny, and way back before the kickstarter explosion and before the SVS it was a way to be self-deprecating about using a technique that most people didn't have a simple way of accessing (the choices were the $600 Poly Pro and fiddling with PIDs and crock pots).

I don't think the intent was to be pretentious - I think it was to take an at the time fairly intimidating form of cooking down a notch.
