Beef short ribs, green beans, red potatoes and a merlot sauce.



I had inadvertently gotten thin, flanken style ribs, so I deboned them, trimmed the fat and went 22 hours at 159. Fall apart tender and the fat was nice and soft inside, so very tasty. I will try again with an English style cut sometime down the road for a 48 hour or longer cook. My wife isn't a big fan of the fattier cuts so I will space those meals out.

When you get the English style try the Modernist Cuisine recipe. Yes, it involves microwaving and deep frying strands of beef to give a crunchy beef topping for your 72 hour short ribs. End result is flipping incredible.

Looks almost identical to every $50 vacuum sealer I've ever seen. I have a ziploc one in my kitchen that is identical except it's black. Works well enough, if you don't have one then go for it.

Agreed, I have the exact same one in black and it works a charm. Not bad for $50.

The past couple of times I've used my Precision Cooker, at certain points through the cook it will blare its warning note continuously and stop working. I"ve checked to make sure the impeller is unimpeded, the water level is okay, and there's no other reason for it to stop working. Usually unplugging it and plugging it back in works fine and it's okay from there, but this puts any longer cooks into jeopardy and it's happening every time I use it now. Any reason why it'd be doing this? I only use it a couple times a week, for short cooks (1-3 hours).

Apparently I grew up eating the poor people's version of those things. We called them roasted potaotes. My mom would melt butter in a glass baking dish, then sprinkle in Lowrys, pepper and garlic salt. Put the potatoes in, then turn them over so the seasoned butter was on both sides. Sprinkle parm from a green can on top and roast at 350 until they look like what you guys made.

edit: And they were delicious.

I'm pretty sure they're also cooked in stock, so they're not exactly the same as roasted potatoes.

The total white trash version of this is to just slice the potatoes in half lengthwise, stand them face down on a couple of pats of butter in a skillet, and then put 'em in a cold oven, turn the oven on to whatever temperature you're going to use to bake your cornbread, leave them in there while the oven preheats and then as you cook the cornbread, then they're both done at the same time. Finish with a little s&p, maybe a sprinkle of rosemary or whatever if you want to tart it up.

You don't get the fancy presentation, but you get the same contrast between the fluffy interior and the firm surface. And they take some colour, which is always a big advantage when you're plating potatoes.

I vizzled a chuck steak (aka blade steak in canada) at 130F for 4 hours. Prep included salt, pepper, minced garlic. Outcome: Not as tender as a ribeye steak but pretty close. 8/10 would eat again. Not bad for $8 CAD of beef.

My fondant potatoes turned out ok. I found a recipe which browned first, then cooked later. It made the brown bits quite mild tasting. Perhaps it's better to follow this one and boil to evaporate, then brown later. Good stuff either way!

You're not meant to put the browned side into the stock. You brown one side nice and crisp in oil on the stove top, then flip them over so the browned side is on top and remains crispy whilst the other side is cooking in the stock and butter in the oven. The 3 popular recipes/videos I've looked at all follow this method.

I made sous vide hainanese chicken tonight. 149 F for 1.5 hours. The chicken consistency and doneness was phenomenal. Those of you who make hainanese chicken will know that it can be hard to cook properly. Unfortunately i had slathered a ginger, green onion and garlic puree on it before sealing the bag and dunking. I should have made the puree with browned garlic. I deboned the chicken before cooking btw.

Can you share your recipe? That looks good.

Sure. I kinda made it up though. Since this recipe is all adlibbed, go easy on the garlic if in doubt.

Ingredients

Puree
- 6 whole cloves of garlic (I would recommend browning these first)
- 1 whole green onion
- 2 or 3 slices of ginger
- maybe about a quarter cup of oil? I eyeballed it and put in enough so that the puree was liquidy.

- 6 chicken thighs, deboned

Garnishings
- half a cup of cilantro
- a generous amount of soy sauce (4 or 5 tablespoons?)
- 3 tablespoons of sesame oil?

First, make your puree. Then put your chicken in the bag and massage the puree into the chicken.

Cook the chicken at 149 F for 1.5 hours.

When done, take it out and slice it up. This is why I deboned it. I hate playing chinese bbq deli man and chop chicken with the bone in.

Dump garnishings on.

Hainanese chicken doesn't really need to be served piping hot. Serve it with a special garlic rice recipe like this one: http://steamykitchen.com/5068-hainanese-chicken-rice.html

Huh neat. I actually did something similar for a Chinese dinner party with Scallion Oil Chicken, 150*F but for 12 hours. It was served cold, super tender and moist and gelatinous:




Also on the menu, 72-hour red-cooked pork cheeks:




And 72-hour braised beef short ribs. They browned a little too much here since I hosed up and overdid it on the reheating. :(
