If you don't want to vizzle them, brine them for a couple of hours with some juniper berries and thyme in the brine, then pan fry in cast iron

BUT THEY WILL
I just tried my dad's pork chop marinade in the puddle. It turned out pretty drat good!

Soy sauce
Cooking Sherry
Chili paste
Peanut oil

I did 135°f for I think 90 minutes then seared them off in the cast iron skillet. I forget the exact proportions of the marinade since I have it on a 3x5 card someplace at home and not right here with me, but I think it was something like 1/4 cup each of soy & sherry, 2 TBS chili, 1 or 2 TBS oil.

The weekend is here and I have creme brulee viddling in the kitchen.
I have used a very simple recipe and will let you know how it went.

Edit: It was great.
Recipe for 4 portions:
250 ml milk
250 ml normal cream
5 egg yolk
100g of sugar
1-2 tsp vanilla extract

Whisk together, pour into small mason jars, close jars, submerge in 82C water for 1.5 hours. Let cool, caramelize some sugar on top, serve.

Thanks for the searing advice, the butter really makes the crust come together super fast.

I do notice that my steaks come out of the vacuum bag already grey/brown on the outside. Is this just the oxygen left in the bag reacting with the meat?

Yeah, agreed go way hotter and turn it ever 10-15 seconds for a maximum of 1 to 1.5 minutes total, otherwise it get too warm

Reverse gradient that poo poo. Throw it in the freezer for 30 minutes before searing and it'll look much better.

Nope, its the exact opposite. The grey is because there is so little oxygen in the bag. The redness comes for myogoblin reactions with oxygen. If you took a steak you just puddled and let it sit in the open air, it would start turning red in like ~15 minutes.

What temp did you go with? I've got a pork shoulder that I need to cook up and this seems fun.

I did 165 when I did this. Couple caveats:

•If you go 24 hours, it will be fall apart tender and almost impossible to move to the grill for smoking. 18 hours was plenty long in my experience. Do 24 hours if you want to eat it when you pull it from the bath.
•Omit the salt from Kenji's rub, or at least cut it by half then only use a reasonable amount of rub, or else your butt will be inedibly salty

Edit: I've made the rub twice, once from the volume measurements and once from the weight measurements. Volume was much better. Whoever did the conversion to weight just guessed or something. Take the dried oregano, for example: It says one tablespoon or 8g. If you ever seen any kind of dried herb, you know 1/4 ounce (by weight) is a hell of a lot more than a tablespoon.

165 for 24 hours. The hardest part is transferring it to a pan without it falling apart. I didn't think it was too salty also.

I wonder how it handles water storage but it looks very very interesting. I know there is like a Breville or Cuisinart countertop oven with steam but it's not full combi oven capable. I see this as more a competitor to the other countertop things than full precision humidity control.

If its top/silver side i find 131f at 24-30 hours works well and i only salt and pepper it. Sear after and you can make a nice onion gravy in the pan

So wild idea and probably bullshit.
Can you technically sous vide a Christmas pudding?
I made one last year was the traditional steaming method and it worked well, I was just wondering whether sous vide might be able to d the second with a lot less hassle. Or does the pudding need the steam?
Otherwise a closed mason jar like container at 95C for x time might do the trick...

I want some shrimp

But I have to take my kids to gymnastics tonight.

Better idea, sous vide shrimp before I go, reheat it when I get back or put it in the puddle right as I leave with a timer on

Not sure how it would work with something delicate like shrimp I don't want to over cook it

Shrimp takes like 15-20 minutes, I would bag and keep in the fridge, timer the water to temp do them when you get home (as in open front door, go to kitchen, drop bag... do rest of poo poo you do when you get home, it'll be done by the time you're ready to eat).

I know this is the sous vide thread, but if you want shrimp in a hurry, you could sauté them in moments.

Or if you sous vide and fridge them before you leave, don't reheat them when you get back, just eat them cold like shrimp cocktail.

        PEEP THIS...
           BITCH!

I got a really cheap ebay thermostat and basically a cut up extension cord so I can temperature control just about anything that can plug in. I was planning on using it to run a crockpot at specific temperature, and was doing some testing with just water in it, to get an idea of how long it takes to get up to temp, and how stable temperature is. I found that my crockpot could take up to 1.5h to get up to temp, from warm tap water, but was capable of staying within +/- 1C from setpoint. The temp controller is a really dumb bang-bang setup with configurable hysteresis, no fancy PID stuff. I set hysteresis to 1 degree. So it cuts power when it hits the setpoint, overshoots about 0.7C and then when it drops 1C below the setpoint, it turns on again.

Anyways, I felt like 1.5h is a pretty long time to wait before I can start cooking, so I started thinking of low cost ways to supercharge my crockpot, and then I realized I could just use my electric hot water kettle. That's going from 250W to 1100W. I did some testing with this, and it overshoots by about 3C, drops 1C below the setpoint, then turns on again. So if i adjust my setpoint down one degree, it will be +/-2C centered around the setpoint. This seems fairly reasonable performance for a $10 thermostat and an already owned small appliance(I think i paid about $30 for the electric kettle originally).




The opening of the kettle is fairly wide, I think most reasonable sized / individual portions should fit ok? I haven't tried cooking anything yet, but would like to maybe try some pork chops. Any thoughts?

Oh I also have a ts8000 that someone got me for my bday off my amazon wishlist, so I can torch some stuff, though I haven't gotten a searzall for it yet.

Just a thought, but if your crock pot has a removable insert, preheating that with hot water would help the speed I bet.

I want to make sure I understand the bacteria death curve thing. I dropped ribs in the water this morning, but it was still heating up when I left for work and didn't reach temperature for like an hour. It is set to 165, and Kenji suggests to run it for 12 hours. Most of that is just tenderizing the meat though correct? If I pull it out and finish it in the oven after, say, ten hours, it'll be safe (albeit maybe not as tender) to eat, won't it?

Rocket high heat, turn frequently (like every 15 seconds). Shouldn't need much practice. What went wrong?

Just a lack of evenness in my part due to the heavy 14 inch cast iron skillet being unlevel on my lovely stove. And I don't think I got it hot enough, and I just did oil. Next time I'll wait to get it hotter, butter+garlic+ some herb?

pre-heating the pan in the oven will help that out

I throw my cast iron in the oven at like 450F for 30+ minutes then on a burner on high.

I brush the surface with a little canola oil and flip every 30s or so. Twice on each side is normally enough.

Butter and herbs will just burn.

I find that if you heat your pan on max heat on the stove, canola/sunflower oil until it smokes, and then add a pinch of butter and immediately slap the steak on the foaming butter, this is well hot enough, no oven needed, as the butter helps with the crust building.

Also turning every 30 s may be too slow, I'd recommend every 15 at the latest and for 1.5 min total max, otherwise the meat heats up and the "bark" of well done meat becomes too thick.

And meat with bones is much harder to brown evenly...

If you've got a charcoal grill get a chimney and you can sear directly on top of the chimney in like a minute then dump the coals and grill some veggies/fish/whatever.

Also, thoroughly dry the steak before searing. If it's wet, a lot of the heat goes into evaporating that which then steams the meat.
