I'm getting pretty frustrated using the Anova app, is there any way to set the timer just using the base unit?

Why the poo poo would you need a timer when doing sous vide?

What happens when the timer goes off? Temp starts to decrease for a lazy ride through the danger zone?

Isn't there a little clock icon on the interface to the right of the set temp? Not sure about the wifi model, but on my BT one you can press and hold that icon to set the timer.

So if I wanted to eat a (food) and just got home do I have enough time to cook (food) and sides. When should I start the side given the time I have left. It's just for time management for the most part.

It's just for time management for the most part. That really depends on what you're cooking. Pork chops? A steak? Chicken breast? Sure, those will take an hour to finish while you make your sides and have a glass of wine or something. All you need to do is sear the meat after it's done to give it a crust and some color. Or not, if you don't feel like it, though presentation will suffer. Bigger pieces of meat and tougher cuts that take longer due to more connective tissue, not so much. Those are potentially multi-day cooks.

BraveUlysses posted:I'm a firm believer that SV will not produce real bbq results. it doesn't matter how much you gently caress with it it's not going to be as good as real BBQ. I agree. You can get great flavors and textures but it is very different than what you think of as "real BBQ"™. A place opened near Cleveland called Ribstcks that does sous vide BBQ, and while a lot of it tastes good it is certainly not what most people would call BBQ. They sous vide, smoke (debatable based on my experience and other reviews) and hold, then grill to order. I feel that fire/smoke is the biggest factor in claiming something is BBQ, and this place misses the mark trying to replicate that. My few attempts at sous vide BBQ also were disappointing.

It's just for time management for the most part. You don't, because you can't overcook (food) and just work on your sides until they are ready and you finish (food) with a sear? Unless you're really terrible at planning and you put in (food) earlier/longer than it should, but a timer isn't going to fix that.

Leave it to goons to nitpick something like this. Of course you can overcook sous vide, on a scale of hours, not minutes. If you are actually close enough to that threshold that the 10-30 minutes it takes to prepare some sides would make a difference, then it's already almost overcooked and it's not a timer that's going to make a difference.

Going from 60 to 90 mins on a piece of salmon is definitely noticeable. Source: me, right after I let it sit while I finished the sides.

I've definitely left fish in longer than I wanted doing sides and not paying attention.

And it's not nitpicky to point it out when that's probably the biggest misconception about sous vide cooking.

Jan posted:You don't, because you can't overcook (food) and just work on your sides until they are ready and you finish (food) with a sear? I'm not worried about over cooking things. It's more about making sure that I fully cook them. I generally get home only 1-2 hours before the wife and if I want to make sure that everything is cooked and on a plate within a thin time frame I want to make sure it's fully cooked and the timer can help me manage this 'oh i've got 20 min left for this to finish. I should start the mashed potatoes so they will be done & hot after I sear/grill those steaks.' Cooking something bigger tenderloin/roast or what ever I'm less worried about the timing as I'm going to be starting it early in the morning or day before hand and can just pull it out when I'm ready for it. Does that help explain? Subjunctive posted:That sounds like a neat app, but how would it work if you were starting it from the unit? I don't understand. There isn't an app. It's just something I'm keep of track mentally and by timing the cook time of my protein can gauge when I need to start other things so all the side and everything is done at the same time for plating.

Anyone have any recipes that might make for a good shareable appetizer for a Super Bowl party? Thinking about doing something that could go on top of a bruschetta or something like that. Trying to find something that you could eat pretty easily by hand or toothpick.

genderfluid and beautiful posted:Unless there's a requirement for "smoke", like in a barbecue, brisket is a perfect cut of meat for SV because it requires very low, very consistent temperature to break everything down. There's a ton of brisket preparations that don't involve smoke and several that require low, slow braising in liquid. Didn't SV it but did make this after you mentioned it and it was indeed, amazing. Should SV even be considered though? When you're braising meats in a pool of broth and stuff? Boosh! fucked around with this message at 22:42 on Jan 24, 2017 |

Oh, yeah on the device there is a timer. The Anovo wants you to find recipes via their app. Then click 'cook recipe.' This sets your time and temp. Once it reaches temp it ask you to add your food and click okay. Once you do that the timer start. We just want to set the time wait for it to get there and then set the timer on the device. Which apparently you can do if you hold down the timer button.

Once you click okay on the phone app the timer will start counting down. Then when time is up your drat thing will beep at you relentlessly till you address it. Nothing special. Temp doesn't change.

Some petite open-faced steak sandwiches could be nice. Get some flank or chuck, sous vide, and top with some caramelized onions and a little balsamic vinegar. Being able to make it really tender while still medium-rare would be particularly nice when you're trying to make something that can practically be eaten in a couple of bites.

I'm glad it worked for you/you liked it - and SV would just add a level of precision, plus keep the liquid on the meat better. It might be only an incremental improvement but it's worth a shot, for me at least. When I get around to it. Someday.
