I have sous vide'd fast food leftovers before when I had a long cook going at the same time. I can vouch that the heat was much better distributed than the microwave usually does. I don't think I'd bother though if it wasn't already cooking something at a reasonable temp.

I just wanted to say that while I've found this thread informative and it has tempted me to buy a sous vide gadget, AND I have laughed at how goddamn retarded the last page + was...

... mostly I giggle at the sous vide things because they all look like sex toys of some kind and every time I go to buy one or look at them seriously I'm like "poo poo this is gonna be on my Amazon history" and the next time I go look at stuff at work someone will walk by and be like "the gently caress is THAT?" and I'll have to explain "No it's just a wand..that you..stuff..into water and it heats up and stuff".

So thank you.

These haters can't understand the virtue of a frozen pizza cooked to the point of being perfectly rare, through and through, then quickly seared in a hot pan.

Boiling bread before baking is already a thing (e.g. bagels), so it might actually work to sous vide your dough before finishing in the oven.

Not gonna be the one to try it, though.

this is fine



We're making pizza tonight and I'm going to "super-proof" a small ball of dough to like 180 then put it on the pizza steel, just to see what it's like.

I'm 100% convinced it will suck, because overproofing sucks, but whatever it's a tiny ball of dough and it might piss someone off.

E: okay, holy poo poo this is actually a thing.





It's hard to describe. First image was after ~20 min at 180°F. Looked and felt like a chicken-and-dumpling dumpling.

4 minutes on the tippy-top rack, on a pizza steel preheated at 500°F for more than an hour (was baking bread and pizza all evening). Flip and press flat halfway.

It's delightfully chewy in the center and crispy on the outside. If you've ever had steaming fresh pita, this is like that but even better.

Next time I do a pizza, I'm doing a small one this way.

High school English teacher to a freshman: Your work is fine, but you didn't provide enough examples. Try to show me how this relates to a person.

quote:

I know that when I cook, I can never get different parts of a meal to finish at the same time. For example, last weekend I was cooking salmon with my Precision Cooker. I was also preparing vegetables and pasta. The pasta finished way before the salmon, leaving us with cold noodles by the time we ate. This was super frustrating and it happens to me all the time. The Precision Oven solves this problem.

Trip report on brisket: After ~30h at 155 it was tasty but certainly not super moist like the SE article suggested it would be--it kinda flaked, actually. I still have two more chunks of this flat left in the freezer, does anyone have any suggestions how they might be done better? I only seasoned them with salt and pepper.

I just did a whole brisket (3 separate bags) at 155f for 24 hours followed by three in a smoker. Mine was tender and juicy AF. The only thing I did differently was doubling up on the vacuum bags. I don't know if this kept more of the moisture in the brisket since the main bag was kept tight against the meat by the outer bag.

Did you have a decent sized fat cap on the cut you cooked?

I did brisket sous vide then smoked a year-ish ago, I wish I'd written down temps and times but it was still very moist.



99% sure this was it, pre-smoking.

Given the wildly varied results goons have been reporting on the brisket, I have a feeling the difference is in the cut and quality of meat used... Mine was fairly marbled and that seems to have rendered nicely without leaking out, so it was great.

Mine was choice flat from a local butcher, decent sized fat cap. I suspected it might have been the meat's quality too so I'm gonna dip down to Costco later today to see if they have any prime, or at least choice point.

So, Costco had whole untrimmed prime brisket for cheaper per pound (less than 4 dollars/lb!) than the butcher's choice flat. I know a lot of the weight is lost during trimming but still, poo poo, if I'd known I woulda gone with prime from the beginning. Gonna trim tomorrow and then start vizzling. Hopefully it turns out all right.

Have hit the third time when entertaining in which a second circulator would have made things easier, so it's time to level up. Thought about a Joule for the extra power, but will probably get a second Anova Precision and continue to ignore the Bluetooth. Please tell me how I'm being an idiot.

If you don't already know, find out how many circuits you have in your kitchen. Anova PCs draw up to 10 A I believe, so two plus a toaster oven or something will pop your breaker unless you distribute the draw across a couple circuits.

I thought about the Joule but then I looked at my half dozen cambros with holes cut out in the exact perfect size for the Anova and the thought of buying a new hole saw and new lids and making new holes was enough to make me buy another Anova.

80 C water for 3 minutes in a cup, a lot longer sous vide. Why do you want to sous vide a tea? Actually most teas say to use boiling water to get a safe drink. Not sure whether sous vide can accomplish the same, as bacteria/funghi on tea maybe have differently from those on meat or vegetables and may not be sterilized.

Hahaha, this worked? Nice.

Now just stuff the dough with cheese, sauce, and pepperoni before puddling and make a pizza bite.
Or, hmm, maybe the idea could be tweaked around to make something like a steamed bun.

actually seriouspost : this is realtalk

I've popped a breaker at least 20 or so times using my anova on the same circuit as my convection toaster oven. I switch it to a different circuit, and then pop the circuit that my electric boil kettle is on. I use at least two of these tools probably every time I cook, so I have to consciously be like "alright, what can I plug this loving anova in to this time".

edit : my house was built in 1915 and my electrical wires have some sort of fabric mesh braiding around them (whatthefuck, pretty sure I could die in a fire at any given second), so I'm blaming the house more than the anova

So my Anova PC 1.0 says 800W and 120V, which I think works out to less than 7A. Is my math wrong? Maybe the newer PCs draw more, in which case 50% more heating power would be welcome!
