Pastrami? Corn it?

Bag with red child sauce, shred and use to make tamales. The best tamales you ever had.

The most gringo style teriyaki, hard char it after bagging with teriyaki sauce. Don't judge me.

my new favorite weeknight fast dinner is 149 degree chicken breast sliced over pho. couple of instant pho cubes in chicken stock with a little hoisin and Sriracha, banh pho and spring onions/cilantro/Thai basil/bean sprouts. lime juice and sea salt on the sliced chicken. no need to sear the chicken. so good

i don't mind making the soup from scratch on weekends but the payoff/time doing it this way is awesome.

I'm basically enjoying them for the first time in my life since I got into SV. I use thighs for most other things but the breasts slice nice and thin and are perfect on top of a bowl of noodles.

The Instant Pot won’t circulate your water, so you’d likely have a few degrees of temperature variation between the top and the bottom of the pot, but that’s not the end of the world for most cuts of meat, and you could always give it a quick stir yourself.

Just put your Anova in it, easy peasy.

That said, I started with a Sous Vide Supreme, which also doesn't circulate, and it was fine for what I did with it. Short ribs were the only long cook IIRC.

It's basically 6 litres of water on a hot plate. Assuming the PID or whatever can approximately hold the temperature you want (I don't have one so I have no idea) you don't need to stir the drat thing.

The real argument against using something like the Instant Pot as a makeshift puddle machine is that it's so loving small---it's probably fine for doing a couple hundred grams of protein, but nothing much larger. The footprint is also a little awkward for handling bags of vac sealed poo poo.

But ICs being ICs is overkill for most poo poo most people are going to want a home s-v machine for. And they're designed the way they are not because of some keen insight into the underlying engineering problem or whatever, but because the consumer-grade ICs are just copies of things that were designed for lab work (with some largely cosmetic and interface changes). It's like if pressure cookers didn't exist and then someone discovered you could cook things in an autoclave and then all the sudden there are a dozen kickstarter campaigns for bluetooth-enabled full-size medical autoclaves for the home kitchen.

The Irish can't drink. What you always have to remember with the Irish is they get mean. Virtually every Irish I've known gets mean when he drinks.
So I think my first gen Anova finally died last night- over the past few months it'd just randomly turn off mid-cook and I'd have to jiggle the power cord to get it to turn back on, so I was limited to shorter cooks and had to keep a pretty close eye on it.

I'm going to reach out to Anova customer support and hopefully they'll hook me up with a discount on a new one, but I wanted to see what current thinking was on bluetooth vs. wifi, Anova vs. Joule vs. ????, etc.

Any guidance or advice would be appreciated.

No physical controls on the Joule made the decision for me to go Anova. I never use the app.

WiFi didn't seem worth the extra cost to me, but the extra power on that would heat up the water a bit faster. I usually just us an electric kettle to speed it up anyways.

I occasionally use wifi on mine, but mostly not. But I think the extra wattage might be worth it alone.

I got this from Kinja Deals. Not sure if that's a discount code that gives them a commission, or if you need their special URL for that. If you have SERIOUS FEELINGS about that company then tread lightly I guess. If you want to give them credit, here's their full tracking link for the deal

The disruptive powers of excessive national fecundity may have played a greater part in bursting the bonds of convention than either the power of ideas or the errors of autocracy.
Sous vide duck breast is great, but I always find the skin could be improved a bit. I usually sous vide at 54C for 1.5-2 hours and then "sear" the skin at a low-medium ish (same as bacon) temperature. Unfortunately, the skin's usually still a little bit too chewy for my liking.

Is there some way I could improve this process without separating the skin? (That also doesn't involve liquid nitrogen, what the gently caress ChefSteps.) I was considering a longer 3-4 hour sous vide time to better render the fat, though I don't think 54C is enough to render duck skin fat that much.

e: I guess ChefSteps added a non-LN2 recipe since I last googled it -- I'll try a pre-sear and 57C instead of 54C.

Seriously though. Try the LN2 recipe. Once you get over the mental hurdles of actually acquiring some and then actually working with it you can have a lot of tasty fun!

The fat on a duck breast is thick enough that I've found you can sear the poo poo out of it without really cooking the duck breast anymore than when it came out of the bag. Maybe just try higher heat?

It's not the breast cooking I'm worried about... The problem with that approach is that the inside does not have time to render before the outside goes past "crisp" and into "burnt" territory.

That said, 57C did have a lot more rendering action from just the sous vide, so I didn't have to leave it as long in the pan. Definitely will be sticking with that temp in the future, even if it ends up being a little more medium than rare.

E:


Didn't think to take a close up picture, ah well. Sauce is a base of maple syrup, hoisin and mustard to which I usually add a berry of some kind, blackcurrant this time.

My dad's not a big eater but ended up snacking on the extra breast, I'll take that as a good sign! :v:
