What would you guys experiment with that sous vide makes drastically different from other cooking methods? I've done multiple steaks now, but I'm curious to experiment with other stuff.

This meal was my first drat this device was worth buying http://www.seriouseats.com/recipes/2016/07/sous-vide-pork-tenderloin-recipe.html Also stands out for me because it's an easy cook. I could never get pork tenderloin right before because of the whole pork will murder you mindset my parents instilled in me.

I tried to make a chuck roast and failed horribly. I put it in at 135 degrees and took it out after a day, at which point I realized it got some significant lactobacillus activity (i.e. was green). I think it affected the flavor as well for sure, and I also realized that a day was not long enough at that temperature. I put it in for another day. It tastes like rear end.

Takeaway question: do you guys do something to sanitize the surface of your meat before a very look SV session? Briefly boil it? Sear?

You should search the sous vide subreddit because you aren't the first to have that issue. But yeah apparently at that low temperature with a long cook time you should have s

Seeing this discussion of people making GBS threads on Kenji's recipes has me worried about my plan to make brisket this weekend. Specially since my wife doesn't like salty food. I've never really smoked anything, and I'd be using a Weber charcoal grill for the final smoke based on Kenji's recipe. Should I avoid this? Is there an alternative recipe I can try going with?

If you have a weber I would just not use the anova and do this https://youtu.be/k0PYZL8lMrA Brisket is a motherfucker to cook but using that method has worked for me. I just did a final resting of about 1.5 hours wrapped in towels in an ice chest

I just finished a chuck at 135 for 24 hours and it's interesting to have a chuck taste with a steak consistency. What kind of temp/time would I need to get a traditional pot roast consistency if I wanted to try again in the future?

Meh I would just drop it in a pressure cooker and have pot roast in an hour max. Not seeing the point of sous vide chuck and wanting pot roast consistency.

Is this something that people do? I just assumed most people at least in the smoking world smoked the whole brisket. Honestly I didn't even know there were 2 different muscle groups when I started. Speaking to my smoker friend at work I assumed he cooked the whole thing then served according to peoples preference. It seems silly to me to cook the same meat as far as cook times go in 2 different sessions. Unless I was looking to make just pastrami I don't see what the point would be. Please educate me though. This is/was literally my first time cooking this cut of meat.

Aaron Franklin has some great videos on bbq in general and his well known brisket recipe is amazing on the smoker. This is a good starting point to understanding the beast that is Brisket https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VmTzdMHu5KU

Shake Shack's cookbook just came out, supposedly with all their recipes. For the fried chicken sandwiches and tenders, it says "we make this sous vide, but nobody has that at home haha! So here's a totally different recipe."

Any speculation on the actual recipe?

We just got a Shake Shack in Houston last year and don't remember that sandwich standing out as anything special when I tried it.

I would try this though https://www.chefsteps.com/activities/can-t-f-it-up-fried-chicken at the bottom they link to a sandwich recipe after you sous vide the chicken

Hello friends. I bought an Anova on Prime Day and used it for the first time on some ribeye today. It was pretty incredible.

Is there anyone with a sous vide creamed corn recipe? I would love to make that with sous vide to go along with some of my other stuff.

Get a crock pot. Stick the anova in. Throw in corn, a stick of butter, a block of cream cheese. Take out anova and turn on slow cooker. Cook for an hour and use immersion blender to cream. The end

I keep going back to pork tenderloin. Best bang for your buck. Got a nice pork butt cooking for some pulled pork tomorrow since rain has stopped me from using my kettle grill outside

Doing a 24 hour pork shoulder, and checked this morning to find it bobbing a bit at the top of the cooler, which I'd covered with foil. I've now added a weight to the bag and it's sunken. Does the time the bag wasn't totally immersed mean it's hosed at all?

I always have to rebag after the first couple of hours and vac seal again because of this issue. Last week I decided to double zip lock and used the water immersion method with the intent of vac sealing after a few hours. The drat thing never floated after 18 hours.

Man, a pork shoulder has a tasty amount of fat. I wouldn't bother sving it at all.

2. I bought some fresh Atlantic Salmon from a nice fish market around the corner, but some places online say to only use sushi-grade meat. I'll be fine, right?
3. Any other poo poo I should look out for?

Yes cut off the skin and debone if you can.
Sushi grade meat isn't a real thing so as long as it's fresh it's fine
It's delicious

I had an argument with a friend about this- doesn't this burn the butter, and isn't that bad? A quick google leads me only to recipes recommending basting with butter, not searing. This thread is the only place on the internet I've seen searing with a little butter recommended.

I think that poster meant finishing with butter not searing the entire time with it

From reading comments on Reddit when people did any type of prime rib it doesn't come out great. I just use the serious eats reverse sear for standing rib roast. It was pretty fool proof and they have a step by step guide that's hard to gently caress up

chuck roast, 18 hours at 137, went in with just salt, finished with salt/pepper/garlic powder and seared in ghee

extensively trimmed the original roast and then tied it with twine

pretty incredible. tenderness of prime rib.

I upped my cooking time to 48 hours and gently caress, a chuck is incredible at that time. Temp was 131. Followed the chef steps directions for searing and dropping the toasted garlic and rosemary in the bag while it cooked. Came out almost buttery tender. The bag sauce was perfect as well. I really want to try with venison next like the other dude did in here

Use the circulator to reheat water to below boiling and thaw out the bag and then dump it into a pot? Alternatively dethaw in fridge night before...

Well, that was a semi failure. I was hung over and let it go for 24 hours instead of the 18 the recipe said, and my pork fell in half as I was taking it out of the bag. It tastes amazing, but it ain't hitting the smoker.

Why not? Pulled pork is pretty forgiving. I think last few smokes have been at least 2-3 chunks because it fell apart post water bath. An hour in the smoker wouldn't over cook it.
