Any thoughts on the ChefSteps Joule? I've been getting blasted with social media ads for it, which makes me really wary, but they're also making me want it.

Flash Gordon Ramsay posted:Apparently I grew up eating the poor people's version of those things. We called them roasted potaotes. My mom would melt butter in a glass baking dish, then sprinkle in Lowrys, pepper and garlic salt. Put the potatoes in, then turn them over so the seasoned butter was on both sides. Sprinkle parm from a green can on top and roast at 350 until they look like what you guys made. I'm pretty sure they're also cooked in stock, so they're not exactly the same as roasted potatoes.

My new Anova WiFi arrived on friday, is there a good place to go for some good starter recipes? I'm just using a stock pot and ziplock bags for now, I'll probably get the food-sealer and a good plastic tub with my paycheck on the first.

peepsalot posted:Idk, because I'm clueless I guess, what's so bad about it? I imagine people here are pretty serious/specific about the way they like things done and pre-marinaded meat is probably just never going to be as good as some people here could make it. There's nothing horrible about buying pre-prepared food, but if you stumble into a cooking forum asking about it you're likely to get a reasonable level of [I can't think of a word that's sort of a synonym for snobbery or elitism, but with a less-negative connotation].

Yeah every trend goes through this phase where everybody is using a technique for literally everything and then eventually it will kind of even out and people will just use it for the stuff it's good at and not for the stuff it isn't.

With the low-effort trolling of using Sous Vide to make pizza etc, I feel like this is appropriate: http://lifehacker.com/tag/will-it-sous-vide For actual content, I'm thinking of moving from using my Anova in a stock pot to actually buying a plastic container specifically for it and a mesh baggie of pingpong balls. I think the consensus was the 12q Rubbermaid? I'm between 12q and 18q at any rate, unless there's secret goon knowledge of something better for the money.

Has anybody tried the ChefSteps fried chicken recipe? It's basically cooking the chicken sous vide before doing a higher temp fry. It seems like it should work but if its one of those things where you're doing SV for no appreciable purpose, or someone else has a better fried chicken technique I'm a newbie at it. I've got a few weeks to find a perfect method for a Chicken & Waffles party I told my lab group I'd throw.

Alright thanks, I'll give their recipe a try this week, then if it works I'll make a bigger batch for a party. I'm looking to make chicken for 6-8 people so it sounds like that's by far the best way to do it.

I've got two full bakers sheets with wire racks, but at a certain point, the speed of 3-5 minute frying in a Dutch oven will exceed the waffle maker, though

If Kenji dropped a sick Sous Vide companion to the Food Lab I'd buy it but yeah, the site really sucks. Almost none of the other content creators there are particularly interesting. I keep hoping he'll make http://www.kenjilopezalt.com/ into something good but it's still just an ad for his book and no content.

All the talk of porchetta and turchetta primed me to buy a lambchetta when I saw it in the window of one of the butchers stalls in Redding Terminal Market. The guy at the counter suggested a 130F internal temp, and that seems to be the correct temp for lamb loin, so that seems like a reasonable temperature, any suggestions on time? It's 2.5lbs.

If you have someone who wants their steak a little better done just keep it in the pan for a little longer when you sear it, or sear it directly out of the pan while the more rare steaks cool down to prevent overcooking during the sear.

Drunk Driver Dad posted:Mentioned I bought a sous vide elsewhere recently and had a guy post that it was unsafe, something about "petrochemicals". It's pretty much ringing my bullshit detector(Chemicals,toxins,yadda yadda) but I'm still curious. Is this a common debate? People have extensively tested and investigated this. In general, quality food-safe bags pose an absolutely negligible risk at SV temps.

Bag juices tend to have a bunch of albumin and gunk that gives a weird flavor. Bring it up to a boil for 5-6 minutes and then strain out the solids with a coffee filter. Then both the lipid and polar phase will be tastier and cleaner when you separate them out.
