EAT THE EGGS RICOLA posted:You can just cook them all at their appropriate temperatures and chill them in an ice bath, then reheat everything to the temperature of the lowest-temp item in the meal (so for carrots you cook them at 180F, then reheat them at 125F or whatever you're cooking your steak at) Ahhh, clever!

Is the food truly ruined if the contents leak out? Can you re-seal the bag and let it go to full pasteurization?

Use oil with a higher smoke point, and then you won't have to keep the oil smoking as long. The goal is to sear the steak, and using a low-smoke-point oil only means you have to cook it in the pan longer. You can also deep-fry the meat to achieve the same effect without having to bring the oil to its smoke point. Searing fast is better than searing hard. If you don't want to use any oil at all, pat down the meat and sear it with a torch.

deimos posted:Look, it doesn't NEED WiFi, but if you're going to do any sort of connectivity for the kitchen while connected to AC power bluetooth is pants in the head retarded compared to WiFi. WiFi would allow for desktop app integration, whereas bluetooth leaves it primarily in the "mobile app" territory. FishBulb posted:I know piling on new technology as terrible is a thing people like to do on the internet for some reason but pardon my ignorance here, with people SVing their stuff for 24-72 hours on occasion wouldn't some kind of wifi accessible status control be useful? That way if there's some kinda critical failure while you're at work or something at least you could know and somehow perhaps salvage it? Agreed, but how often are we actually changing anything with the cooker? I can't imagine any change other than taking something like brisket, cooking at 180f and then dropping to a hold temperature.

Hope those coupons from earlier still work! Bluetooth is on the next generation of Anova, which doesn't ship until October. If you buy one today you get the Anova without bluetooth.

Samizdata posted:Huh. I thought I saw something about it chilling it afterwards too. Oh, well, I can't afford any of these toys any way, so I am lucky I remembered it at all. Nope, the goon involved specifically said that going from cold to hot was doable, but the reverse direction (hot to cold) not so much. Drive By posted:Cold to hot takes 10 minutes, hot to cold takes 2 hours or more, room temperature to cold takes an hour or so. The major benefit is keeping food safe while you're away fromthe kitchen, but the more we play with it, the more we find out you can do some funky things when you have full control of the temperature spectrum. Drive By posted:Sorry nwin, I thought that was the case you were originally referring to. I can't recommend you do cook-chill with our thing, for most foods the core temperature won't decrease fast enough to guarantee safety.

KirbyJ posted:So I have a couple of brand new Lodge pans, will I be able to sear my steaks in a dry 450 degree pan for a minute on each side without it sticking like crazy? It's going to be my first time dealing with both cast iron and sous vide. Cast iron shouldn't stick, sous vide or not. Make sure you take care of them properly (IE don't wash with dish soap) and use a little bit of oil when cooking.

Yeah I did the turchetta as well. The 2-day cure for the turchetta on seriouseats really helped the turkey retain its moisture while cooking. An uncured turkey breast gave up a ton of bag juice while the turchetta gave up barely any at all. If nothing else I would probably dry-cure again, but I don't know if I would go to as much trouble as a full turchetta.

Make sure you chill it before broiling. I made the mistake of taking my turkey thighs straight from bath to fryer, and it dried out the meat.

Jose posted:What veg is worth sous viding? I did the serious eats carrots but I don't see any benefit over just doing them in a pan in butter anyway considering that I still have to clean a pan after I really want to give carmelizing onions a shot since every time I try doing it myself (quickly) I burn it, or if I try the low temp method it takes hours which sitting on an open stove... nope... There's also garlic confit, which is a good sous vide prep, but it's a lot of garlic for a 2wk shelf life.

G-Prime posted:Probably not safe. If you didn't ice bath it, the time to get out of bacteria growth temps is huge. I'd toss it. 24hrs @ 133 should be effectively pasteurized though, right? Refrigeration right afterward isn't as fast as an ice bath but it should be adequately fast enough to chill and store a multi-day cook as long as they didn't let the meat cool into the danger zone during the (short) power outage.

You're almost better off just ordering <whatever> from Amazon and having it drop shipped to wherever you're staying.

Choadmaster posted:A friend and I made a practice turchetta yesterday that was goddamn amazing. We followed the serious eats instructions except we used my friend's usual thanksgiving turkey seasoning mix (salt, pepper, allspice, candied ginger, an apple slice, onion, cinnamon, rosemary, and sage) to make the paste, and we went with 145 degrees instead of 140. My only complaint about turchetta is running out of skin to make a second one. All the turkeys I've bought had enough skin for one breast + tenderloin to roll.

dalstrs posted:How come this doesn't happen in auto parts? Auto parts that get wet tend not to be fine electronic PCBs. The conformal coating used on PCBs for an immersion cooker would act like an insulator unless you put an additional external heatsink on the chip, which wouldn't get any airflow since it's inside the unit. One strategy that kitchen appliances use for their heat exchange is to mount the heat source on the inside of the metal housing, and then seal that compartment from moisture/air... That wouldn't work so great for a heating device that sits over a pot of hot water. I'm sure cost played a big factor in their design choices though. Personally I have two Anovas that I use ~1-2 times per week and they're both running strong. I'm still wondering what happened to the goon-related Mellow that was supposed to come out mid-this-year

Captain Bravo posted:The mellow comes out mid-2016, not mid-2015 Yeah, I'm thinking that new release date is a slip from the original plans but I could be wrong. Then again pretty much every kickstarter ever has been late. http://www.cnet.com/products/fnv-labs-mellow/ quote:This will be an expensive small appliance when it first hits retail. FNV Labs says Mellow will sell for $500 when it goes to larger distribution. It hasn't worked out the timing, nor the retailers for its wide availability yet, although a discounted $400 version is available for pre-order today by way of a limited production run set to ship in 2015 (a clever promotion that gives you a $20 discount for every referral that also places an order could see a few people get a unit for free).
