So I didn't get a sous vide for Xmas so I'm buying myself one. I don't want a poo poo one but I don't want a million dollar one. Is Annova the way to go?

What about the Gourmia?

ARGH i want it but the wife will probably be mad!

Alright help me justify this.

One "problem" we run into is that I do the bulk of the cooking. I got to boxing classes that get done around 8pm and then start cooking. She gets hungry/hangry sometimes because it's near 9 by the time I'm done sometimes and she plans to be in bed soon to wake up early for class.


With SV, I can start it around 5 or so and it'll be done when I get home right? Low risk of overcooking?

Bagged one! What are some good hard to gently caress up SV recipes that will halt any doubt in my wife? Steak? What else? Chicken breast?

I have a leg of Lamb I'd like to try one day.

Ha-ha, she loves creme brulé. Now I have to get a blowtorch.

I just did 72 hours ribs a week ago with a cheap seal-a-meal.

Everything was fine.

I just did the same thing but with a 48 hour 140F cook. I'll let you know how it goes at least.

I bought the cheapo one linked in the OP for like 30 bucks. It's fine.

24 hours into my corned beef and it's s big puddle. No air though. It's more likely just the big salty solution it was soaked in and not bacterial, right?

48 hours @ 140 F

I mostly use the app for recipe ideas. Never to control the unit.

For what it is worth, I've been using a 17 dollar torch from harbor freight and it works just fine.

Some things (like pork ribs) take 12 hours so maybe?!

The Apple store sells ANOVA I believe.

Look for maple rosemary pork loin on the anova app.

I did 1kg of tenderloin for two hours last weekend and it was fine.

Loin is thicker though so maybe 3 hours?

Also if you can't get maple syrup you should riot or something , jfc.

I got one. Hope it lasts!

Yeah I've been using those recently (on sale) for days when I won't have a ton of time to cook.

They're not bad.

According to the coupons forum the Anova is 129 right now for the BT version so go get one if you haven't already, jeez!

TheReverend
Jun 21, 2005

I looked at that as an option and all the reviews were for folks who got one for free.

I'd say psy the extra 40 for the Anova.

Metal pots vent the heat if that is what you're asking. Your circulator won't have to work as hard and csn reach temp faster.

For my longer cooks , I cut the corner off the top of a cheap 20L cooler.

Anything people generally recommend off amazon? Most of my cooking will be for 2. Maybe some small roasts.

Just type in 'Cambro' and find something decently rated and about the size you think you want. 3 gallons maybe?

If they're vegetarians and not vegans, maybe crème brulé?

Just vacuum seal once! I've never had a vac seal bag fail, even after 72 hrs.
