New to the world of Sous Vide

kyle yes, it was 50% off. Originally $400 got it for $200. Couldn’t pass it up. Only thing that was disappointing was it doesn’t come with a tank for the water. Gotta find one, I’m using a tamale cooker for the roast I have in there now.

twilliams thanks. You happy with it? I am looking at them and wondering if the extra $70 is worth it to upgrade to the pro. Might pull the trigger on one when I get home from work. On the Avalon site they have free shipping also. Amazon is sold out

twilliams I would like to try one but bought a new stuffer this year, maybe next year I will pull the trigger on one.

kyle this is the very first time trying it, could let you know tomorrow after it’s done and I cut into it. I find the long cooks a bit strange. As with todays hustle and bustle I would think you would want to speed up the process such as air fryers do. But on the same hand if you preplan you just prep it then set it and forget it. With the pro you get Wi-Fi capability so you can watch it from anywhere you can connect on your phone.

bocephus the American way, plastic is fantastic.

twilliams Try not to go too overboard on the card, like to pay it off each month and not give them the interest. With Black Friday and Walton’s, I hit my max.

bocephus yes it got out of hand for me one point in my life. So much harder to pay it off then it is to put it on. Your thinking the best financially, good job. I was at one point $35,000 in plastic debt alone. That was a hard one to dig out of.

twilliams I am good at paying them off every month, had to pay interest once this year and my wife didn’t think we got the bill. Talked to the credit card company and tried to pay on line and it wouldn’t go through, bank said it was credit card side. I called them again and told them I had never missed a payment but they said there was nothing they could do; the whole bill was like $75 dollars for the month so the interest wasn’t that much but I just about dropped them.

twilliams well, I pulled the trigger, I couldn’t wait any longer. Plus when I got home from work, the wife asked what I wanted for Christmas, so I showed her and now it will be here in 3-5 days. Merry Christmas to me
hey vegetarians, my food poops on your food!

kyle My wife said my new stuffer was this year’s Christmas present.

bocephus That works out good. I would rather pick out my own gift anyway. I am a hard person to buy for and I think its a waste to buy gifts just for the sake of buying gifts. Merry Christmas

kyle I agree, sometimes I get my Christmas present in July if I find something I like then. Just my wife and I so though we celebrate Christmas and enjoy it we are not to stuck on having to have a present at that time.

I see they got the highlighted name of the original person that posted the thread function working. Thats pretty cool

First up is a pork shoulder roast, I cut the bone out and used the lower temperature setting for slicing rather than for pulled pork. I suppose a pork loin would be better for this but using what I have in the freezer. Looking forward to tomorrows supper.
twilliams I believe this is how Perry’s Steakhouse makes their bone in thick beautiful pork chop. The sous vide is an amazing thing, having perfectly cooked meats ever time is underrated.
-
The first Sous Vide meal in the books, the pork shoulder is definitely more tender than what it would be in a slow cooker.

GWG8541 Me too, I just finished lunch. I suppose it will help the digestion then!

twilliams Looks great, I am definitely having to get into sous vide one of these days. Maybe after Christmas settles down

twilliams Cambro 16 qt. square plastic bucket is what I use for mine for those small jobs. I put about 12 quarts of water in it, that seems to be enough to bring the level up have way on the sous vide and you aren’t heating a lot of extra water.

bocephus Me too. I have thought about it a lot, like a few other things. I wonder how difficult it would be to do it with just a big, high quality pot rather than an actual Sous Vide Machine & watch the water temperature with a thermometer? I suppose the issue would be in the set it & forget about it routine. You would have to monitor it more. Tell me if anyone has tried it like that. You know, it used to be that good cooks did not necessarily have all the fancy equipment, they just had a few good high quality tools & a strong desire to cook good food & use their imaginations. Technology is king a lot these days though, & sometimes for good reason, sometimes not so good.
