Sous vide question
-
twilliams I remember reading somewhere that for frozen things do time and a half what you normally would. I did frozen steak about an inch thick straight to the sous vide and just added an hour on. Turned out great. Hope that helps a little.
Surg it’s actually all done now. I did 160* at 1 1/2 hours. Turned out great.

bocephus Give that five thumbs up! Trying to get ready to make a crock full if I could get some cabbage at a decent price. Mine will not be ready for another couple months.

Surg it would be:
15lbs lean trim venison
7.5lbs 80/20 pork trim
2.5lbs pork fat
Excalibur Signature Smoked Kielbasa seasoning
Sure gel
Sure cure
40mmx18” inedible casing
All ground once with 3/8” big plate, mixed to evenly disperse then ground once with 3/16” small plate (I think those are the sizes of plates). -

My brother in law just got a ten point buck. Wants to process it together. Will be my first time working with venison so I may give this a shot.

If you like Italian seasonings/sausages make a 50/50 venison/pork Italian sausage and you will be amazed.

Got another sous vide question for you all.
Gonna be doing a rib roast and thinking of giving sous vide and sear a try. Got it dry brining with salt currently and plan to rub it and vac it. Debating whether to keep the bones on (it’s a 5lb two rib roast) while cooking sous vide or separating the rib roast off. Not sure it will make a huge difference but would imagine it would be easier to vac without the bones. Curious your opinions. -

GWG8541 I don’t know as I have never done sous vide, but I would keep the bones on as that is where a lot of your flavor is, in my opinion. I would gather sous vide would bring that in too & then you just need to sear it at high heat for a bit to caramelize the exterior & bring those flavors home.

You guys need to quit this… I have enough stuff now I do not need more equipment and the more you talk about it the more I want it. Just stop already, or maybe not, you decide.

mrobisr I was not sure about it when I first heard about it on this site. I have a kitchen full of gadgets I don’t use already, but thought one more wouldn’t hurt. Got the ANOVA PRO for $200 (half price on their site), and gotta say I like it. Trying shrimp scampi tomorrow.
