mrobisr its only paper unless you spend it!

I keep telling her that, but she is the saver of the family.

mrobisr then wrap it yourself, put a tag on it to you from santa

[mrobisr]

kyle that was the grinder.

Got mine on offer up for 50.00. Still in the box only does bluetooth though. Works really well. Patience on those sites can save a ton of cash.

samspade I bought mine right on the manufacturer’s website brand new. You can do bluetooth on mine, but also use the buttons on the machine. I used it with the buttons. .

[samspade]

Same here. Love it

[samspade]

mrobisr of course not. We want you to say… “Oh. That? We’ve had that forever. It’s just my first chance to use it.”

twilliams That looks fantastic!

[mrobisr]

Would you recommend the 12l or 16l tank?

[twilliams]

mrobisr I am that little devil on the right side of your shoulder saying…… do it! Just buy the Sous vide already! I was extremely skeptical to spend the money too but all I can say is wow. It does give the meat a different texture that you will need to get used to but it’s so easy. Put the meat in, let it do it’s thing, pull it out do a quick sear and bam your eating it. Is it a time saver?, all depends but definitely a tough piece of meat will be no longer with SV. I highly doubt I will use the crock pot for roasts again. But in all seriousness talk to wife and make the financial decision between both of you. I bet she would even use it how easy it is.

[twilliams]

mrobisr I don’t have a tank right now, I am using a tamale pot. I would say the bigger tank for big items then just use a smaller pot for steak or smaller packages.

[twilliams]

Surg hey not sure if you did the rib roast yet but I would trim the bones off in one piece, season with what you want, use butchers twine to put ribs back on roast, vac seal and Sous vide with ribs included, sear then remove twine and bones before slicing. Pics included please

[mrobisr]

twilliams i do most of the cooking, so if I want it she really doesn’t care. In my mind though it’s another piece of equipment that I’ll have to find a place to store it, but I’m sold now it’s just deciding on the model/tank, thanks for your advice.

[kyle]

mrobisr I didn’t get a tank either. I just used one of my smaller stock pots.

[johnsbrewhouse]

Surg Leave the bones on, just make a pad out of another bag and put it over the bone edges before you seal it to protect your bag, that way you don’t have to go out and buy bone guards for you bags. The bones do add flavor since the marrow cooks out while in the sous vide bag and if you use the juice from the bag, it make a great sauce.

[samspade]

I use a small cooler for single items and the snack stick cooler mod “that is posted somewhere here” for larger items.

[Randie N]

mrobisr buy it while it’s on sale for 50% or buy it when it is full price… tell her to choose which way is the best. Lol

[Randie N]

If you want to get into it to see if you like it the small Anova nano is in a package deal at Sam’s club with a container and lid with rack for I believe $100 and I think Costco has the regular Anova (not the nano) package deal for $150

Thank you, on the Anova site they have the precision and tub for 199.00 and the precision pro for 199.00 I’m trying to decide which one at the moment.
