Sous Vide
« on: January 18, 2017, 09:56:42 AM »
I'm intrigued.  Especially now that a good device is now often around a hundred bucks.

A search showed a couple of folks here are using them. 

Pro's con's?

I am going to ignore this thread because I don't need another appliance in my kitchen.   :D

I have never seen anyone successfully win a cooking game show using one.  Pretty much if they go to the sous vide, you know they're going home.  That about sums up my experience...

Hmm.. well, something to think about. 

OTOH, I'm suffering from a bad case of G.A.S.

I use the oven for steaks.  275 degrees for as long as it takes for the interior to reach 125- 130 degrees (rare to medium rare).  Usually takes an hour or less.  Then sear in a pan. 

The steak is a uniform red or pink right to the edge and very juicy.

No need for another device.

Now, anyone use a Searzall?  I got one as a gift but have not yet used it.

I looked at some of the vids.  I can see how it would give you almost complete control on the sear.

That's sounds very practical and unadventurous.  :skep:
