53CPlanning to sous vide a couple steaks tonight. Anything I need to know?
I don't wait, I just dump it in.Waiting for the water to get to temp has to be the worst part.
Perfect medium rare, good sear on the outside. The steak itself wasn't the best, but that's the fault of the meat itself. It was grocery store steak on the Sunday where they were closed the next day so selection wasn't as good as it could be. Will definitely do it again. I'll make sure to use just enough water to cover the meat next time as I had definitely used way too much water and it took over an hour to get the water up to temperature.I don't wait, I just dump it in.
How was the steak?
Believe it or not. I takes a crock pot a while to heat 6 liters of water from 14 degrees to 53.an hour to heat water to 53c? WTF???
Ah I didnt notice that it was 6L you were boiling, makes sense now.Believe it or not. I takes a crock pot a while to heat 6 liters of water from 14 degrees to 53.
I’m popping my cherry with an Outside Round Roast.
Searing it.
Toasting some garlic and herbs de Provence.
Throwing it in the bag and vacuum sealing.
I’m sous viding Baby!
Yeah my wife brought a couple of cheap roasts home that were on sale. I’m going 30 hour. I put plastic wrap over it to stop evaporation. It just got up to temperature now.Is this real time?
I would put some tinfoil over that pot to make sure the heat stays even.
Isn't that like a 30-hour recipe? LOL
Strong start
LOL crazy folk
wtf

I am an open fire guyCome to the dark side. I'm going to make something with mine in the next day or two just to bump this thread
Makes sense. I’m also a little worried obout plastic wrap somehow getting sucked into the unit.I would still use tinfoil. You want to make sure the heat is as evenly distributed as possible, and while I don't have any evidence for this, I'm sure tinfoil does this job better.
no plastic on meat....ooopsMakes sense. I’m also a little worried obout plastic wrap somehow getting sucked into the unit.

No. The meat is sealed in a temp resistant plastic bag.ditched plastic right?
