It works well for chicken breast, which can be dry. For legs, you want crispy skin, which takes a while under the grill.

Anyone who criticises sous vide has obviously never used it.

"I do steaks on the grill and they're great. Therefore, anything else must be terrible, even though I've never tried it."

Apt that you reference primal ancestors, cos that's the level of understanding being applied by the technophobes. How's the x386 going?

What's the longest any of you have ever boiled a steak?

My folks left some frozen ones at my house (I reckon that's payment for using all of my propane) so I'm considering simmering one for a silly long time as an experiment just to see what happens to a strip after 24 hours or so...

I should also note that by "considering" i meant that I've had one going at 127° for about 14 hours already.

Hey @Splinty I’ve been experimenting with this. It’s a game changer and the only way I eat pizza now.


looks good. Your water bath looks a little hot. I would suggest bringing the temperature down and letting it simmer for at least 4 hours. Take it out and sear each side for about 15 seconds in a hot oil pan to get a nice char.

Tonight I prepped some steaks for boiling.

15 pounds of AAA Canadian Beef.




Cut into 16 steaks.



Bagged 14 for the freezer.






Going to boil up a pair of the sons of bitches tomorrow.

Anyone have any recommendations on a good circulator?

My shithead dog decided to chew up a bunch of power cords yesterday. I don't even know how he got to this one but now I need to replace a couple of things and fix some cords on things.

Why not just fix/replace the cords?

Also boiling meat is big gay, not that there's anything wrong with that.
