Does sous vide really get you pussy though? I mean, I have gotten pussy with spaghetti, tuna and homemade tomato sauce. It's good, but I think something else was the deciding factor.

I might treat myself to one today. I'm dieting hard and it sucks balls

I probably should be as well. If I didn't keep hearing about how bad it is I reckon I might've been already :)
Don't do it.

In all seriousness, my wife is great but marriage is a con for a guy. No benefits, only risk.

I didn't read the whole thread so...

If you do this when do you sear it? After it's cooked?
Yes. Some people pre sear but I don't. Take out once it's cooked, dry it with a paper towel, then sear on super heat. Some chefs even use a blow torch.

This dude uses a torch on this steak, here's the adventure time video so it makes sense.

Ok, my equipment has turned up to further this experiment. I bought some vacuum bags and a thermostat and I'm currently cooking a cheap rump steak in my rice cooker. After a quick play, I found there is a little overshoot with the cooker, so it gets warmer by a couple of degrees when the thermostat switches, before starting to cool. I've got the steak at a stable range of 55C-58C. In 2 hours I will give it a quick sear in the pan and eat it.

Where you get this thermostat? I'm struggling to get the terminology right into Google to find one...

I had such high hopes for you until I saw you promoted boiled steak. Wish I stayed out of this thread forever.
As long as you live in a place that gets fake winter, you aren't allowed to criticize me for a lack of wanting to grill during inclement weather. How dare you.
