What did you eat last night for dinner? - Page 423

Just put Sunday's dinner down; beef cheeks. The cooking liquid is espresso, Aloha shoyu, EVOO with star anise and basil leaves. They are in the sous vide machine and will come out Sunday.

Damn, I really need a sous-vide machine.

Tilapia with a shredded potato crust. Not bad

i don't think i've ever had good tilapia.

currently eating wild rice with hedgehog mushrooms and swiss chard

assorted food for breakfast

Tilapia is completely tasteless so I do not doubt that statement one bit. Pretty! Gazpacho?

You can sous-vide at home with a large pot, water, and an accurate thermometer.

nah, leftover tomato soup :P

How would I keep the water temperature constant for elongated periods of time without a thermal immersion circulator?

^circulators circulate water. circulation is not 100% perfectly necessary for sous vide (in fact prolly unnecessary unless you want quick drastic temperature changes). you can make do with an insulated vessel (eg beer cooler) and a thermometer or a crock pot and a pid temperature cooler (eg souvidemagic)

It's not exactly the star of the sea, which is why I decided to have fun with it and put a funky twist on it.

X-posted. Huge brisket. Tried a new rub and modified the finishing sauce. Fantastic.

Tempura and beer battered cod, pale ale puré ninon, roast garlic mayo, triple fried truffle chips courtesy of the heston blumenthal method.

A few pages late, but that's seriously awesome. I've never seen white strawberries before.

Which machine do you have?
