Wow, who pissed in your cheerios today?

Pretty sure you just tried but were thoroughly denied.

Lulz. Says the guy that was so (mistakenly) offended at the term "pan reduction."

Very few things truly offend me: collar stays, butchering the English language, serving grapefruit on Sundays...

Pan reduction sounds like Black Friday cookware sale. It's a curious term, nothing more.

"English" lol. We won the war, it's American's language now.

Anova is digitally harassing me with black friday ads. I figure an immersion circulator / sous vide, is just going to sit in the drawer if I buy one. Anyone use and like them?

We won independence in 1836. Texas!

I don’t use it a ton, but it’s definitely useful.

Yes, I love my sous vide. For me it's best for ribs, steak and lamb.

 

[Piobaire]

Sous vide is just a fad and it will pass.

I use mine 2-3x a month at least. Using it today to do turkey thighs and legs.

One thing I like is that you can cook straight from frozen. So I'll buy a big pack of pork tenderloins (for example), half them, vac seal, and freeze. Then I can just pull out of the freezer, drop in the water bath for 90 minutes, and sear. It's enough for 2 with no waste.

I honestly haven't played around too much with mine outside of protein, though I keep meaning to.

There isn't a better way to cook ribs than sous vide.

Yeah, I'll buy packs of prime steaks at Costco, individually pack them with some aromatics, and freeze. Straight into the bath and you've got a nice meal.

For the level of utility, it doesn't really take up much space. I mean...I probably use it more than my stand mixer and it is a fraction of the size.

 

[Piobaire]

Okay, you guys convinced me...Imma buy one.

what i appreciate most as someone who occasionally doesn't have his shit together is the extra latitude to connect your timings. when i forget to mise something or don't time my sear prep correctly, the meat can sit in the bath for a little bit longer, no problem.
