"reverse sear" with "final elbow sprinkle" are the current literary terms that fall under the hipster classification. Sous vide is French for under vacuum. spooning garlic butter obsessively in a pan might be old school hipster.
Except he just blanket recommends against cold smoking. I think he's internet high and lawsuit shy. The kind of person that works on cold smoke techniques is likely the kind of person that understands process control just fine. I understand where he is coming from; just don't agree with it.
I work at a store that sells the Anova souS vide machine. I actually have one and use it almost every week. Rack of lamb comes out phenomenal too.
Mongo, I'm not racing at the moment. But I'd come to an event - give me a target with a little room to prep - and cook you and Evelyne and anyone else nearby a Sapsis-special pastrami or five at a racetrack WERA weekend. Guaranteed not-too-salty. Dave, maybe a cook-off for a WERA West race?
Sounds like fun, but I thought you were in Texas? You come back left-coastish? We are running some endurance races out in Texas, but some smoked meat in the July Buttonwillow heat sounds...sweaty. I'm there! <beer>
Reverse sear a hamburger correctly and you won't give a shit what group came up with it. Did one for the first time last week. Very good.
I use a $3 styrofoam cooler with a hole in the lid and a kitchen towel filling the gap. 24 hour ribs with almost zero water loss. It does leak a little after awhile so it sits in a soft cooler. It could sit in a sink or outside and be fine though... Water is still warm 12+hours later if I don't dump it after the cook.....hmm, maybe time to try a brisket or butt.....
Emil me a reminder to whichever you come to and I'll get you on the gate list. Whatever works for you guys, you know I'm in!
900w has been good for me. I do steaks and fish all the time. Salmon is amazing sous vide style. Probably heats up a little quicker than the 800w.
Best corned beef I ever had was Iron Barley(on Diners Driveins and Dives) in St Louis. Somehow they smoke it too. Was insanely good.
F$ck, I’m going to have to buy one now. It’s for a good cause, ya know so I can donate to aff through amazon.
