You can marinate during, but trying to do this for 48h without a proper setup is a bad idea, get a cooler and try cooking a steak or something leaner s-v instead.

Can I get more details about why it wouldn't work? What is it about leaner meats that makes it easier? Why would a pot on a stove with regular checking not be as good as a beer cooler?

You cannot maintain the accuracy needed. You're not cooking at 212 F where you can just keep the water simmering, you're cooking at 135 F and keeping a pot of water or a cooler at 135±0.1 F for 72 hours on a stove is impossible. You can keep it at ±2 F in a cooler for an hour, but that's only going to work for eggs, steaks, seafood. You can do sous vide at 212 F on the stove top for something like confit, if you want, too, but hotter temperatures increases in bag evaporation and weakens the bag seals so the hotter you go the more you risk a bag blow out.

Edit: I suggest you read a bit more about what exactly is going on in a sous vide environment because it seems like maybe you don't really get what's all going on when one puddles. here: http://www.douglasbaldwin.com/sous-vide.html

The reason that a steak/seafood/an egg are doable in a cooler is because they only need to get to the temperature you want but they don't need to stay at that temperature. Lean cuts are okay because you don't have any collagen to breakdown into gelatin, which is what you're doing by cooking shortribs for 2 days.

No. Stay home, take plenty of fluids, and rest. This is not the time to typhiod mary that poo poo and get the young ones sick too. They tend to be walking germ factories. It's not about you getting them sick, it's about them infecting you with the latest super flu that is the latest strain in their incubatey little bodies. It's worse than 'Con cold.

Seriously though. Having a sick kid after a holiday because some relative decided to be all gung-ho about FAMBLEE TIMEEEEE sucks all kinds of rear end. Stay home, and keep the germs to yourself.

I've had the flu since Tuesday. Woke up this morning at 3:00 feeling like I'd fellated a barbed wire fence, and I've spent the time since popping NyQuil, drinking tea, and being angry. Normally I'd be spending 6+hours every day this week at my parents' helping mom get everything ready, but instead I've been down with this plague and my crazy aunt has been pressed into service instead. Maybe it's a good thing I'm still too sick to go see what atrocities she's visited on my favorite family holiday meal.

Well people please have an extra couple of drinks for me today while I mourn the bottle of South African Pinotage that won't be deployed to best holiday effect.

We are all drinking from the highball glass of ideology.
Our assignment for thanksgiving this year is to bring the wine, a couple of desserts, make the rolls and a stuffed mushroom thing up at the ranch. Me Ma has the turkey in already I believe, and I'll take that over when I vet up there. Then a bunch of traditional sides to get ready and a lot of cocktails to mix before supper time.

In all actuality, thanksgiving is one of my favourite days all year.

We have yanqui friends who have invited us to their country place for Thanksgiving. I've been asked to make some bread and, if I don't mind, cornbread. Actually, I'm delighted to be asked and to do something new. I am, shamefully, using my bread machine for the first time in about a year to make a brioche, but that's for a bread and butter pudding with custard, brandy butter, and sultanas steeped in calvados. We are also making a pilaf with bulgur, spiced fried onions, Harissa and balsamic roasted tomatoes, spinach, and a yoghurt-garlic dressing.

The greatest thanksgiving film is the awesome Addams Family Values:

I forgot my sister doesn't cook so it has mostly fallen on me, which is fine but I wish I had brought a knife and some other gear. I got most of my cutting done with a Spyderco rescue knife.

In super cute news, my 12 yo niece is hugely into cooking so she has been helping. She saw me cooking the turkey neck and giblets and for gravy and said "Is that the heart? Can we eat that?". I said sure and we ate it. She loving loved it and then we ate the liver and the gizzard. The neck she was not a fan of however. I told her that next time we can cook them with some butter and white wine and she agreed that the heart was a little tough.

Work was...special. At least I got holiday pay out of the day, and I'm at almost 2 hours of overtime for the week (in a corporate owned fancy grocery store no less) which makes it better. My area was the busiest today out of anyone, except our 'gourmet case' where people get like, meatloaves, chicken salads, that kinda thing. 20+ omlettes in 2 hours with only two butane burners, plus waffles, crepes, and sandwiches. Goddamn. But that sweet overtime makes up for it, really.
