I honestly prefer using copper pans instead of cast iron. Very nice and conductive. Gives my meat the nice bold flavor and shape no other pan could deliver.

I got super tired of seeing your avatar throwing those fuckin' glasses around in the astrology thread so I fixed it to a .jpg
I like cooking burgers in cast iron. The dramatically higher emissivity means that it cooks a little bit of the inside of the burger. Meanwhile, the lower conductivity prevents it from burning while you get a nice medium rare. Copper makes good burgers too, but cast iron just edges it out, IMO.

Cast iron and copper serve different purposes, even though they will both work for some applications. Cast iron is a pile of heat whereas copper is very responsive heat.

I'm starting to enjoy living in a culinary wasteland where nobody eats anything that isn't beef or chicken breast because

:frogsiren: ducks were cheaper than chickens at the grocery store :frogsiren:

My sous vide controller is showing up any day now and I have two young ducks in the freezer. I'm thinking about cutting the ducks up, saving the breasts for myself, and doing the wings, thighs, and legs confit to take to my friend's house for (real) Thanksgiving dinner this weekend.

Is this a good plan for cutting my teeth on sous vide?

It would probably work ok. The first thing I did was make a dozen poached eggs in the shells. These are awesome and you can keep them in the container, drop them in a cup of hot water for a minute or two then crack open and have on toast / salads whatever.

Habanero jelly with a little maple syrup is a pretty good finishing sauce for pork, actually.

One of my favorite things I've ever made was an awesome sriracha - maple glaze for buttermilk battered chicken wings. It's so good they still haven't taken it off the menu after firing me 6 months ago.

Are you going to actually confit them sous-vide, or just cook them? If you want to get the traditional confit texture you'll need to do them at really high temps, and you're more likely to split your bag.

See this is why I ask questions. I'm new to all of this - I've never done sous-vide and I've never made my own confit. I got pissed off last week because my new city doesn't seem to sell duck confit in any grocery store, and I impulse ordered a controller. Gonna do some reading and report back. I just got the delivery notice that my package will be available for me to snag after work tomorrow.

Ok, I've read a few recipes/methods for doing confit sous-vide, and I didn't find any surprises. So, are you saying that I won't be able to use a ziplock to reliably do the legs at 75-82c?

There's more risk than Ziploc bags at lower temps or vac bags at high temps, but if you clip the seal above the waterline (and use freezer bags or other heavy-duty equivalent) you should be ok. Check whenever you pass your setup. Just remember that it won't keep as long in the fridge as vac-sealed confit legs will and you'll be fine.

I disagree about texture, I do duck confit sous vide all the time and have excellent results. salt box and season legs for 4-6 hours, and confit at like 80c for ~2 hours.

I'm still honing in times and temperatures, but that's my basic method.

edit this isn't with a bag though, I foodsaver vac seal

The habanero jelly is peppers, vinegar, sugar, pectin. Some folks prefer to throw in milder peppers to take the edge off the heat but I make it with straight habs because I like the flavour. You should be able to use whatever brand of pectin you can pick up locally, and just follow the instructions---different pectins require different boil times, liquid proportions, and poo poo like that, but it's all simple poo poo and it all produces pretty much the same result.

I usually go something like 5:1 hab jelly to maple syrup when I'm using it as a finishing sauce, but it's really just something you can eyeball/gently caress with to taste.

I loving love habanero and mango jam, and mangos have plenty of pectin as is, try it some time.

It might work! I've had the heavy duty ziplock bags split on me at higher temps. I'd double bag it if you were going to try it, either with ziplock bags or foodsaver bags.

80c is the normal ballpark temp for traditional confit, though. You could also render the fat at a way lower temp, but it wouldn't turn out the same.

Great! I'm going to try it tomorrow or Friday. I'll report back, maybe with pictures. My plan is to do a double bagging of some sort because I'm paranoid, with the seals somehow kept above the water line.

Get some bulldog clips and clip the bag against the side of the pot, or put the seal over the edge and put a plate on it.
