I love the Wi-Fi. Nice to be able to get the water going before I head home from the trails/gym/whatever.

I thought it was a dumb-as-hell gimmick until I actually got the Anova. Having my phone go 'deep-doop, your water is ready' is actually a really handy feature. I do wish they'd make a $125 version without it though, I'd put up with a chirpy timer to save the cash.

The Anova works well and is very easy to clean. The only thing I would recommend is that if you have hard water, that you toss some vinegar in your cooking bath every once in a while, does a magnificent job of descaling everything (and scale build-up can block the temps sensor).

I will do this, our water is at 18 degrees hardness in Munich...fishtanks were a bitch to maintain, which is why I gave up that hobby

Got a pair of venison loin steaks, what's the temperature for medium rare? Or is there a different doneness that I should be aiming for?

131-135.

Venison tenderloin is already quite tender so you should just aim for 6.5 log decimation, no need to cook forever. 90 min at 131 or 36 at 135 should do it (that is cook time after core temp has reached target temp).

I am going to a BYOBeef BBQ tonight, if I sous viddled myself a nice steak, would it be safe to leave it in the bag for ~1 hour before searing it on the BBQ? I know about ice water cooling and storing, but I just need to bridge a gap of 2hrs max.

If it's already been puddled, I would absolutely eat it if I had to wait an hour or two to sear it.

Would it be foolish to attempt 72h short ribs in a ziploc instead of a vac bag? So far I've not even bothered to use zipclocs, just freezer bags that I clipped to the edge of my SV cambro, but max cook time has been 4h hours so far. Given that the cambro is somewhat shallow, I wouldn't even submerge the seal of the bag.

edit: some quick googling shows that not submerging the entire bag might be inadvisable due to bacterial growth towards the top. Still would be good to hear some goon experiences with this method.

Use a gallon bag so that you can submerge your food deeper while still keeping the seal clipped to the top of the cambro

be sure to use freezer bags as opposed to storage, storage ones aren't watertight generally.

Got it, they're quite heavy ones and good for up to 90° C so I hope for the best.

Ribs are in the water now, hope this will turn out to be a good Sunday supper.

If you have more bags, double-bagging for long cooks works fine and is worth it in my experience.

I ended used not viddling but made dry rub, got an amazing result because I pulled it off the bbq at just right time, medium rare with a nice rub crust.

Thanks for the advice, viddle thread goons!

The end result :

Pretty good. Outstanding flavor, but some tough bits remained. I might try a slightly higher temp/shorter time next time.

That's looks awesome.

How about lower temp, even longer? What cut is that?

Dry aged short rib, cooked at 54°C for about 70h. The texture of the leaner parts was super tender, but there was quite a bit of connective tissue left in other places which wasn't super pleasant.

Might try 62°C/48h next to see if that gives a more even result.

e: I can really recommend the pea puree/mash thingy as a quick side btw. Cook some frozen peas, drain, add butter, salt, pepper, fresh basil, some lemon juice, and then blend with an immersion blender. Add cream if you like (colour is brighter without, i used a little bit). Super sweet, nice texture and takes no time.

I usually do (139 or 140ish) 60c roughly for 72 hours. I did the 54 for 72 on my first batch and I guess my ribs were a little more fatty than usual, but it was a bit off putting, 145 for 48 is really good too but it way less steak-like.

54 C is in the danger zone. Seems like a bad idea to hold something below 131 F (55 C) for more than an hour or two.

I got me a brisket flat from Costco that I'm going to cook this weekend. I've only tried it twice, about a year ago, and came to the conclusion that I prefer temps around 155-166 for a more classically briskety texture.

That said, anyone have a favorite brisket recipe? It's been so long I've forgotten what I'm doing anyway.

Mexican folks often salt their beer - you can even find special flavored beer salts in gas stations and stuff.
