That would be silly. C. botulinum spores are literally everywhere, including on everything you put in your vacuum bag. Garlic is not exceptional in any regard.*

If you're storing any food in an anaerobic environment it can only be for a limited time at the right (refrigerated) temperatures - unless you can pressure-cook it (as in canning; to achieve temps able to destroy the spores), acidify it (as with jams, ketchup, or mayo), or keep it dry (dried herbs).


* Edit: Other than that people are more aware of botulism in regards to making garlic-infused oil. But sticking anything wet and nonacidic in oil for an extended period gives you the same problems.

Doing a 48 hour short rib and woke up to a punctured bag filled with water. How much of an effect on the finished product will that have, if at all? I'm guessing it was filled with water for maybe 4-5 hours after only being submerged for about 12. I'm just hoping I'm not going to lose a lot of flavor.

Sous vide on left, control on right.

165°F for 20 minutes. 3 minutes in a 550°F oven on one side, flip and top, 3 minutes broil on the other.

Definitely worth the experiment. You know how garlic bread can be pillowy? It's halfway between that and focaccia.

Might do canzones next.

Gadzooks! I'm terrified of this little child who is going to stab me with a knife. I must wrest the knife away from his control and therefore gain the upperhand.
I have been doing a lot of "big" cooks for friends and family and boy I am getting really tired of grinding pepper and sea salt but I do feel like freshly ground rules. Does anyone have any recommendations for grinders or something that make it easy to output a lot of ground pepper/seasalt quickly?

If you've got a standard refillable with a metal spindle, you can take off the end and chuck it in a drill.

You don't need to grind the salt. For pepper I have a unicorn pepper mill and it makes pepper faster than you'd think possible.

When I need to grind a lot of pepper I take the cap off the pepper mill and use a drill to turn the shaft. If the coarseness adjustment is important to you, this won't work well.

I have a Cuisinart spice grinder (a blade grinder) that I use for large amounts of pepper or any whole spice. It can turn things into a powder if you want. Because it’s a blade grinder it suffers from the same inconsistency that coffee blade grinders do but it doesn’t matter as much with pepper.

These are still cooking with no additional leaks but I'm still curious what the effect of the bag leak will be. I'm also curious if there are any food safety concerns I should have. Thoughts?

No food safety concerns. Seasoning will be altered but you probably retain all the benefits of the salt since you said it didn't flood in the first several hours.

Dry thoroughly before sizzling and season to taste!

I have an electric coffee burr grinder that I use exclusively (this is important) for spices. They are cheap on amazon and you do not need a fancy one. Thrown your peppercorns or whatever in, pulse for coarser grind or hold it down to get a fine powder.

Do you mean a blade grinder? Burr grinders aren't the cheap ones and they select your grind level based on a dial, not on how long you pulse them.

Neat. I wonder if there are any interesting flavors produced by prolonged periods of bulk fermentation just below the yeast die-off threshold. Maybe you could even eventually bread high temperature yeast using sous-vide?

But why would you sous-vide hexagons? That's way too complicated for such a simple dish that can be made effortlessly in any old pan in like 5 minutes...

A traditional round pan produces five uneven points on a medium rare hexagon, whereas sous vide will evenly cook through each side.

Anyone tried adapting Chicken Parm to SV yet?
I'm thinking butterfly, brine overnight (buttermilk, salt, garlic, black pepper, italian herb seasoning), then SV to 147 for 90m, de-bag, dry, bread, then finish fry before a quick oven trip for melty cheese goodness.

By the time you toast the breading fully, won't you have overlooked the chicken?

Maybe, but that can easily be avoided if I split the cook and crash/chill ahead of time.

Chefsteps does it for a whole bird, but obv. cutlets/bashed tits are more surface area, less density

Brine tonight, SV tomorrow, bread/fry/bake/plate Sunday.

I'm going to try the fridge crash method, and I got really lazy and didn't pound the breast cuts because sv will cook them all evenly.
