It's viable, just not the greatest idea.

As my ~waifu~ is vegetarian, when we first started testing this we were doing short 2-3 week runs in my fridge and it didn't piss her off, so go buck wild.

Yeah, I mean my results weren't bad by any means.

Doing it in a dedicated fridge tends to yield better results (especially in the south where opening the fridge can instantly change the temp 2-3 degrees).

why is sous vide any better than just boiling whatever you're cooking?

DONT THREAD ON ME

because

a) it's in a bag so the flavor doesn't escape into the water
b) the temperature is strictly regulated so that whatever you're cooking reaches exactly the temp you want and doesn't go above it. then it reaches thermo equilibrium so the whole steak will be exactly medium rare or w/e. when you boil something it cookes at boiling temp which is way too hot for almost everything

its at a lower temperature and for a longer period of time so you can get exactly medium rare or whatever in a repeatable way. you also keep all the juices in the bag. its basically nothing like eating boiled meat like a retard

Project Update #15: The Sansaires are coming, the Sansaires are coming!
Posted by Scott Heimendinger ♥ Like
The long wait is nearly over, as the first Sansaires have landed in backers’ hands, and the rest are following shortly behind. Backers in East Asia, Australia, and New Zealand should expect units on their doorsteps within the next few days, if they haven’t arrived already. Our United States shipment is expected to arrive in Los Angeles at any moment, and our Europe and Canada containers are close behind. As soon as your unit ships, you will receive a tracking number via email. Once you you’re your tracking number, stalking your Sansaire’s delivery is highly encouraged.

Make your friends jealous.

Owning a Sansaire is a rare and coveted privilege, and we want to help you show off the product that you made happen. Post photos of your unboxing, the new corner of your kitchen dedicated to sous vide, or your first sous vide meal, and tag them with @Sansaire on Facebook or Twitter. We can’t wait to see (and share) the photos of the Sansaire in your own home!

The Sansaire Towel of Reference


To help you get started cooking right away, and as a thanks for your tremendous support, we’ve included the Sansaire “Sous Vide Towel of Reference” with each Sansaire we’re sending to our Kickstarter backers. The towel lists our favorite foods, temperatures and time for sous vide cooking (adapted to our personal taste, but with credit due to Modernist Cuisine). We hope it’s a handy reference tool, but by all means, feel free to frame it and hang it on the wall. After our Kickstarter orders have all been shipped, we’ll post a version of the towel online for you to download as a quick reference on your phone or tablet.

Unboxing Video, and a 67°C Duck Egg

Spoiler alert: This video shows us unboxing a Sansaire and cooking a duck egg at 67°C. If you want don’t want to spoil the surprise, resist the urge to click “play”. We’re working harder than ever at Sansaire headquarters to ensure that your orders reach you as quickly as possible. As always, should you have any questions, or should you encounter any problems with your new Sansaire, email us at info@sansaire.com.

you dont boil sv

what you could do to Fake It is get the biggest pot you have, get it to whatever temp you want, kill the heat, then drop a vacuum sealed bag with yo meat in and wrap a coat around it

That was the article that started me down this twisted road (well that and you can get ribeye for like $5 a lb from the farm where all the fancy meat places get it from then charge $12-13 a lb for it).

We went to the mini fridge because we wanted to ramp up the aging to the 45-60 day range. The last one we did was 55 days, and sweet god it was like nothing I've ever eaten before.
