Well, the "source" seems like sound science. Pubmed is down it seems but I think this is the correct link

From the abstract for the paper.


Even if she has a valid source it is very difficult for a layperson to interpret scientific data and properly explain the actual or practical amount of risk, it is often very hard even for scientists who don't focus on specific study in their fields. I am not saying that it is not an issue or that she is wrong but just that her advice is not well informed.

I know I worded that weird but I wasn't defending the post or the hysteria. Regardless, my earlier point about that study being whole-chain effects (box/factory -> strong UV -> chemical washes to test for leaching vs. box->puddle for X hours to test for leaching) stands.

Pretty sure SubG is saying you two are not doing it right, if the ribeye is normal american thickness (euros tend to do thinner steaks) of 1-1.5" you are not pasteurising your food and might as well not loving cook it.

I understand wanting to pasteurize for serving other people etc. For myself I've been eating a lot of rare to bleu meat recently (not ribeye tho)

How is it being dramatic? Don't SV it, sear it and eat it.

That's real gross but a far different situation than "if you don't pasteurize your steak why even cook it?".

I guess I should've said, if you're not gonna pasteurize why worry about the time it takes? You're certainly not cooking anything.

Actually for the given time and temp I've specified I generally get very good results on softening up the connective tissues. Instead of tough fibrous bands of muscular fascia I've got muscular fascia that's edible, just a little bit chewy.

3h@135F is going to do dick squat to connective tissue, a ribeye doesn't have enough connective tissue to make a difference regardless. The fact that it's edible vs. not has to do with the cut not the time.

Any reason outside of convenience? It could be a fantasy world, but wouldn't ~$20 worth of heating elements and a ~$15 dollar pump do the same thing?

You need a PID controller, or an arduino and SSR and programming chops. The real magic is the control feedback loop, not the heating element or pump.

e: DERP, didn't see the context of your post.

Honestly, just get the integrated package, most heating elements like that break down very often, the pumps might last longer but finding one that won't break down at higher SV temps is going to be hard (or expensive).

Then again, now we have to get into a holy war dictating that the black Anova is the best Anova, because it is.

It's definitely possible and even probable that it can be done safely but I would personally be more comfortable monitoring the center with a probe thermometer until it came to temperature and then following the FDA pasteurization guidelines for whatever temp I was shooting for (http://www.fda.gov/Food/GuidanceRegulation/RetailFoodProtection/FoodCode/ucm186451.htm#part3-4) or serving immediately if I did not want pasteurization (e.g. fish and very rare meat). If you don't reach 131F in four hours then I wouldn't eat it but in all likelihood that probably won't be an issue unless you're cooking some huge roast.

There are plenty of references that argue that the FDA guidelines make no sense. What they want you to perform a 6.5D reduction which can be done at lower temps (thus the pasteurization charts).

My easy chicken plate is doing curry. The proper way to do it is to cook the curry sauce and the chicken separate but my lazy version is to shove everything in a bag (diced chicken brests), let it rest overnight in the fridge then vizzle it while at work at 140F.

I do something similar with pork using Japanese Curry recipes.

There were two posts on the previous page regarding broken Anovas. It happens. I'd say the relatively few reports we've seen about broken Sansaires puts it on par with the Anova so far. It's still a personal preference thing.

To be honest the Anovas reported were:
- a problem that can be easily caused by mishandling or shipping issues (bent impeller to the point that it was stuck)
- problem after at least a few hours of operation

No one has reported receiving an Anova with half a missing display (pixel wise).

And I'd actually expect the anova to have more display issues than a sansaire, considering it's a full fledged (albeit low resolution) display.

The Sansaire is also very quiet, but as soon as it gets up to the temperature set point, the pitch of the impeller motor starts pulsing up and down as the heater is cycled on and off. It's presumably caused by a slight voltage drop, but it really strikes me as a rather poor electrical design choice. It makes an otherwise very quiet appliance significantly more obtrusive in a kitchen. Good to hear the Anova doesn't do it.

For what it's worth, my Anova does it but only when it's plugged into some outlets and not others, 40 year old wiring ahoy.

Finally tried s-v boneless skinless chicken breast. 140* for 2hrs. tried to brown it a bit before slicing and adding to a salad.

Is there any way to improve the texture of this? I like how juicy and tender it was but it didn't really have the texture I would have preferred.

Did you chill them before searing? I'd do 139 then chill a bit before searing and see how you like that.

Do not puddle ribeye at 136f for 8 hours, it will be dryish.
130f for 4 hours is the only way.

8h and 136f made the rest of the rib divine though. Better than ribeye at 130f.

I guess the conclusion is that you should only puddle uniform cuts of meat ?

No it's the 8 hours where you hosed up, I feel 2-4h at 135 would probably be your best bet for your taste.

Could also do it the other way around, cooler temp, take out the rare stuff and quick-chill, raise temp, take out the medium stuff and quick-chill, finish well done stuff, turn water down to rare temp and reheat.

The time it'll take for centers to reach temperature will be much much shorter than from-scratch, and you'll already have pasteurized from cooking at a rare temp.

Clever device, congrats and good luck!

That said, how's the power usage on that thing? Being (apparently) uninsulated I have to imagine keeping that water mass <40 all day (and then heating it all up!) isn't particularly efficient.

Double wall makes it pretty much the same as a coleman cooler. Or do you think most colemans typically used for SV are full of insulation?

edit: hrm, new bells and whistles are all nice, the new interface is nice, but I can't help but think that the 20% heating power drop alone would justify the 20% price drop of the end product. I feel pre-gypped. At $129 it's not that bad a deal, at the end price though...

It's becoming increasingly common for well-established companies to drum up funding for new products or product revisions on Kickstarter instead of going through traditional financing. Make of that what you will, I suppose.

It's market penetration research, free marketing and tooling financing with practically zero risk to the company, win win.

It's specially the case for this Anova, most/all the research is done, there are several working prototypes (enough to ship around for testing to people in the industry and drum up support) and it's from a well established company.

And Jeff is a cool guy that answers my emails:
