Do they all come out smelling weird? or just the roasts? 30 minutes is not long enough for any off flavors unless the meat is spending an inordinate amount of time outside of the sous vide bath.

dalstrs posted:I think it is a design flaw in the current stick machines. If it is going to sit above steaming water the top part should have some sort of water resistance to protect against it. It's the delicate balance between keeping the electronics cool and keeping condensation out without using ugly/expensive heatsinks.

Steve Yun posted:I have a circulating setup and a still setup. I prefer the circulating setup because it heats up the food faster, but one advantage of the still one is that there's no turbulence to beat up delicate items. On long term cooks (2 days or more) the white label paint that's on foodsaver bags starts coming off due to the constantly moving water, mucking up the inside of the circulator. That's at least not a problem on the Anova (anovae? Anovaii?), if you don't want circulation remove the bottom, if you want less circulation aim it directly behind itself against the wall. The reason I prefer my Anova to the demi I got rid of is counter footprint for most usages. I usually just use a smaller cambro for my usual two servings (it can fit up to 5 smaller servings for when I meal prep) and it has about half the footprint of a demi. If I need more volume (for yoghurt for example) I grab my larger cambro.

Sportman posted:What size is your "smaller" cambro? I've been using a 12 quart stockpot (with a plastic wrap / foil cover for longer cooks) and I think its time to step up my puddle game. Usually I am only cooking for 2 people, so I'd like to get the smallest thing practical. It's reads 7.3qt at the bottom so I guess it's an 8qt one. Honestly could be even smaller.

Subjunctive posted:Yeah, it's a thick chop basically. 65C for 90 mins is what I would do, I think. 2" requires 2hr @ 65 to pasteurize... Personally I'd do 2:30 @ 60 if I was in a hurry or 5hr @ 55 if not.

It also requires quick chilling to be safe otherwise the food will coast through the danger zone again.

Dane posted:When doing steaks, how long in advance would you say I can s+p & bag without curing the meat? I'm buying a large hunk o' beef and portioning it into steaks. Don't S+P in the bag if it's going to be stored for any amount of time. I don't salt meats in the bag when doing SV unless I am cooking it right away. Never pepper, I do that after the sear. This is strictly based on my own experience and not proof incontrovertible that it's the one true way, I don't want to start a religious war.

What's the go-to circulator for restaurants now a days? I see units from Vollrath, Fusionchef, Polyscience, etc at the high end but am not sure what their track record is.

cyxx posted:Are those the kind of jars you would need to suck the air out of? And are those lids reusable? (I feel like the little seal will wear out eventually) The seal becomes unusable after a few cannings, but it's the heat that does most of the damage, so if you're just vacuuming they last a while. They are pretty cheap to replace though (and you can get non-split lids also in plastic or metal).

Sextro posted:Maybe its because I never had an app so I didn't keep as close watch on my temps, but is it normal for (in an 8 qt stainless stockpot as a vessel) the temperature to swing +/-1.5ish degrees from your set temp? Just watching it try to settle at 167 it'll slowly inch up to 166.4 before jumping to 168.5 then as it steadily drops back towards 167 it'll jump again this time down to as low as 165.5. Is that just too small of a vessel to hold a temperature steady? This is with nothing in it, just preheating the water. Is it an Anova? Is your temp probe dirty?
