When you guys are doing steaks in the puddle then searing them afterward, if you're aiming for an internal target temp of 135, wouldn't it be wise to sous-vide them to 130 and then sear? Surely the internal temp would raise at least a few degrees with the quick finishing sear, no?

I want an Anova but using a pot on my stovetop with my Thermapen, and the food in Ziplocs is working pretty goddamn well if I don't say so. Tough to justify $200 when I'm getting incredible results with what I already have!

Today I'm doing Kenji's sous-vide shrimp (with jumbo tigers, 6-8/lb) at 130 for 15 minutes, then I will sear them atop my Arteflame grill insert for my Weber 22.5" that's been heating up for a few hours now. It'll be served alongside a salad of some sort and arroz con coco.

Curious to know how the Short Ribs turn out. I saved some ribs from a Ribeye roast that I cut and I don't know what to do with them. Suggestions welcome.

Throw them in a smoker.

On the other end, Anova had a more basic version of this where you could ice bath your water and autostart a cook if it warmed up beyond safe temperatures. Guess what happened? They stopped supporting that feature and dropped it for... "more recipes in app"! :downs:

They probably dropped it for liability reasons.

I just did the 5lbs porkbutt Kenji has a recipe for. It'd feed that many people. It however takes like an hour in the oven after the puddle cook time. As mentioned I cut the salt to 2 tbs.

I did two 10lb pork butts with my Anova about a month ago for a party that I brought to 165 F over 21 hours, then I smoked them at 225 with Kingsford charcoal and sugar maple wood chunks until they reached 203 internal which was another 3.5 hours or so. They were unbelievable.

Got a big Foodsaver today. The instructions say to leave 4" of space from the stuff in the bag when you seal it, is this really necessary? Seems like a ton of waste off of a roll.

I put two 10lb pork shoulders into Foodsaver bags and sealed them yesterday. Into the bath at 165 they went for 23 hours. I come home from work today 30 minutes before they are to come out and I notice one of the bags has blown out. It's hard to tell, but I assume a tiny hole formed around the bone of one of my picnic shoulders and a bit of the liquid leaked out.

No harm, no foul, no weird smells and everything is cooked through. A soak of the Anova in CLR and vinegar rendered it brilliantly clean, and I threw the shoulders in my Weber Performer for another 3 hours at 300 F over Dragon Breath lump charcoal with a few chunks of cherry wood to get that quick blast of smoke and build up a nice bark before finishing at 203 internal.

loving magical stuff, my wife's coworkers are going to be blown away tomorrow.

I did some carrots in the puddle earlier and have some boneless-skinless chicken thighs in there right now.

The carrots I did with salt, pepper, butter and cumin at 185 F for 1 hour. The chicken thighs were mostly frozen and I threw them into the vacuum bag (both foods sealed with a Foodsaver) with a store-bought jerk sauce at 165 F for 2 hours to take into account the frozen factor, with 25 minutes left.

Super excited for the results.

Update: unbelievably tender and delicious. I blasted it in a 500 F oven for 15 minutes to crisp up the outside after it was done puddling. Not too salty either, I was expecting a total salt overload.

Paired it with Kenji's super crispy roasted potatoes and the wife and I crushed it.

Also interested in recipe/instructions.

I don't know of one personally, but the brine is just water, salt, sugar and nitrates/nitrites/whatever. They're commonly sold in vac pacs around here.

older eggs tend to have looser whites and will break easier. this is likely the reason there's a divergence texture-wise.

I'm convinced that this is the reason I haven't been able to do Kenji's hollandaise more than once successfully and I'm sticking to it.

This may be a long shot but I assume your vent hood simply releases the air to the kitchen not to the outside? If so check whether there is actually a filter in there. If not buy a filter inlay, it's cheap.
The tennant before me apparently did not realize the filter was missing because he never cooked. Don't ask me how I found out.

This was my thought as well. If the vent hood just recirculates to the kitchen and not outside (like in many apartments) you're just pissing oil all over the place, which would explain the problem.

I start with hot too. It definitely shortens the time to get the water up to temp. Even faster with the insulating factor of the pingpong balls.

How much do the balls help? I recall reading that they didn’t do much, but I can’t remember where.

If I'm doing steak where the water bath gets to 130 it doesn't matter, but if I need to hit, say, 185 for doing carrots or those Starbucks-style egg bites, it helps quite a bit.

I did 27 hour beef short ribs at 159 F. I had never done them before, so I just used salt and nothing else. The texture was perfect but next time I'll have to have a nice sauce to go with. All I did this time was reduce the bag drippings and use that as a gravy.
