I know the OP says 'go on ebay' for cheap bags, but could anyone point me to some tried and tested brands/sellers? running out of my foodsaver ones, and don't wanna pay a billion dollars when I can get the same thing for a reasonable price.

after a couple weeks of using my anova, the high points are : a. eggs. it sucks you still have to quick poach a 62.5 degree egg to set the white, but the eggs are phenomenal. I did a dozen 62.5's and my wife and I ate them all in like 4 days. it's cool to just have like eggs you know are already cooked perfectly onhand. it's like, making a steak? why not drop a 62.5 degree egg in the frying pan at the last second to go with? done. b. vegetables - it's nice to be able to perfectly cook a ton of vegetables really precisely with minimal cleanup. I blanched a mess of asparagus the other night, took ten minutes, everything was seasoned perfectly, and I could drop them all in an icewater bath to set the color without messing up any flavors or getting them watery. c. meat - it's set it and forget it. it's so awesome to be able to cook off a protein, drop it in an icewater bath, then just set it in the fridge for searing off later. it made confit so amazingly simple, which keeps for months. d. bulk - I haven't used it for this yet, but I think it'll come really in handy when I throw dinner parties. getting 15 duck breasts cooked exactly right is usually a challenge. with a circulator, gently caress, I barely have to lift a finger e. mess - it's wasteful to cook poo poo in plastic bags, but goddamn does it make cleanup easy... flavors are not that much different though. I feel like you need a vacuum chamber sealer to really do the cool stuff like 'compressed' fruit and all that. but ohwell, I don't mind.

Mons Hubris posted:Sorry but could you elaborate on these just a bit? How do you store and reheat the the 62.5 degree eggs to keep the texture right? And I guess really the same question for the vegetables and the meat. I have mainly been using my Anova to cook cuts of meat, but I would love to get more mileage out of it by doing some things like this in bulk. wookums already answered this, but just dunk everything in an ice bath after cooking. then to fridge. If you cook something to doneness, you have at least a day or two window to cook it off before having to worry about spoilage, so just pre-sousvide everything, rapidly chill it, pop it in your fridge, then sear/deepfry/whatever for a minute or so before serving.

I don't understand why it's so complicated. you cook something 'en sous vide' right? the verb is 'to cook' in common parlance you leave off the verb and just describe the more specific method in which you cooked something - ala "I sous vide'd some poo poo" in place of saying "I cooked something en sous vide"? I'm probably missing something

so I'm on board with 62.5deg eggs. how long are these things technically safe to keep around in the fridge? I tossed some that were three weeks old today, but wasn't sure if I was being silly or not.

You may ask why we established the company i the UK while we live in other places? The reason is simple: UK is a business friendly country and close to our markets. Almost everything, except for quality and manufacturing control in China, are done with computers anyway. We have our legal address and book keeping in the UK. Mansell & Co, Bishop's Stortford, is our accountant. It's close to the airport with Ryan Air also. Our bank is Handelsbanken, Bishop's Stortford. It has proven to be a very practical arrangement.

I'm really annoyed at "chefsteps". all their teaser recipes are overly complicated bullshit trying to modernize cooking 101. like, why the gently caress would you sousvide an egg at a temperature where time mattered (and which couldn't easily be reheated?) why not just poach an egg at that point, or why not poach off a perfect 62.5 deg egg like the rest of sane people, if you're set on sousvide? they posted an idiotic 'easiest garlic confit!!!' recipe a couple weeks ago that made me unsubscribe from their e-mails. I literally don't know what is easier than garlic confit - get some aluminum foil, stick a head of garlic in, add a dash of olive oil and salt, seal it up and roast in an oven for 30-45 minutes. I do it literally in 10 seconds as an afterthought any time I'm roasting a chicken or something. their recipe - "so easy!! done in 45 seconds!!" was to take a head of garlic, cut off the top, season it, get a perfectly sized microwave safe bowl, place it cut side down in the bowl, add oil, and then microwave, for 45........................................................... MINUTES. what the gently caress so naturally the comment thread was full of people going 'uhhh I thought you said it would be done in 45 seconds, is minutes actually right???' or 'I microwaved garlic for 45 minutes and now I have burnt ashes and my kitchen smells like poo poo. or "I microwaved for 45 seconds like the recipe says and all I have is raw garlic??" lol apparently they wanted you to microwave on low for 45 minutes but A. my microwave won't even do that, B. how the gently caress is that easier than just sticking an aluminum foil pouch in the oven, C. gently caress you for saying 'done in 45 seconds'. D. who the gently caress microwaves anything at all for 45 minutes??? gently caress "chefsteps." more like "cookingnub steps to try and impress the girlfriend you'll never get because you're a pathetic gently caress who buys immersion circulators and cooks recipies out of the french laundry cookbook instead of actually learning some basic technique." ok I'm done sorry

help me goons, you're my only hope I have lamb breast in my puddle machine. all of the internet says sousvide for 20h at 60 deg c. I only have 3 hours. I want this to work. current plan is to do it 3 hours at 75c, throw it on the grill, and see what happens. any advice? should I go higher still? 80c?

crosspost but, it worked out 3 hours @ 75c + 30 minutes slow charrin + glazin on the grill.  sliced it thin on the bias like I would skirt steak, and it was plenty tender. not falling apart or anything, but "fork tender" I guess. v. tasty.

I don't need to justify my expensive purchase here's the breakdown of what I use my anova for 50% : confit of duck, rabbit, pork 25%: cooking temperature sensitive meats (steak, duck breast, chicken, chops) to the right temperature 15% : cooking next level veg 10% : cooking 60deg eggs 0 % : cooking puddings/scrambled eggs/ whatever

blarzgh posted:I was already going to have charcoal lit for the grill, and the Anova had just finished the flank steak. Timing wise, it worked out to try it in the water, and finish on the grill; why make another pan dirty? but.... you can cook... a flank steak.... *and* a chicken cutlet.... on a grill... in less than 5 minutes? why the gently caress was the anova even involved? I get it for thick cut ribeyes or tenderloin or something where even cooking to a precise temperature is hard(ish), but pounded chicken cutlets and flank steak? literally I think last time I grilled a flank steak it was about a minute and a half per side max. a pounded cutlet is like 45 seconds per side maybe. I feel like you'd lose any sousvide benefit on a hot grill, unless you had icebathed them before throwing them on or something - otherwise you're probably overshooting your sousvide temperature

I don't know why you'd sousvide scallops either, but regardless, your steak example is also not great either. I won't even sear off a steak until I've icebathed it, I don't wanna overcook what I spent all that effort getting right. I'm sure there's a reason having two circulators would be beneficial, but I haven't encountered it in my kitchen yet. If it's a matter of just keeping something warm after it has cooked, I'll throw it in a pot on lowest simmer or something, personally.

theres a will theres moe posted:If you don't already know, find out how many circuits you have in your kitchen. Anova PCs draw up to 10 A I believe, so two plus a toaster oven or something will pop your breaker unless you distribute the draw across a couple circuits. actually seriouspost : this is realtalk I've popped a breaker at least 20 or so times using my anova on the same circuit as my convection toaster oven. I switch it to a different circuit, and then pop the circuit that my electric boil kettle is on. I use at least two of these tools probably every time I cook, so I have to consciously be like "alright, what can I plug this loving anova in to this time". edit : my house was built in 1915 and my electrical wires have some sort of fabric mesh braiding around them (whatthefuck, pretty sure I could die in a fire at any given second), so I'm blaming the house more than the anova mindphlux fucked around with this message at 06:06 on Jun 13, 2017 |

I cooked schnitzel for 12 on fathers day on an unfamiliar electric stove at a vacation house. my jager-mushroom sauce loving sucked because the person in charge of packing didn't fuckin pack the chicken stock - but made a roux and used some bullion and white wine, and worcestershire. searing off a million cutlets on 4 lovely electric burners and holding them in an oven goddamn sucked, but my takeaway was 'add enough salt, and anything tastes good.' I think my cutlets were all over but it literally didn't matter because it was salty fried thin chicken breast with some mushroomy sauce, and everyone loved it. protip : add more butter to the frying pan.
