I use my sous vide to defrost stuff more than anything now.

I got one of those"water oven" things back in like 2008.... it's still going... it's just basically a self-contained unit with no circulator.

Sous vide works up to maybe 10 degrees F below boiling, but obviously much easier to do if you have an insulated vessel. This means you can cook any meat to tenderness if you want, including pork butts or whatever.

Other things that I like to cook sous vide that aren't necessarily talked about all the time:

- Carrots are super tasty, you can enhance the sweetness a bit and keep them with just a little bit of bite. Pretty hot (~185F).
- Potatoes for mashed potatoes similarly need to be cooked hot but it's pretty helpful if you are cooking 10 other things on Thanksgiving or whatever, since you functionally can't overcook it. Plus they end up perfectly uniformly cooked, which can make it a smoother mash.
- I cook salmon all the time, but it's not for everyone. The temperature to get salmon that nice "medium rare" where it's super tender and just flaking isn't hot enough to even sanitize the meat (~122F), so you're microbiologically eating it raw, but man I love it.
- Some people like to use it to speed up infusions, like if you're making limoncello or something
- Top round makes awesome sandwich meat, just make sure you have a really sharp knife

I'll contribute to meat contamination derail with some home-made cursed images:

The point of cooking meat like chicken to 160-165°F is that harmful microorganisms are killed in <1 minute. This is pasteurization. The fun thing is that you can theoretically get the same result by cooking at a lower temperature for longer.


Back in August I put some chicken thighs in my sous vide at 135°F and let it go for 2 hours.


Mmmm... perfect medium rare chicken, though I admit the texture is not something I'm used to.


Ended up putting it in a salad.

Since I'm posting in September it's evident that I didn't die from this.

I think I'm a doctor, but that doesn't make me a doctor. This fancy avatar does.
One of the uses I've gotten from my sous vide is low temperature canning.

So instead of plopping my pickles into a very large pot of violently boiling water for 5-10 minutes, I can lower them into some 180-182 F degree water for 30 minutes.

The advantages is that the lower temp can help keep the pickles crunchier/less mushy. I also find a tub of 180 F degree water, even hanging around for 30-40 minutes, warms my kitchen up less than a giant pot of boiling water for ten minutes, since there's a LOT less steam. And since most pickling is done in fall when it's probably still warm out, this is a welcome advantage ( though I've also been know to do t pickles in boiling water using an outside propane burner. )

The low temp method IS approved for high-acid foods, like pickles.

That's time at 135. It also takes time to get to 135. In fact literally the article you took that from recommends adding an hour.

2 hours could be fine, but it's an unnecessary risk.

That time is also for chicken at a 5% fat content rate. Thighs are usually a bit above that, but I don’t know how that affects the numbers.

"Maybe some dolphins have sex for pleasure."
imo the biggest issue is that the seriouseats page is citing the USDA number of 136º, and Android Apocalypse claims to be cooking at 135º. 68 minute cooking time plus 52 minutes for the chicken to rise to temp is probably fine, but given the exponential increase in required time with the drop in temperature, the extra degree (+/- whatever the sous vide error is) would definitely make me nervous. My guess is it was probably fine, but it's still not a risk I'd be willing to take, especially given what the payoff is.

I bought some extra coveralls, surplus stuff from varusteleka.



And two new 5AH makita batteries. I've had the same two 4AH batteries since 2014 for my tools now. Last year one stopped charging and started swelling so I got rid of it so I've been living with just the one old battery and swapping it between tools. But now I found them at a decent enough price (59€) so I got two. I am not a battery tool convert because I don't like being dependent on these things or find dealing with cords that big a deal. So I have lots of corded tools and pneumatic ones, mainly my drill and impact that gets cordless.

And piece of art I somehow did not notice the nipple on until I had already paid for it. Now it's all I can see. And yes, based on where the signature is and the hanger on the back, that is the correct orientation. It is also huge, canvas is marked 80cm x 100cm on the back.
