Few weeks back KenInk offered me a chance to buy one of their new sous vide units at a 50% discount. I’ve been toying with the idea for a while and almost bought one a few times...always backed out.
So I’ve been wanting to try it out but haven’t had the time. This afternoon I was at the store to buy some top round on sale and I see a couple manager specials...then a plan came together.
My setup
Initial test run

While it was getting up to speed.
Up to temp and in the bath for 45 min for the thin ribeye and an hour for the chuck eye.
While that cooks I spiced up the chicken.
Plus added another pack I had in the fridge.
Pulled the steaks, dried them off, and fired up the Blackstone. Then bumped the temp up for the chicken.
Steak was fantastic. My 15 yr old devoured both steaks after we all had a sample.
Chicken is a different story. Flavor is full, but the lack of texture is strange. I need to try to blacken them on the blackstone too for a little crust.
The 15yr old made some nachos out of the garlic butter.
The
Overall the unit performed flawlessly.
Took about 45 min to get to temp from cold water. Held within 1 degree +- the entire time, at 2 temp ranges.
