• xenforo has sucessfully updated our forum software last night. Howevr, that has returned many templates to stock formats which MAY be missing some previous functionality. It has also fixed some boroken templates Ive taken offline. Reat assured, we are working on getting our templates back to normal, but will take a few days. Im working top down, so best bet is to stick with the default templates as I work thru them.

So I just ordered me a Sous Vide cooker and was wondering who else uses them around here? Any tips or recipes I should try?

[ame="https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01HHWSV1S/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1"]Amazon.com: Anova Precision Cooker, WIFI 2nd Gen, 900 Watts: Kitchen & Dining[/ame]
 
Chicken breasts. Season, cook @ 140° for 60 minutes. Remove from pouch, pat dry with paper towels, sear in cast iron skillet with some oil for ~45 seconds a side and serve. Probably the best chicken boob you'll ever have.
 
Great for steaks, pork tenderloin, chicken breasts, reheating leftovers and more. The Anova app and Serious Eats give you a ton of useful info to get started, but it really isn't all that complicated. There are many recipes that you can easily adapt to sous vide.
 
I'll be honest - mine sits in the pantry and gathers dust. I may need to try it out some more...
 
I've been waiting for my Anova to arrive for three weeks now, hopefully it'll arrive before Christmas!
 
Congrats on your new Anova. I was slow to embrace the whole Sous Vide thing but I'm love it now. In fact I bought a 2nd one a couple weeks ago.

Chicken/turkey and pork loin/tenderloin are great. a 72 hour chuck roast is pretty amazing. Its a great way to reheat frozen leftovers.
 
Congrats and yes I too want one.
 
I like mine. In the winter I'll smoke extra roasts on the weekend and pull them early. Then sous vide them during the work week overnight for dinner.
 
almost bought a 2nd one on the sales. Very cool to use. I used a 65q cooler as the tub for my thanksgiving cook and I thought 1 unit might be a bit low on power, but once it got to temp, it held 147 nicely.
 
I am a Sous Vide nut, I have been using one for many years, was first introduced to it in culinary school many many years ago, before there were even home versions available and the best suggestion I can give to everyone is to download the app from polyscience for time and temperatures. It is not free, but very inexpensive, I think $5.99 and it is awsome. The only issue is that it is apple only so us android users miss out but it will show you things such as graphs that chart the safety of the cook as per the length of time at the prescribed temperature.

Many of the time and temperatures that you see are way out of line for what is really needed. Their app will ask for the type of meat, weight and thickness and will calculate your cook needs. It is the most accurate I have ever seen and probably the only one being used in most restaurants today.

Enjoy your new toys, if you really want a lesson on sous vide cooking with ingredients that most of us have never heard of or seen, read the book "Under Pressure" by Chef Thomas Keller, he is a sous vide wizard.

And in case anyone wants to look real smart, "Sous Vide" in French means "under vacuum"
 
Sous vide is an amazing technique. For those of you who haven't been impressed with it keep trying different recipes/temps. I have an anova and also ordered a joule a long time back.

I am going to do a duck breast dish tonight sous vide as well. I made this a week ago for the first time and my wife kept saying how much she loved it and wanted it again soon. When I did it the first time I pan seared the traditional method and cooked it perfectly and also SV'd one to compare. Everyone liked the SV duck better.
