Thanks for this wonderful and informative video ! It is possible to suggest or make a special video on cooking a Sous Vide dinner with courses cooked for similar temperature and minimise time & effort ? Thus lazy dinner with minimal effort :)

Guys, I’m having issues with Bluetooth disconnecting and circulator turning off. If it’s a shorter cook and I’m home keeping an eye on things it’s not that big of a deal. But last night I began a 24 hour cook and woke up to 106* water. I have no idea how long it was off. Theoretically, if you’re doing a 24 hr cook, you should be able to go out for the day, or go to work, or go to sleep. Now I’m not sure i can trust it. Thoughts ? Ideas ??

Cute couple, really good advice! I cook my sirloins over night; (maybe it's the meat but) they never get mushy and are SO good! They are SO good, in fact that I usually don't bother to sear -- I have both a torch and cast iron pan, but -- I don't mind that they look a bit anemic; I dig in... often standing over the kitchen counter! ()In fact, your vid made me think I should TRY again searing -- as I haven't bothered in probably ten years!!

Only used about 6 times so far but food turning out great. kzfaq.infoUgkxK2YRU9uBOXzuIEV660Qo3sX7dJDJLg72 Nice tender roasts. You do want to get a lid to go over your stock pot to keep water from evaporating. I've used it for 6-48 hours with lots of luck. A lot is trial and error to figure out since thickness and cut help determine the best time. 135 always gives a perfect med (pink all the way through). I cooked frozen solid 3 1/2" roast for 48 hours ... it was so tender its almost falling apart. Nice to put it in and just forget about it, with silicone lid I didn't have to add water at all during 48 hours.

The container is plastic, the bag is plastic and the water will be at high temperature. Won’t chemical from plastic leak into the food? Or do you cook at a low temperature for a long period of time? Sorry but I'm a newbie to this sou vide technique. I got an Anova as a gift and haven't opened the box yet.

@jakethesnake9528 2 жыл бұрын

Which way are the results better with seasoning; using vacuum bags or Ziplock freezer bags or is there not any difference? For example when using dry herbs, it would seem the herb seasoning would only be on that particular resting spot on the meat, if using the vacuum method.

It's far preferable to position the IC in the center of the short (or long) side wall of your container (not in the corner). This increases water circulation by 100%, saving electricity and extending the life of your IC device. 😊

@tayrelramad 4 жыл бұрын

Great work and advice... keep it up ... does sous vide make a normal steak better and more tender (not a prime or premium grade).

@KindofCooking 4 жыл бұрын

Thanks for watching! Most definitely! Funny thing is that I bought cheap steaks for my last cook and they were awesome. I think that's one of the biggest pros for the sous vide. In the roast beef (not the prime rib) episode, I tried to buy the cheapest cut of meat I could find to make a good roast beef - it turned out pretty good. Not to make you think like it's prime rib or anything, but considering the price and the cut, I would say it was worthwhile. Depending on how big and which cut, time and temperature work together to tenderize. If it's a tough cut I will usually cook it for longer to tenderize. There are people who make a prime"fib" where they use a chuck roast like a prime rib in the sous vide. It all comes down to time and temperature.

Fantastic!...what about the marinate, is there anything we should be put in with meat to sous vide?

@KindofCooking 4 жыл бұрын

Great question! In general, I usually add salt to my meat before the sous vide. Other than that, it really depends on the recipe. You can go as crazy or as simple as you want. For a good cut of steaks I keep it super simple so that I can taste the meat. For other recipes, I do cook in a marinade such as for the viet pork chops, chinese bbq pork. At times, I will add enough marinade to poach, such as for soy sauce chicken, or japanese cha siu. Check out some of those recipes on our page if you haven't done so already. There are some things you should be mindful of when marinating though. Using something that is acidic paired with a long cook time could make your meat mushy. There are a number of tips here and I'll include this in our next video. Thanks for bringing it up. Hope this somewhat answers your question. Let me know if you have anything further.

How to set temp

@jimi_raymondo4269 3 жыл бұрын

Hi Carmen and kevin, Great tips! Can i ask you something? Im planning to give someone a steak that i sous vide. I will put it in the cold water bath to jump start the cooling process and freeze it. I want to give the steak frozen. What is the best way to finish the cooking if my friend doesnt have a sous vide machine to reheat it before searing it for serving. I hope you can reply. Thanks

@KindofCooking 3 жыл бұрын

Great question! Never really thought about that... here's something interesting that I've read, but never tried, apparently the rice cooker hold water at approximately 130F which would be fine for reheating a steak. I've never personally tried it though. The second thing that comes to mind is to keep it in the oven very low until it the meat comes back to temperature or just below. Now this will defeat part of the purpose of sous vide. I'll think more and see what I can find.

The easiest way is to bag it again and sous vide it at a temperature slightly lower to reheat according to thickness.
