SOUS VIDE PROPERLY in an INSTANT POT? Surely you can't be serious, Mitch

The Instant Pot pressure cooker is turning out to be an impressive appliance for anyone living a carnivore lifestyle. It has a sous vide mode that most have told me is basically a joke and will never be a viable substitute for an immersion circulator. I put it to the test.

I am also an Old Guy Carnivore (66) and I've been using an Instant Pot Ultra which has a "hidden" Sous Vide feature. I use the Ultra setting, pick "No Pressure", set the temperature using "Custom" and then set the time I want it to cook. Works just like the newer pots with the Sous Vide setting. Searing the steak in butter is a nice touch, but I've also been adding a bit more butter and some fresh Rosemary and Thyme during the sear. Tip the pan up on its side a bit and spoon the hot butter with the aromatics up over the steak. Really adds a nice bit of extra flavor. Good video. Note: You can also Sous Vide a Chuck Roast for 24 - 48 hours then sear it and it will taste more like a Ribeye than a Pot Roast!

Hi Mitch, I'm glad the steak turned out great. The Instant Pot does not circulate the water and since the temperature sensor is at the bottom, that would explain the difference in water temperature. The Anova immerson circulator is more precise because it provides a constant temperature in the bath. However, I'm still going to use the Instant Pot for sous vide.😊

@texastomsshavingtips6359 Ай бұрын

You can put a rack in the bottom of the Instant Pot to get the meat up off of the sensor, that should help maintain a more consistent cooking temperature👍🤠‼‼ .

@OldGuyCarnivore Ай бұрын

There's no doubt that an immersion circulator is more accurate, but for people who don't want to spend the money or don't have the room, the instant pot seems to be a good solution

@BillyJoeJimBob8 Ай бұрын

Good video, Mitch! And, full of good info, as usual. One, of many, things I appreciate about your vids is that you speed up the boring/time-consuming sections, like filling the insert with water. That shows respect for your viewers. Well done. Have to admit to almost always watching your vids, as well as some other of my subscribed channels, at 1.5 to 1.75 speed as it reduces the time dedicated to what might be considered a slow pace. Not that there's anything wrong with that... ;-) Keep up the good work!

@mosconi0359 Ай бұрын

Before you throw out the old IP for a new one with the Sous Vide setting, if you own the Instant Pot Ultra, it has a Sous Vide feature most people are unaware of. Use the Ultra setting and then click "No Pressure" and set the time for whatever you need and put the Temp on "Custom" and set it to the Temp you want. I use 130 for my medium rare and it comes out very nice. I also use Ziplok bags and sometimes a little air is still in them, so I weigh down the bag with stainless grate that comes with IP. You can put butter and spices in the bag with the steak and it will marinate in the bag as it comes up to Temp.

Been cooking Sous Vide in my Instant Pot Ultra for a few years now. The water temp will be a little low, but if you probe the meat when it comes out it will be right on. I just use a glass pot lid to ease cleanup - eliminates the need to wipe the lid gasket. YMMV

I did a flank steak sous vide in my IP last night. 130° for 2 hours, seared in butter on stove top with some red Argentine shrimp. It was beautiful! I have also done skirt, ribeye and t-bone steaks. The only thing I have NOT liked via sous vide was a sirloin pork chop. The texture was just really funky. Sous vide is the best way to ensure a piece of meat never gets overcooked!

@Slivings911 Ай бұрын

I like to use ghee (homemade) for searing a steak lately. It has a nutty buttery flavor but a higher smoke point. I haven’t pulled the trigger yet on buying the Instapot, even though you’ve given us the heads up on the great price. I’m being frugal (by necessity) but I really want one - I think. I know I’d use the slow cooker, and I’d love to try the sous vide and pressure cooker. I’d even use the rice cooker for my husband. It seems like such a great all in one machine. But then I’ll need the vacuseal machine + bags, which I probably need anyway with freezing meat. So that’s two more machines I have no room for. Anyway, I love watching how you cook, Mitch. I learn a lot. 😊

The INSTANT POT does not appear to circulated the water. The water could be different temps on bottom and top.

@OldGuyCarnivore Ай бұрын

That's not true, because it's heated from the bottom and heat rises causes a convection in the water just like cooking in a pan on a stove top

@brianbowman5402 Ай бұрын

@@OldGuyCarnivore Your water was cooler at the top than what it was set to, but the bottom water was not checked. Yes, the hot water on the bottom will rise, but it will also cool moving away from the heating element. It may make no difference as I'm getting more into the rabbit hole than I like, but checking top and bottom temps of the water would show if the INSTANT POT has a calibrtion issue or not.
