Title: Sous Vide Burger
Post by: Roget on March 12, 2018, 11:50:36 AM
One Lb. 80/20 GB = one 9 oz. & one 7 oz. pattie. (about 1' thick)

Formed patties, seasoned with salt, pepper, & steak dust, put into Ziploc bags, & into the freezer for one hour. (until just starting to freeze)

Sous Vide @ 126° for one hour & 20 minutes.

Patties rested for fifteen minutes while I cooked my fries in the airfryer.

Seared in cast iron skillet with canola oil & a pat of butter for 45 seconds each side.

American cheese, tomato, red onion, mustard, & ketchup.
Plated with fries and a Corona

These were very good. Medium rare. Red, firm, & very juicy. (First time for Sous Vide burgers.)

I usually Sous Vide in vacuum bags, but tried Ziploc bags for these burgers.
I had trouble keeping them submerged. I tried to get all the air out like they show how to do, but they still wanted to float.
Any suggestions???

Good looking meal. For the floaters I try and find a plate that will fit over top to hold them down.

I like to just clip a knife to the outside of the bottom of the zip loc bag.  Only time I had to that was when I did a brisket in Sous Vide.  Everything else I have done has not floated, but I also typically always use my rack which I think helps hold them in place.

I did use the one knife, & it helped, but the bags still tried to find their way up.  :D :D
Maybe need several ??

Clipping a weight to the bottom of the bag sounds like a good idea.

Thanks.

Delicious looking burger. I usually use my racks but if I don't I will use whatever works to keep it under water.

Amazon also has these that I may get just for when I don't want to use the rack or the rack is being used in my other Sous Vide machine. Fantastic reviews.

Those are used instead of a lid, not to weigh a bag down.  They are the same idea as using ping pong balls.
