Love me some squid!

I like it sometimes with a hot/sweet chili sauce ;) Almost like a spicy duck sauce.

I'm a lemon squirter, no sauce. My wife prefers marinara sauce.

Testing my kitchen Aid hand blender as a meat chopper for burgers. This was done in a hotel





It did a great job, granted I could only chop a handful at a time.

Sous vide meatballs experiment.
Bagged some meatballs with marinara sauce, vacuum sealed and took em on the road.
Got the hot tub time machine to 143 degrees, dropped a bag in and went to the gym.









I lift heavy things



Two hours later...

Cooked some spaghetti, got the bags out and plated.
Most most will garnish with Parsley out of habit. Try Arugula insteadm it doubles as a veggie and a herb,



Long live Sous Vide cooking!!

How were the meatballs? Any different than a slow simmer in the pot of "gravy"?

Meatballs stayed intact, tender and very meaty.
The one issue I had, after comparing the sauce with the one I jarred, the sous vide sauce kind of got a little watery.

Pam my balls were about 4-5 oz.

Akruckus, very little to no difference with regular meatballs done in a pot of sauce.

Good to know.  Maybe the bagged sauce had the extra juice from the meatballs, making it "woodery" (aka watery)?
