Title: Burgers in My New Toy
Post by: HighOnSmoke on September 04, 2014, 09:00:12 PM
I took advantage of the refurb Sous Vide Demi Supreme sale about a week ago. The only color left was red. My package arrived
this morning. Since it has been storming all day and we really wanted burgers I decided to do burgers Sous Vide style. I vacuum
packed 6 frozen 1/3 pound burgers. I will season when I sear them, like Muebe did here (http://www.letstalkbbq.com/index.php?topic=9422.0) with the ones he cooked frozen. I used cold
water in the Demi Supreme and added the burgers. I set the temperature at 135. I figure about 2 hours and they will be ready.

Out of the bath at 2.5 hours. (Got tied up on a few chores) Lots of juices and fat in the bags.

Dried off and seasoned half with Montreal Steak and the other half with Penzeys Smoky 4S.

I seared them in my cast iron skillet with a tablespoon of butter and a bit of red chili olive oil. Seared each side for 30 seconds.

Served with some oven baked Ore-Ida French fries.

Burgers were out of this world. Should have worn a bib when I ate this juicy burger! The Demi Supreme works as advertised. I
checked the temperature a few times with my Thermapen and it was dead on each time. Can’t ask for anything better than that.
I think my son will be inheriting the Dorkfood controller. But not until I am sure this new unit will do everything I want it too!  :)

Burgers look good!

Does that thing have built-in water circulation?

No it doesn't Mike. According to the website since the heat is so even throughout a circulator isn't required.
Here is the link to the info: http://www.sousvidesupreme.com/en-us/compare_sousvidesupreme_with_immersion_circulators.htm

Burgers look great, Mike.  Next on your list should be grass-fed burgers and bison burgers.  They will really knock your socks off!!  Get your big bib ready, as in a surplus pancho!!
