How to boil chicken and cow parts
« Reply #-1 on: February 18, 2014, 06:54:57 PM »
First you unbox your newly (FINALLY) arrived Sansaire Sous Vide Circulator and do the "Ooh, ahh" thing for a while (unless you're Canadian - then it's "Ooh, ahh, eh").



The towel is a little tacky but the machine looks well put together and easy to operate and maintain. The clamp adjusts to thicker/thinner containers but pretty much wants the edge to be perpendicular to the ground (so much for using my crockpot which has slightly sloping sides and a wide rim). I'd probably have preferred more easily visible markings for minimum/maximum filling but no deal-breakers there. All-in-all it seems like we'll get along just fine.

So you set it up for 140oF and throw in the bagged TCB (test chicken breast). Only took about 5 minutes to get up to temp. The 140o reading on the Sainsaire showed as 139.8o on my Thermapen. You can easily offset the Sansaire temperature manually but .2o doesn't seem worth the trouble.




More as it happens ...



(SPOILER ALERT!! After the TCB is done, we're trying a steak for dinner)

Okay, the TCB came out as perfectly cooked as I've ever done. I don't even like the damn things but it's juicy, tender and all that. No herbs or spices on the test version but I'm guessing SWMBO will tell me what seasonings she wants on future iterations.


So then we get ready for the REAL test - a 24 ounce ribeye from a roast aged in a dry bag last year for 21 days and vacpacked in the freezer since then...


It'll cook at 130o for an hour or maybe a few minutes more before being pan-seared, sliced and devoured.

Puckin' A!

And in the bilingual spirit of our polite northern neighbors...

VOILA! Le steak...





As you may be able to tell, I went a little higher on the temp (132o) and seared in cracked pepper at SWMBO's request. We were pleased.

Looks good.  Sounds good.  I may need to do some more research.  My kitchen is definitely in need of another "toy".

Looks like a winner. Would you recommend setting it for 125ish than searing it?
