Turkey Roaster oven?
Yep...I have one coming that is 22 qt. capacity.There are very few gadgets that I don't see and want to buy. The Sous Vide falls in that category though. I would prefer to live that experience vicariously through you all. ADD and 24 hour cooks don't do well together.
When several folks started playing with Sous Vide - I watched quietly from the sidelines....Not convinced - but I did not want to be a "wet blanket" so when my Dad bought an Aqua Chef Sous Vide ( it is a converted/adapted deep fryer )...I borrowed it to finally try it. Again, unconvinced - but curious. After cooking my first meat in it - a 3 lb.+ ribeye roast ( prime rib) and finding that I was able to cook BETTER by using Sous Vide as a tool - along with cold smoking, and pan searing.
Chris - if you can find someone in your area that cooks Sous Vide - at least give it a try.
You will find that it is a superior method to help us obtain the "3 T's" - Taste, Texture and Tendernesss. And - BTW...theat 3lb. 3.5 oz ribeye...? It only loss at total of 4.6 oz. from raw - until I cut it to serve. When you can get the meat to hold moisture to that degree....it really can make a difference in the finished product.
Sous Vide is not a "do all" method. But...it is a great tool for adding to your skills.
