What Did You Sous Vide Today? (Dedicated Thread for Precision Cooking Pics, Recipes & Discussion)

I made one of these. Works like a charm. I think it cost about $25. It's basically a thermostat for a crockpot, which turns the electricity on and off to keep it at a constant temperature.

Also, you don't need a vacuum sealer. Just use a ziplock bag and dip it in the water to force the air out, and then seal it.

I read some rave reviews about chicken, which I tried and didn't care for much. But steak is restaurant quality every time.

I just stick mine into a enameled Dutch oven, seems to hold the heat pretty good. Also just using ziploc freezer bags. A vacuum sealer is on my list to purchase.

Heres a chefsteps video, super cool videos and ideas, I'm hooked. I'll be making the bacon this week.

So the unbelievable happened, I actually won something in a FB giveaway contest.

I've always been curious about Sous Vide but never wanted to make the investment. Any suggestions for first cook?

Time to start watching some YouTube videos.
