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

[Fentonite]

Tried a new sous vide today, first time. I gotta get more creative with seasonings, but that was absolutely the most tender chicken I’ve ever made. I’m a little bummed that each individual food item needs to be cooked at its own temperature, i.e., can’t throw bags of potatoes and carrots and chicken in all at the same time. Gonna try some ribeye next.

Don't blast me for blaspheming this process, but how reasonable would this process be for reheating things? Say you've got a steak that had a nice crusty dear, but you didn't finish it the night before. If you microwave it, you'll cook it through and dry out out. Could you pop it into a bag and heat it up again? Wouldn't be as fast as a microwave, but probably taste better. In my head I picture a more tedious, but more efficient, and much cleaner George Foreman grill process. Am I way out in left field?

No, you're not in left field. Reheating with sous vide is awesome, though you may need to re-sear a steak in a hot pan for a good crust.

Here's a pretty good article:

Which is why I have three Anova Circulators. I probably only really use two, but usually if I'm doing a 24hr+ cook on one thing and still want to cook some steak or something within that time.

While I'm glad that is a thing, the near identical cook times is a bit of a bummer. For context, my microwave broke (immediately after reading the thread about dieing appliances), and I've been having to use other methods to reheat food.

Take that steak just out of the fridge, thin slice it. Throw some sliced red peppers in a preheated pan with a little cooking oil. As the peppers are getting cooked to your liking throw the sliced steak in the pan, kick up heat from med - med hi. Heat while moving steak & peppers around with a spatula or fork for maybe 30 sec - 1 min. Remove from heat, put on plate or a section of french bread that you toasted add some cheese and call it good. The steak's not dried out.


You just reheated your steak and i saved you $1-200 on a sous vid cooking product

Not sure how you dried out a steak in the micro, unless you run it for more than 15 sec w/out checking it. Also how do you get a dried out steak when reheating unless you're cooking the damn thing to a med-well temp the first time.

When we go out my husband always specifies his steak's order temperature by saying: a good vet could fix it.

That's where my mind was. I think I'd rather take that money and get a new microwave, since I would use it more than a sous vide recirculator.

If I reheat steak in the microwave, it's usually for 15-20 seconds to knock the chill off of it. Good steak doesn't have to be hot like it just came off the grill/cast iron skillet. To me, anyway.

[Irving]

I have zero intention of buying a Suess Viva machine. That's just where my mind was going since the turn table on my microwave broke.
