Apparently SV devices were a hit this Christmas season, based upon the number of posts about em.

Yesterday, I set up a new SV tank since the cooler that I had been using for a year was not the best fit.

I got a Coleman Party Stacker cooler. Most of the folks using these cut a hole in the lid that the unit fits snugly into without the mounting bracket.

But it dawned on me that doing it that way would make it a PITA to take the lid off while the SV was operating... so I scribed an arc and cut the corner off:

If you position the output hole on the plastic tip of the Anova pointed to the left, the circulation is great... basically a big counterclockwise loop.

And I got one of those Ikea racks for the inside:

Finally, I got an outdoor propane burner for searing on cast iron at silly temps. Will post pics on that later

I should add that this is not going to work for big things... it will be great for chicken breasts, pork tenderloin, NY strip, ribs, etc. But even a cut like a porterhouse would be too "tall" for this cooler.

I think I'm going to get the deeper Party Stacker (the 48-can) which I believe I can use this already-cut lid on.

I kid I kid ...

I guess I am like the crack addict who has yet to hit the pipe - I just don't get it.

Now I would get it if my conventional steak cooking methods for some unexplained reason just stopped working ( out door BBQ over coals or indoor cast iron on the stove top )

And in all honesty I have never taken a bite of any sous vide cooked steak or prime rib or anything for that matter.

Its great you all are so into this ... I just doubt I ever get sucked into the vortex

I have the same Anova unit, but bought the large dedicated tub and lid for it.

If it was just steak, I'd probably just stick to the grill. (even though I can do a much better steak via SV)

But there are so many other things that this excels at. The most common thing I use SV for is chicken breasts and pork chops.

I'm thinking of retiring my DIY rig, which I'm pretty sure was influenced by OP several years back.  If not, it was someone here.

It is a PID controller from Amazon, that basically switches an outlet off/on using a solid-state relay.   I plug an ordinary crock pot into that, and just slip the temperature probe under the lid seal.    Works fine, but doesn't circulate and of course the volume is limited.

Now that dedicated devices are available with circulation features, it might be time.

And I can maybe re-purpose the old rig for a tiny forced-draft fan to control long smokes on the Egg...

I did a DIY rig, but I'm not sure that I ever posted about it... switched to the Anova pretty early-on specifically because of the circulation feature at a reasonable price (when the commercial Polyscience ones were the only all-in-one alternative for much more $$$)

I'd still like to get one of the Polyscience classics... they look like something from the Soviet space program.

I don't understand what is so hard to get.   It just makes it so easy to have perfectly cooked food.  Last night we cooked 3 nice, choice rib-eye steaks that were about 1.75-2" thick to EXACTLY 129 degrees or perfectly medium rare in a little over an hour with no intervention on my part.  Then about 1 min. on all sides in the cast iron skillet and they were divine!  I didn't take pics of the final product (they disappeared too quickly) , but they were hot and pink from top to bottom with an awesome thin crust from the searing.

I love to grill, but this thing takes all the guess work out of the equation.  No more testing for doneness by touch or jabbing the meat with a thermometer and if dinner time is delayed for some reason, just leave the meat in the bath.  It won't get over cooked or dry out.

Go ahead and belly up to the pipe!

Got the SV for Christmas from the wife, I have 4 vacuum sealed Choice Ribeyes in the fridge now, going to wait till tomorrow to cook it for dinner. I'm undecided if I'm going to put my cast iron skillet on my outdoor 35k BTU burner tomorrow (going to be sub 30 degrees tomorrow), or I'm going to use a benzomatic propane torch on it in the garage.

Because you can just set it and forget it until it's time.  There is no babysitting with these things and you can start it way in advance and just head out to finish chores or run errands.

100% of the meat is cooked to the desired doneness and then the outside is seared.

With other methods, there's a gradient of doneness. In fact, you can observe that gradient with your thermapen. (and you eyes, for that matter)

Not if you sit your steaks on the counter 3-4 hours before grilling them.

I like sous vide. Recommendations on torch?  But easy is grilling. Sous vide needs like a whole production which is why I don't do it often.

I cooked my steaks and other things on a grill for years and thought they were great.

Then I started searing them in a cast iron pan like Alton Brown suggested and they were better.

Then I discovered sous vide and they are the best.

Sous vide works.

I don't have the spare time to boil meat for hours. If I want a steak, I light a chimney starter full of lump charcoal and 30 minutes later I'm eating a medium rare steak with a perfectly seared crust.

Same here - I like that fire grilled / charcoal taste. Plus it helps me bond with my cavemen ancestors cooking over open fire.

Someone above mentioned the error free perfect cook they get with sous vide. I can count on 2 fingers the number of steaks I have whiffed on in the past 10-20yrs.

Curious if sous vide lasst longer than the gimmick phase of a couple years ( example: the set it and forget craze / rotisserie )

To each their own .... those that are all in on sous vide seem to be more than happy. Just as I am more than happy not doing it.

There's a better perfect.

the steak on the right is about as awesome as you can ask a human being to cook it, IMHO.
Most people can do this 5 times out of 10, the others will be misses. (On Arf, where the average bench press is 300+, the average overhead press is 225, the average member has paid off their home before 30, owns 3 paid off cars worth 100k+, AND has 6 figures in the bank sitting around - I'm sure they've literally never had a gray spot near the edge of their meat with a non-sous vide slower cooking method
I'm sure)

The one on the left, is something that almost looks alien, and it's attainable every time.
It's why it got so popular on this board, this wasn't an accident.

Here's 2 medium rare steaks.




There's flavor in that lost mass





Skillet cooking is fun, BBQ, etc - But this sous vide stuff isn't silly or dopey.
It absolutely has its pluses

I personally like the small contrast on doneness I get grilling a NY steak. That slightly rare dead center on a single bite is a welcome contrast just as the slightly under medium ( not quite med rare ) edges tips of the steak. Its like I am getting a few steaks in 1.

I am not so sure I would like every single bite being the exact same as your sous vide delivers.

But to each their own as I stated earlier

I just ain't buying that this style is the perfect / end all method. I have never even tried it and really have no desire to. That's how uninspired I am by all the hype ... and I LOVE STEAK.

Sous vide on this board is turning almost as bad as the beans/no beans thing. Maybe even 9 vs. 45.

I got a knock-off Anova for Christmas, along with a torch, fuel, and zip locks. I have a spare cooler I'm going to sacrifice for it. I know and understand it, used it in several professional kitchens, but have not done the home method.

I will admit - that looks great and no doubt cooked exact how you like it.

But I am a novice cook at best and even a toolbox like me can place shrimp / prawns in a skillet or saucepan over med to medium high heat and cook them perfectly in 2-3 mins just watching them closely and turning them over after a moment. Then promptly pulling them off when cooked. I mean seriously ... you can watch the fucking things change color right before your eyes while they are cooking. And that brief few minutes they are in the sauce pan with the butter and other spices is their only chance to soak up those flavors.

Honestly I just do not see the benefit of sous vide shrimp.

Love that just because I overdid a homebrewing system, and mad massive use of sanitary fittings and magnetic pumps.

Are the "boiled meat" people stupid or just retarded?

SV absolutely excels at shellfish. Shrimp, butter, garlic, wine in bag.  30min at 124 deg.  Boom perfect shrimp scampi.

Well then, definitely don't try SV scallops.  You have it mastered!
