^I know, I just don't like the idea... dosen't seem natural.
May not seem natural but a machine like that is probably used in a significant majority of the top 50 restaurants in the world. Basically they just take the idea of cooking low and slow (i.e. smoking, low temp oven, etc.) to the extreme.
To me, unnatural would be the microwave. The idea of using radiation to excite the water molecules in food does not sound like cooking to me. Sounds weird in fact.
Let's keep the picture train rolling! 1lb boneless ribeye from WF. Few minutes around the edges, just under 2:45/side on medium, 45s/side on very high. Was aiming for (and succeeded) at just a touch rarer than my last steak.
Tilted me beyond belief how she didn't include pics though..
I'm guessing that was because it looks like ****. Pretty much every pic in this thread is gonna look better than a sous vide steak, but very few if any taste better.
My husband got me a number 12 Griswold from the 30's. It's about 11" on the base. I should be able to easily get four beautiful steaks in it without crowding. Awesome! I'll post pics the first time I get to use it.
Fillet topped with sautted cremini mushrooms, parm, greek yogurt and green onion. Side of roast potatoes tossed in a little purreed garlic at the end and wilted beet greens with a little garlic and lemon juice.
Article about salting/searing here from a very good food tech blog. It is just on the front page of the blog so in future search 'salt sear' and the article should come up.
It may just confirm what people here already know, not sure. Worth a read imvho.
