I built one of these a couple days ago using an STC-1000 and my crock pot.
All finished up. I didn't see the need to pay 8 bucks for a box from HD. I just used a gladware tub I had on hand.
Maiden Voyage was a NY Strip at 140 for 90 minutes.
After 90, I took it out of the bag and patted it dry and seared it in a really hot skillet for 15 seconds on each side for some Maillard love.
Your plate. Mashed potatoes with parmesan, sour cream, butter and garlic to round it out. Steak was perfect from edge to edge.
The perfect morsel
So this was by far the best steak I've ever had. I have to admit I'm not even really a big steak guy but this was incredible. I've had some 40 and 50 dollar plates at steak houses and I have to say this one blew them all away. This $6 on-sale Strip could be 50 or up in a steak house with some trimmings. It was unreal. I didn't touch those potatoes until the meat was gone. Anyone who is reading this and loves perfectly cooked food and DOESN'T have a ghetto sous vide machine, do yourself a favor and put one together.
STC-1000 controller..... 18 on Amazon
6 foot three prong extension cord.....8 bucks
3 wire nuts... maybe 25 cents
crock pot..... most people already have one but a new one is less than 20 bucks
If you already have a crock pot, you can be in the perfectly cooked protein business for about 30 bucks.
What are you waiting for?!?!?!?!? Call now!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
