Got some bone in loin chops last week-end, 5hrs @ 145f, finish on a griddle on top of the sear burner of my grill... so far best sous vide chops I've made... served with a grilled caesar salad, broccoli and raisins salad and some nice crusty bread....

Have you guys found any full "meal in a bag" recipes yet?

Best stuff I've been making regularly with my Anova:

Apples with a little honey and cinnamon, 175*F for ~45min

Carrots (or asparagus) with butter and salt/pepper, 183*F, 1-2 hours

Steak, Pork, Chicken...obviously

Probably the most practical use I've found for it has been to buy pre-marinated, pre-vacuum packed boneless chicken breasts from Wegmans and freeze them. Every few days I may toss a few in the sous-vide at 149*F while I'm at work...when I get home I fire up the rice cooker with some home-made vegetable stock and seasoned rice, then chop up one of the chicken breasts and mix it in. Super easy, super easy clean up meal for one. Remaining vac-sealed chicken goes in the fridge to be used later for something else....already fully cooked so just needs chopped up and heated up.
 
I have recently done a few turkey breasts in my sous vide. I am not usually a big fan of turkey but 3 hours at 145 produced an amazing moist turkey breast. Will never cook turkey in the oven again.
 
You guys are killing me - Wife is fighting black friday crowds to get me an Anova for my birthday - I can't wait to get my hands on that thing.

Did you see the Black Friday sale online?

It's such a good deal, and worthwhile device...I think I'll make a separate post on the sale

Ohh yea $99 bucks... can't beat it - I honestly was contemplating going to target today and hiding one for friday.
 
Only thing I don't know about is quantities available. I lost out on a Dell sale today because of quantities being limited...so you may want to go hide one just in case!

We're about to head out and assess the situation - gotta go trade in the wife's phone at bestbuy - 450 bucks worth of giftcards if you trade now, target is right across the way so I may go in and be sneaky.

Irony is I've been watching Dell all day trying to justify a new 55 inch 4k tv
 
Chuck looks good!


Turkey comes out real good too!


I used my sous vide this morning to pasteurize some eggs, I'm using them in a German Bratwurst recipe and figured may as well.
 
Turkey is in the water. Chopped it up into breasts, legs, & thighs, then rubbed with salt, sugar, paprika, and garlic powder. Also tossed in the liver, heart, and giblets for the dog and cats in a separate bag. I've got it set to 149 right now and plan on letting it go all day... Maybe into tomorrow morning.


Luck critters to get all tasty bits.
