any of you check out sous vide cooking at home

guys with crock pot setups for larger pieces of meat/quantities of meat, do you think aerating the water is necessary? or will it be consistent temperature throughout?

i guess the anova aerates because it is the heat source- whereas a crock pot- the whole thing is the heat source.

im doing a corned beef brisket right now, will be done tonight

the normal convection currents are going to keep the temperature of the water pretty damn close to even in a vessel the size of a crockpot. If you were cooking in something 3' deep i'd be worried.

yup, that's what i figured also, i have moved around the thermometer with no change in temp.

I've installed probably 100 of those fuckers at nearly every white hen that turned into a 7-11 in the Chicago area . Company I used to work for had their refrigeration and HVAC service contract. White hen used to have all their refrigeration on one circuit, 7-11 took over and ripped it all out basically overnight and only left their walk in coolers on their rack system. Well, it was not engineered AT ALL and we had horrible problems with them. Converted every single store to a pumpdown system and pulled all the EPRs out. I had a stack of probably 20 of these things in my van at all times.

This is what i had originally planned to use to make my controller, but decided on a cleaner package.

Mine kept a reef tank 78* for 3 years.

$4 chuck eye at 132* for an hour and a half in the crock pot

Currently have a pork tenderloin in an equilibrium brine. Gonna cook at 135 for 3 1/2 hours and make a sauce out of the juices and possibly some apples and cranberries. Pretty damn stoked for dinner tonight

 

[Yaj Yak]

pork tenderloin is probably my favorite so far just cuz they are so cheap.

 

[Stink Star]

Pork is in!

 

[Yaj Yak]

ive got a beef tenderloin and a beef brisket in mine currently.

i'm going to try and see i can get a pork shoulder into a gallon bag tonight to throw in there too.

 

[Stink Star]

I can't wait to do a pork shoulder for like 2 days. Likely the best pulled pork I'll ever make

yeah i dunno what to do, ive been smoking it since noonish today, injected/sprayed... but now i dunno if i should pull it, and cut it into pieces and put it into bags to sous vide...

or finish it on the traeger.

or go lazy and throw it in the crock pot.

 

[1quick]

I want to try smoked pulled pork, how long do you smoke it for?

 

[Stink Star]

Done!

The actual pork was amazing. The reduction sauce was REALLY rich. I made it with onions and cranberry sauce and the drippings from the bag. I didn't like it at first, but it was more appealing the more and more pork I ate. The carrots were amazing, I just peeled them, put oil on them and covered them with a mix of honey and sirracha with a dash of chili powder and baked them at 350 for about 40 minutes. It's all basically a ripoff of the recipe I saw YouTube user C.T.P. do.

 

[Yaj Yak]

i did another beef tenderloin roast today.

135* > 131* for a roast like this. the thicker meat benefited greatly. 131 was good but the 135 was better.

 

[Yaj Yak]

there's no chance my pork shoulder is fitting in a zip loc... it doesn't fit in my crock pot currently.

 

[OffshoreDrilling]

just threw two steaks in the crockpot

*greedily rubs hands together*
