Put up or shut up then. Let's see that steak or pork that's perfectly med-rare from edge to edge that you can achieve with a grill that the rest of us mere mortals can only achieve with sous vide or reverse sear.

Sous vide is just another tool in the kitchen. I braise chuck roasts for the fall apart meat and rich gravy. I roast whole chickens for that awesome crispy skin. I make tofu curries on the stove for a quick meal. I smoke butts for awesome bbq. I sous vide pork tenderloins for perfect 137 degrees internal temperature from edge to edge. Sorry but not sorry using different tools and methods to achieve different outcomes.

I buy enough stuff online that I've seen the explosion of the devices that has recently appeared.
This method has been around 200 years but only just now has become popular?

This board would sous vide raw turds if meridian dog made the pics look good enough. It'll be another device that gets re gifted at Christmas and sits in a drawer in your kitchen unused because not everyone wants to wait 96 hours to cook something.

Don't we have crock pots that can accurately control temps? Why does anyone need a $200 tool that is popular online right now?

Good god, crock pots are wildly inaccurate for temp controls.

And I've had mine for five years. I used the first one enough I felt justified in spending the money to buy a second one in June.

And if you don't see the difference between cooking something at 130 degrees vs. boiling it, then I'm certain you're trolling. Good job, mission accomplished.

I bought a 12 lb Select grade ribeye roast a few weeks ago. I cut it in half and put one on the smoker, it was OK but I was disappointed. I kept it on until the internal hit rare then wrapped and put in a cooler for another hour or so.

I couldn't decide if I wanted to try the same thing again on the other 1/2 or something else. I ended up cutting the other 1/2 into about 1.5 inch steaks, seasoning them, zip locking them and putting in a foam cooler of hot water for 2 hours. Then iron skillet with butter til I set off the smoke alarm They were so much better this way, it was hard to believe they came off the same slab of meat as the others.

Crock pots have come a long way and have temperature settings now

you go ahead and throw a couple of ribeyes in a crock pot for a few hours and tell us how they turn out

LOL I think he means maybe you could use the crock for the sous vide method.

I've thought of that, but think they still get too hot. Plus I haven't seen a crock pot big enough to handle my cooks.

i'll just say i'll keep learning how to cook with my sous vide device and not bother anyone else about it.

i'm not sure why this method is being blasted into oblivion...it's a tried and true method. does it take longer? sure. Much longer? in some cases, yep. but the people who try it have noticed a considerable difference in the end result.

Put it this way, last night, I sealed up 2 chicken breasts and put it in the sv bath for an hour. In that hour, i went for a run at memorial park. by the time I got back, it was done. I took it out of the bag, seared it for a little bit on the stove and sliced the breasts. tender, very moist, and delicious.

It really didn't take much time to do it all, and really...it's minimal effort.

i'm gonna keep trying new things with it.

There are only a few here blasting it, and they don't realize that they're likely already eating food prepared this way. Restaurants have been doing it for decades.

Chicken and pork, man. That's the best. If it's skinless, I generally don't sear chicken, just season or sauce it.

Oh, if you're looking for a fat to sear in... I already mentioned ghee, and it's my favorite. But duck fat is incredible, too. The browning in duck fat is superior to any other I've used.

I don't just because it's so easy to get dry and stringy.

You could try to sear before sous vide for color. Don't know how that'd work out.
