New York Strips are in my usual rotation


Scotch Eggs (the soft boiled egg part)


Also, creme brulee is quite simple as well. No need to scald the cream or water baths.

Pancakes @ 225 for 4 hours. I recommend putting the butter in with them. Comes out spectacular

Been really thinking of jumping in also. What are some suggestion on brands, and total initial setup. I don't think I would ever go 100% sous vide, but I watch my man Guga on LINK and I'm intrigued, buy some of the versatility it offers.

I use an Anova.

What do you mean go 100% sous vide? I use it when I have the time and cooking specific things like a steak

Kenji has a good page on steaks

This will be the kitchen tool you can utilize for the most return on investment. That device will be a game changer for your steaks.

Also, Look into getting a vacuum sealer if you don't already have one.

Steaks are almost a no brainer now on cooking to doneness. Ours are usually set at 129.5 for several hours then seared in clarified butter in cast iron.

I haven't really explored the potential of the device, because I can't get past the steaks. It completely ruined eating at a steak house for family.

Thanks, we (as in my wife) are cooking asian chicken wings this week. I don't know where to start with chicken though. My wife is a pretty good cook/chef, thanks to some very famous chefs and Culinary School. So, I eat whatever is put in front of me and wonder how I got so lucky. What did you have in mind for chicken? She is always looking for things experiment with in that sous vide.

With chicken lately, we have just been using boneless skinless breasts at work. We just experiment with different marinades and seasoning each time. We are usually cooking 6 to 8 at a time so we separate them into 3 or 4 bags with different things.

I like to keep it simple with some fresh rosemary and salt and pepper. Asian marinades can sometimes be a little too salty after the bath.

145 degrees for 1.5-2.0 hours and youre good to go

I like sous vide a lot coupled with flash frying or searing/grilling at very high temperatures. This has worked great in the past for tailgating using wings.

I don't know what should be first, but I know what definitely should be on your list.

Eggs. Seriously.

Pork tenderloin is a great choice for sous vide.

It's what I usually recommend to do first.

People almost ALWAYS overcook pork. A perfectly cooked pork tenderloin with a nice quick sear is great, but especially good compared to what you usually get.
