What? You don't think unoriginal and edgy comments are funny?

Hell I got three downvotes for using SV with shrimp and lobster.

Their loss.

i am trying poached eggs this weekend. We have to cook about 16 or so poached eggs and I think this will be the easiest route to go.

anyone else have some tips on temp... im seeing 145 for 45 min or 167 for 14 min

Well that sucks. I dig the little gadget, hope you get one that works properly.



They're sending me a new one. Told me to keep the one I already have.

I did play with it a little last night and got it to work right. But it requires being by the unit when it gets a few degrees above the set temp, unplugging it, and setting it again for that temp. It brought the temp down and held it there. Weird. Set it for 125, unplugged it at 130, plugged it back in and set it for 125 again. It got down to 125 and stayed there.

Edit: I initially said loin. Meant tenderloin.

Not surprised. SV is great for keeping lean cuts of meat from drying out.

Other than probably being a faulty unit, make sure you're within the recommended water levels. If the water level is just above the max level, my unit does what you're describing. Turns out it just needed a couple of inches less of water.

Yep, and pork tenderloin is even better. Sous vide 2 hours @ 135. Seared and sliced over a mushroom and asparagus risotto, raspberry chipotle sauce. Was one of my better dishes...



Here's the thread from a couple of years ago...

I've been using an Anova for a couple of years. Works great.

I've been doing thick pork chops in it lately. Come out perfect.

We've had our Gourmia brand for several years and it has worked without one issue. It is a budget brand and maybe cost $99 at most when we got it.
