Merry Christmas, F&D'ers.

Tell me about this sous vide phenomenon I'm hearing more & more about.. what are the benefits of it? What cuts of meat do you use it for? Which one do you recommend?

Benefits: Being able to cook food at a very precise temperature

What to cook: Everything, but meat is where it shines

Best meats: Thick pork chops, loin, steaks, chicken thighs...any thick cut of meat

Before and after actually if it's thick enough

Meat cooked sous vide only isn't very aesthetically pleasing

They will need to be finished in some way

Pork can be cooked medium or below, still very pink inside ... frozen meats don't have to be thawed ... meat is generally more tender and juicier than the equivalent degree of doness by grilling or searing then roasting ... a steak cooked to rare via sv will be better than a steak cooked to rare via grilling since the meat is actually cooked more thoroughly at a precise temp ...

Serious Eats or ChefSteps are my main sources for tips and recipes

The best benefit of sous vide is that if you cook a streak at 127, it's going to be 127 from top to bottom with zero grey

I have only used mine for cheap cuts of meat like chuck roast or rump roast. I actually did a few rump roasts for my family Christmas party and everyone thought they were delicious. Just seasoned, vacuum sealed, and cooked them for roughly 24 hours. Just as easy and way better than a crock pot.
