Woke up and did an egg. 167 degrees for 13 minutes. Served with some pasta left over from the night before.



Later I decided to do some duck breasts. I was afraid of not achieving crispy skin, so I removed the skin and made cracklins. 135 Degrees for 2 hours and then seared and topped with duck skin cracklins.






topped with a blackberry reduction sauce:

Jalepeno
TBS fresh ginger
Shallots
Minced black berries
Blackperry preserves
Cabernet
Honey
Balsamic vinegar

Reduced and strained. Duck was a perfect, tender med-rare. I couldn't get more pics because he baby was in need of attention. This afternoon, I'll do some New York strips. thanks FDB for the link for the affordable immersion circulator.

You can use a mapp gas torch to crisp the duck skin or sear a steak after they leave the circulation tank

This, you can get searzall attachment for a propane or gas burner, and it's like having a hand held mini infrared broiler.

Next food purchase.

I get the best results from eggs at 148 degrees for 45 min to 1 hour. I love adding them to ramen. From my studies, 13 minutes wouldn't quite be enough time.

Just got mine, too.

Did a porterhouse and it came out great. Finished in a cast iron pan for sear.

Friday we did a pork tenderloin. Very basic...salt, pepper and a few other spices. Threw in a couple pats of butter. Poured the melted butter in a cast iron pan and seared the outside. Best I ever had. I could literally cut it with a fork.

Tonight we're doing salmon. I'll keep it simple, but I'm looking forward to becoming more elaborate with the recipes.

I purchase whole salmon filets when on sale and bag up the portions with seasoning and butter. I toss them into the freezer any time I want a quick and easy salmon dinner. I do them around 120-125 for an hour (a half hour to thaw in the bath, then a half hour to cook).

72 hour short ribs are my absolute favorite sous vide application. They're like prime rib on a stick.
