What are the best applications for sous vide cooking?

I have one that my wife bought but I just never seem to have recipes to use it with that I can't do faster or better with normal cooking methods. Any recommendations besides steak?

Salmon works well. Butter/oil poaching shrimp and scallops also. Chicken breasts.

Thick cut bone in pork chops. Treat them just like steaks but pick up the temp to 143ish.
Chicken tenderloins SV in Louisiana hot sauce. Cook to desired temp then remove and shock. Batter as per usual then flash fry with hotter than usual oil. Amazing.
But honestly, beef is my favorite application. Steaks, flank, beef tenderloin roasts, and skirt steaks are 90% of what my SV gets used on.

I use it for deer all the time. IMO its best for steaks in general

been meaning to try this
I never fry at home because I'm not confident enough to know when they are done
sous vide the chicken first takes out the guess work

Chicken and pork are great applications. You can hold at a lower temperature to kill off any nasties and preserve a texture you just cannot get by cooking with high heat.
If you like boiled eggs, an immersion circulator is an ideal way to cook them, though it's not sous vide because that requires cooking under vacuum. A degree of temperature can make a big difference with eggs, so being able to control that temperature absolutely gives you the ability to dial in the texture. Also, if you want to do something like hollanaise sauce or a caesar dressing, you can hold the eggs at 130F for several hours and pasteurize them in their shells without coagulating any of the proteins so you can use raw eggs with no risk of salmonella.

It is a revelation on pork tenderloin.

Just picked up a tray of LSU Ag Center eggs from Southside fruit stand, so I'm going to give those egg bite recipes a shot. Seem to have good reviews.

Chicken is great because you can get away with internal temperatures lower than 165 because you can cook it longer, which kills any bacteria.

You haven't lived until you eat a rare sous vide hamburger.
I usually sous vide them at 129F for 1.5 hours, dry thoroughly and quick sear on the grill or cast iron.

Pork tenderloin, 135 degrees for a couple of hours. Put some seasoning in the bag, rosemary, etc. Slice that shite, taste it, and thank me later.
I remember a Top Chef episode where Colicchio sternly informed a Chef saying that sous vide doesn't do justice to salmon. I'd have to disagree. It's awesome on salads.

I've only tried salmon once and it sort of flaked apart before I could get a good sear. Did I leave it in too long?
