I wanted to leave the cut open ended, but too many on the OT cant think without having their hand held.

Right.

Especially great when I entertain at my house. I don't have to stare at the meat the whole time monitoring.

I can drink with friends and enjoy the night and 30 minutes or so before we're ready to eat, I get the grill as hot as I can which takes hardly any effort so its ready to sear and serve (for steaks)

A standing rib roast, also known as prime rib, is a cut of beef from the primal rib, one of the nine primal cuts of beef. While the entire rib section comprises ribs six through 12, a standing rib roast may contain anywhere from two to seven ribs.


I get what you are trying to say though


I didn't mean it was technically a part of the cow, I just meant its like a whole section of the cow, not an individual steak cut.

I've been sous videing my steaks lately with my new Anova cooker.


Many, those of which who have never cooked sous vide before, will make fun. You give your steak a water bath?


But isn't it in a vacuum seal bag? It's not like you're boiling it.

Correct.

It doesn't touch the water. It is just surrounded by it and the temp is monitored and controlled by the sous vide.

Think of the water as a very controlled grill temperature that doesn't change even 1 degree.

Bought some prime ribeyes at Sams yesterday. Bout 2” thick. Best I’ve had outside of Doe’s. I’m guessing they were each about 18 oz. perfect.

if you dont get a steak at least 1 1/2" thick its not worth it. but steaks at least that thick.... when you sous vide them

thinner than that and they cook too fast on the grill to worry about the center.

Whoever down voted you didn't bother reading the article. Serious eats isn't just some bored housewife with a blog. It's scientifically based cooking. Which isn't surprising since they have former Cook's Illustrated staff.

Yep. I've read up on it. But I've never tried one. I've already spent too much money on kitchen equipment. Especially considering how little I've been cooking lately.

I like the surface area best so prefer mine a little thinner than most. 3/4 of an inch.
