These tables are generally more useful as they account for the time to heat a uniform slab of meat to pasteurization temp

I think the ultimate testament is that Dz Nutz is still alive. Although I don't think I have seen his posts today, so I hope that I haven't jinxed it.

These are from a while back. Sous vide really excels with pork.

I assure I am safe and have yet to poo blood.

Man, those look great. Keep the photos coming people!

In that case, we should let you have the honor of starting up a Sous Vide Photos thread.

Thanks to whomever recommended the Rubbermaid setup. I tested it yesterday on some higher heat (85 celsius) stuff and it retained the heat noticeably better than a standard pot.

Thought I would bump this for a great deal for an Anova. I was waiting for a sale to buy one and I think this is the best deal yet with the shitty exchange rate.

$60 Cad off and free shipping. I just bought the wifi model for $209.95 cad incl GST and shipping.

Straight from Anova. Sale is good till May 31.

thanks for reviving this thread with a sale.

how useful/convenient is the wifi version if we both work regularly 7am-4pm? can I just bathe food for 9-10hours?

ziploc bags ok for the time being or should be vacuum sealed?

I've heard of people putting their meat (frozen) into an ice bath and starting it using wifi at the appropriate time. I don't see why that wouldn't work, but it still doesn't sound terribly practical to me.

Certain foods you'd want to cook for that long to tenderize, but if you cooked a tender cut of steak for 9-10 hours it would come out a bit mushy.

Ziplocs are great using the water displacement method of removing air. I wouldn't trust them for long or high temp cooks though.

thanks, I might do a chilled water bath then remotely turn it on at noon or 1pm.

I do this Earl, it works great. It even monitors the water temperature without it being turned on, so you can play around with how much ice to dump in.

hey Ryan, what do you do for your ice bath?
I had 3 bags of ice and my water temp went up to 5C by 2:30pm from 6am.
Turned the anova at 3:30pm, seared the steak by 5pm.
a cheap 6$ steak tasted damn good!


hoping to try more steaks, chicken and pork chop later on.
both a vacuum sealer on amazon for 80$, seems to be working ok.

I just dump whatever ice is in my icemaker. I have one of these, with a lid they seem to hold temperature pretty damn well. Better than a stockpot, that's for sure.

Is it worth going with the wifi version than just the Bluetooth?

I think so. Just being able to start your cooking or monitoring your temps while you're out is easily worth the price difference.

yeah i grabbed a 12quart one and it's great, do you just put ice or water too before going to work?
mine is half water and half ice which is probably why it melts faster

this, i was thinking to cheap out and just grab the BT version but having the WiFi allows me to control and monitor it from anywhere.

I do half and half too. I wouldn't worry about getting to 5°C by 2-3pm, fridges are typically kept between 3-4°C.

24 hour Short Ribs are one of my favorites at the moment, salt & pepper before being sealed, then red wine and the drippings to make a sauce afterwards.

anova has another $60 off sale... website was a little broken though... used paypal and it told me they dont ship to canada... but on desktop i was able to skip tot he next screen and resubmit my address and it worked

I wouldn't mind picking up a Searzall today. Does anyone know where to buy it locally?

I don't think you'll find one. I could be wrong though.
Amazon is your best bet, give or take the possible Canada Post strike...

[Brent.ff]

just ordered the Wifi...canada post better not bone me

Is there a place in town for those Rubbermaid containers or is Amazon the go-to?
