I need to place this video here, to minimize my chances of losing it.
I miss Shawarma so, so much!
Finally going to by one of these. Is this a good model/deal? https://www.costco.ca/anova-sous-vid...100711107.html
Yes, but I'd just buy the cooker and use something different for the tank. Like a simple pot and then the converted cooler Rage & me have if you turn out to like using it a lot.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
Is there something wrong with this tank? Is it just the size? I'm only cooking for two so I figured this would be the easiest.
Nothing wrong with it imo, just more money than necessary for a plastic bin.
I think that Costco deal is solid. If you aren’t sure if you’ll use this or not, I’d probably think about getting the cheaper anova and just using a pot.
Yea I just use a big stock pot personally. Not ideal for a super long cook or a big hunk of meat but does the job.

Maybe I'm reconsidering... It looks like Amazon has that Precision cooker for $229 so for the same price, you're getting a covered water bath for free.
*To say that water bath is $70 is ridiculous, though.
If rather save $40 on the cooker alone and then use a pot I already own.
Yeah I actually didn’t look at the anova site before, they want like $130 for that bucket/rack. This is a great deal compared to msrp haha.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote

Man those were the shit when I was 8. Right up until one Asian kid went to crossroads and picked up a bunch of metal parts which had the result of ruining everyone else’s tops as well as a few arenas.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote

If anyone wants the best vac sealer, the Cabela's commercial ones are no joke. Get the wideboi if you want to seal a full brisket or other large items.

Thanks for the reminder Mr.Slowly, this Foodsaver is on sale at Costco.ca for $120.
well in case anyone else was curious, was just at Sunridge and looks like they don't carry this model in store. Maybe other locations do.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
However it wasn't a complete waste of time for me because they have a promo where if you sign up for auto renew for your membership, you get a $25 voucher for an online purchase. So ended up stopping at the membership desk on my way out and signing up for auto-renew, and used the coupon to buy this online for a final price of $100ish
Costco online and in store very rarely have the same products, and almost never have the same prices.

The online model is a 5 series and the one in the store is a 3 series. I bought the in-store one last month and it works well. I suspect the one online is a higher end model for less money (after the discount) so it's probably the better way to go.
That looks like a solid option. I want to get it, but I also have a hard time buying (yet another) small appliance that I don't really need. Ziploc bags seem to do the trick.
I have something called a Cross Rib Roast that doesn't sound familiar to me, so I guess I've never bought that, before.
School me up!
Looks like Consumer Reports folks are saying 12hr at about 132°F. What should I toss in the bag?
Montreal steak spice? BBQ sauce? Wine? S&P? Lemons? Urine? Oil? Beer? Duck Fois Gras?
^maybe I should have started a mega poll.
After a comprehensive analysis of all the responses, I selected 8hr at 131°F with Montreal Steak Spice, a bit of Keg BBQ sauce and a few splashes of Lea & Perrins.
It was quite good, particularly for a very inexpensive roast.
Still a long way from "tender" but not so tough that little kids would complain.
