How do you feel about sous vide cooking?

yummy plastic leach
>>
>>22154701
it's good for being lazy because you can do it ahead of time and then sear when you're ready to actually eat later
>>
best way to manage some types of foods
if you want warm puree for a meal a warm water bath is best for it, and most convenient way to do that is a sous vide machine
You can keep a meat prepped for a time at optimal temp and when an eater needs it you just sear it quickly.

The phenomenon of these idiots farting "microplastics" out of their simple ass mouths every time they see plastic needs to go. Life as a NPC must be ridiculous, just acting on programmed impulse to every stimulus all day every day. Bobblehead, implied humans. The worst, most predictable animals.

I couldn't care less. Anyone who can cook can prepare food just as well using standard methods. Its only advantage is in buffet style environments.

The best steaks are deep fried.

Sous vide sucks.
>>
>>22155643
mmm phthalates
>>
>>22155660
That's disgusting. Part of the reason sous vide is superior is because of the long slow cook at temperature under vacuum. No water can evaporate and the vacuum effect pulls the flavors of the aromatics and rendered fat into the center on the meat, making it super juicy and flavorful. Deep frying is the solution of the impatient retard who hates flavor, juiciness and precision, uniform cooking.
>>
>>22155667
>mmm phthalates
>mmm microplastics
Every time. It's always the same with you programmed subhumans.
>>
>>22155800
You've obviously never tried deep fried steak.

Sous vide doesn't get a nice crust. Just like reverse sear. Warm steak with a moist unseared surface cannot be fixed. It's an awful way to cook a steak.

I've had some interesting results with them.
Genuinely best pork loin I've ever made was sous vide, and might have been the best I've ever tasted. For nearly everything else though I've preferred smoking

>>22155826
I've made deep fried steak. The crust is not worth the sacrifice of flavor and juiciness.

>Warm steak with a moist unseared surface cannot be fixed.
What kind of a novice are you? The steak is first made in sous vide, then it's finished by quickly searing the crust onto it with either cast iron or a flame thrower. Get out there and learn some stuff before attempting to butt heads with a chef.

I know deep fried steak is the best because I have eaten deep fried steak.

I am posting people on YouTube who also find it delicious because you decided to lie and say it was bad. You probably don't even eat meat. Seems like you're a vegan.

Here's another guy with Guga as a guest. They deep fry a steak normally and do another vaccuum deep fried. Spoiler: this guy also likes the deep fried steak. Vaccuum fried is another level up

https://youtu.be/4iUUx8Qtqec
>>
>>22154701
It's really convenient because you can cook meat from frozen. You just add a little extra time.

>>22155667
Hdpe vacuum bags do not have bpa or any analogous plasticizers, and they don't have pthalates either.

It's impossible to get a nice sear on an already cooked steak. Too much moisture on the surface. Sous vide and reverse sear are both abysmal.

The best sear is from drying the steak first overnight uncovered in a refrigerator or in front of a fan for 30-60minutes. Then pan fry or deep fry. Deep fry is obviously better but requires a lot more fat. When pan frying you can spoon the fat over the top of the steak.
>>
>>22156070
You ever heard of a paper towel?
>>
>>22156100
It doesn't work on a warm cooked steak. The moisture is coming from inside the steak.

The only way to get a nicely dried surface is when it is cold.

That is why the best methods for cooking a steak dry the surface before cooking and sear immediately. Deep fried, pan fried, brushed with melted butter and cooked on a grill, in that order are the best options. Sous vide is competing for the worst method for cooking a steak with reverse seared.
>>
>>22156117
So dry heat from an oven doesn't dry the exterior out?
I've never had a problem getting a deep and crispy crust from either method. I use avocado oil because it has a very high smoke point. Can you post one of your steaks?

... and after

Oven heat makes the surface moist because the steak is full of moisture. Even if you think you're getting a good sear you really aren't.

You will not understand what a good crust on a steak is like until you dry one overnight in a refrigerator or 1hr infront of a fan, then deep fry. I independently discovered this technique when I was on a quest for the best steak only to find out other people were already deep frying steaks when I searched online. It's just science really. Everyone who tries to get the best sear will arrive at the same conclusion.

Using about a quarter inch of avocado or another very high smoke point oil in a heavy bottomed pan, waiting until it just starts smoking and flipping every 15ish seconds gets you there. You can see the deep and crispy sections of this sear.
Your steaks almost look deep fried hah. I have done tallow deep fried steak, but if you combine it with sous vide the tallow has too low of a smoke point so you don't get a super sear. My method does just fine with sous vide. Flipping every 15-30 seconds produces a more even sear, and if you really want you can spoon the hot oil on the top of your steak to make an even more consistent and deep sear.
>>

If you eat out you've probably enjoyed a lot of sous vide food unwittingly. It's incredibly common in restaurants.
Like any technique it has its pros and cons. Low IQ consolewarsfag to think otherwise.

It's good for some things, and VERY good for seafood that can be temperamental.

It's also THE way to deal with shitty meat cuts. You can basically tenderize any shit meat you come across with this bad boy. If you can't smoke it, sous vide can deal with it.

I will say it's a cheat for home cooks who can't manage fire or temperature. You can basically properly cook anything in sous vide form and not screw it up. Very scientific and repeatable. You set temp and the machine does the cooking for you.

And if you want to shit your pants about microplastics, silicon exists and is high temp. They make silicon bags now. So no excuses.

Shut the fuck up, retard. All plastics have some kind of plasticizer and they all start leeching well below sous vide temperature. Feel free to keep lying to yourself tho :)

>>22157996
it's not pedantic, there's a huge difference between the melting point of plastic and not. cooking something at 140F vs 212F is a huge difference.

The whole BPA is such a fucking retarded joke. There are different plastics and they are all bad for you in the same exact way. The trick the industry played was just to pick one type of plastic and go ''see? our plastic isn't BPA!'' But it's still fucking plastic that is in your food.
This is like people selling your cyanide with labels ''DOES NOT CONTAIN ARSENIC AND BLEACH! :D''
Oh wow, this cyanide is safe then! :DDD Da label said it doesn't have bleach in it! :DD

>>22154701
I don't care about plastic or seed oil hysteria or any other typical retarded internet soccer mom shit. That said sous vide is a gimmick and mostly only good for retard proofing
>>
>>22158333
it's not boiling, and sous vide is realistically pretty worthless for anything over 150F or so without a semi-sealed insulated vessel and even then not much more. That means it's shit for vegetables and meats that need to soften collagen or render

it's perfect for when you want to cook something to 130 and hold it until pasteurized, that kind of thing. Best use is lean meat and egg/dairy cooking
>>
>>22154701
Completely unnecessary and potentially harmful. Just sear it, broil it or grill it ffs
>>
>>22158407
Collagen breakdown is time/temp dependent, so even at 145 it will happen. It just takes a lot longer. That's why you see so many 24/48hr cooks for tough cuts.
>>
>>22155643
It will never not be funny that all the microplastics that were detected in things was just the researchers detecting their own gloves they worn while doing the testing.
>>
>>22158538
That was fake news actually. In one study, one researcher discovered this had happened, and the TV news people, bloggers, and plastic industry shills extrapolated this result into "all detected microplastics were just gloves" which isn't true at all. They're everywhere and inside your body and in the air and water, even despite this one oddball goof some lab tech made.
>>
>>22158746
since you didnt personally confirm that with your own study I would ask you to look up the replication crisis and stop wasting everyones time

Like what? Also, have you ever bothered to read and cited sources for whatever internet blogpost or fake media trash that you're reading?
