sous vide--anyone?

wagirl — Sun, 09 Feb 2025 15:24:35 GMT

This cooking method fascinates me---watched Amer Test Kitchen yesterday and they did very thick boneless pork chops in a sous vide machine----I have an Instant pot that has that, ability but have never used it. My brother does sous vide with steaks----and loves it. Apparantly, you can cook alot of different food that way.

I bought one of the units several years ago when QVC first offered them, got it home, decided it was just too much for me to tackle since I was at work all day. If you get one and love it please post about it, I may try it again.

@We rescue cats Same here. We tried it a few times and didn't see the point of it. More work than advantage.

@wagirl We were gifted a sous vide by our nephew. He likes to challenge us with items we may not consider buying ourselves.

We LOVE it for things like pork chops, tuna steaks, etc. Tender - beyond belief. Easy once you use it a couple times.

Our nephew swears by it for brisket.

I don't have one, but a couple of years ago I was visiting friends who had an early version of sous vide. It made the absolute best steak I ever had.I could not believe how tender it was. It seemed like a lot of work, but worth it, in my opinion.

@We rescue cats ----I don't need that tool as my pressure cooker does all that for me--has a cycle and a button on it----interesting, right?

My son uses it a lot. He thinks it cooks the food well; I can't say I notice any great difference. Don't know if everyone does this, but he always grills or broils the meat afterwards - for flavor and appearance.

@wagirl I think the one I bought was immersed into a pan of water or something, I don't remember exactly but it was pricey and I didn't think I would get the use out of it.

Do you use your sous vide setting?

@We rescue cats --yes--it has that setting---I need to read up on how to use it. Think next time I will get some thick pork chops to try. DD and do like pork but I seem to dry it out cooking them lately. The meats do come out pretty pale, so you need to brown them to look pretty--think I will do that on my Ninja outdoor grill--

@VanSleepy

I would definitely have to put the food on the grill or under the broiler after using the Sous Vide cooking method. The appearance of food using Sous Vide doesn't look very appetizing.

I've purchased some ready made entrees at the grocery store that are cooked this way. They are so easy to heat and eat and a steal when they go on sale for $6.99.

Have you cooked anything in sauce or frozen after cooking?

@wagirl my brother also does sous vide with steaks. They turn out great.
