  • Is cooking in a sous vide better than the regular methods? We tested out the sous vide a little while back in a gadget review video but our chefs really wanted to put it through the paces. Could we really get the PERFECT steak cooked in a water bath?
    You can find out more about the sous vide in the link below. Just so you know, this is an affiliate link, which means if you buy something from the store after clicking on it, the store will pay us a percentage of your basket... This doesn't cost or change anything else for you!
    If you want to try the sous vide for yourself, here's the one we used: amzn.to/2Hhi3AQ

    Only used about 6 times so far but food turning out great. czcams.com/users/postUgkxK2YRU9uBOXzuIEV660Qo3sX7dJDJLg72 Nice tender roasts. You do want to get a lid to go over your stock pot to keep water from evaporating. I've used it for 6-48 hours with lots of luck. A lot is trial and error to figure out since thickness and cut help determine the best time. 135 always gives a perfect med (pink all the way through). I cooked frozen solid 3 1/2" roast for 48 hours ... it was so tender its almost falling apart. Nice to put it in and just forget about it, with silicone lid I didn't have to add water at all during 48 hours.

    I would recommend not pouring the juice from the bag into the searing pan until you've developed some browning. The liquid will impede the development of a good crust. But once you have some browning and moisture is no longer an issue, it's a great idea to finish it off with a reduction of the liquid.

The other guys must use Soues Vide cooker, Torch to sear, Copper-Pan to add a fried egg, Instant Pot to pressure cook or braise, Wine aerator, rice cooker, digital timer, digital thermometer, Soda Stream for a drink, Keurig Pod or fancy bean roaster + grinder + drip coffee pot for after dinner coffee, Ice-cream maker, etc. Every gadget you can think of to 'help' the non-chefs. TWIST: Gadget cooks cannot use traditional tools like oven, hob, knives, etc. "Gadget Meal vs Traditional Meal" battle. Time each side uses to produce the meal is to be recorded, but not part of the judging. TWIST: Each side must then clean up their gear and the clean-up time must also be recorded.

    Yes, very much enjoyed this, and I'll tell you why: cancer. I had it last year (rectal, which is thankfully treatable - surgery, blah blah blah). Luckily things are looking good for the future, but I have had to completely change my diet and will continue to be changing it as I explore and learn more. What interests me with sous vide (immersion circulator) is that you are not frying and for a lot of dishes you do not NEED to add fat(s). The concentration of flavors concept is of particular interest as I've gone to very little salt (less than 500 mg per day) very little sugar (nothing refined) and as close to no fat as possible (also whole grain and vegetable based, no red meats, no overly fatty meat, lots of fun!). So a cooking method that will concentrate flavors the way sous vide does without having to spend a lot of money (which I'm already forced to do) on ingredients (spices, herbs, veggies, etc.) that might not normally be consumed after cooking, and can do so without a lot of salt, sugar and fat, is very appealing.

      Not only that, but they REALLY needed to actually pat the steak dry, not just set it on a paper towel and then seasoning in and covering it in oil. Major rookie move for chefs. Should've had some oil in a ripping hot cast iron, dry steak, great color in about a minute, flip. Add butter and aromatics, butter baste 30 seconds - a minute, out and done. Also, I prefer to go a touch on the rare side when doing sous vide steak.

      @@mjf69 I was going to say the exact same thing. Too much moisture! I do mine almost exactly how you describe, but I like to smear butter on each side of the steak before it goes in to the pan.

    • @kevinrn777
      @kevinrn777 Před 4 lety +9

      @@ask230 I'd disagree as the steak is already at the appropriate temperature... If the pan is very hot then you minimize the amount of heat transferred to the perfectly cooked center while you develop a nice crust. What I personally do to guarantee this without burning butter is sous vide with a smashed garlic and a knob of butter on each side of the steak. Then pat dry and season so that, 1) the oil doesn't reduce in temperature from having to vaporize the moisture into steam and 2) minimal amounts of steam are produced minimizing internal heat transfer and maximizing mallard browning. Then put it on a skillet that is pre heated on max heat for 5 minutes minimum before the high smoke point oil is added. This is because 1) the skillet gets past the oils smoke point which is cooled down slightly when the oil is added, then a bit more when the steak is added thus, in theory, maximizing oil and pan temp while minimizing internal heat transfer and getting a nice dark crust in about 30-45 seconds per side. I find this gives me a nice garlic flavor throughout, nice buttery notes without running the risk of burning butter on your hunk of meat and you can optionally make a steak sauce with the oil with some butter, maybe cream and aromatics (not that it should really need it anyways). AND DON'T FORGET TO RENDER YOUR FAT CAPS!
      of course this is just my method I've developed by using my sous vide to cook steaks about once a month for the past year, and is merely an opinion on a method.

      I've known a lot of people who've tried sous vide and haven't understood the process for cooking beef. When it comes out all grey and not terribly appealing I think their intuition is that it's not cooked properly, because there's no crust. You need a piping hot pan and a quick sear to finish it off, not to finish cooking it. I have one friend who came into it thinking it was boiling the meat. His first attempt at a brisket he cooked it sous vide and then smoked it for 3/4 the normal time. Still working on converting him.

      @@frankthetank1779 And there's nothing wrong with a traditionally cooked steak! But sous vide is so easy now with the plethora of, fairly reasonably priced, immersion circulators out there bringing the ability to cook sous vide to the masses. A little patience can bring a big reward! :) I'm particularly a fan being red-green colourblind, it's very difficult for me to tell when red meat is cooked well. To a large degree sous vide takes the guesswork out of it. And honestly, it doesn't take THAT long to sous vide a steak, and it's time you don't have to pay attention to it. You can vacuum pack a bunch of steaks and pop them in the sous vide when you get home from work and a few hours later they're ready for you to slap 'em in a hot skillet for dinner!

    I love my Anova but you guys made a mistake with the fillet steak... you have to get really aggressive with the paper towels to make sure the it's dry on the outside before putting in the pan to sear, otherwise the first few minutes are just evaporating the water (and over cooking the steak) before the crust starts to form. Or my personal favourite, just blow torch it as the heat won't penetrate beyond the outer crust and you can just baste with butter as you torch it.
    My favourite Sous vide recipies:
    smoker-less ribs... do a dry rub, add some liquid smoke to the bag (not a lot) 74C for 12 hours and then finish in the oven layering on sauce every 10 mins.
    Lamb Shank 63C for 48 hours you can really go bold on the flavours with this one, and the leftover juices make a great pan sauce/gravy
    Eggs Benedict. poach the eggs at 64C for about 45-60 mins depending on how jammy/runny you want the yolk. then make the hollandaise by putting all the ingredients in a bag into the same bath for 30 mins, then pour out into a jug and use a stick blender to emulsify everything.

      Barbara Danley for those of us who live in Apartments having a smoker at home is generally not a viable, or safe, option. I’m puzzled by you snobbery over liquid smoke though as it’s simply condensed smoke. It is practically identical in terms of its composition and the end product (if you use the right amount) with the exception of the fact you won’t have a smoke ring around your product. I’d point you at the following serious eats article for a bit more info. www.seriouseats.com/2013/11/pantry-essentials-liquid-smoke.html
