SOUS VIDE PASTRAMI, A FIRST FOR ME!

REMSR said:

I have A Masterbuilt 40" smoker that I have filled all 6 racks with pork ribs and cooked them all to perfection in 6 hours. Thanks to the 1200watt heating element. Imagine how effective the Sous Vide is at heating water and holding a set temp with those same 1200 watts. I don't think it fluctuates a degree one way or another.
When researching temp controllers for my WSM I read about how important steady regulated heat is to slow cooked foods as opposed to fluctuateing temps.
If that's not enough those 1200 watts heat a pot of water really fast.

Al,

The wattage has nothing to do with the temp fluctuation. All it boils down to is that your 1200 watt Gourmia unit will get to the target cook temp just a shade quicker than my 1000 watt Anova.

As far as the temp fluctuation is concerned, once at the target cook temp, most brands are in the same range. For example, the Gourmia unit is rated at ± 0.1°C whereas my Anova is rated at ± 0.01°C.

To the average home cook, those differences are negligible.

Looks fantastic, Al. 

I was in Winco the other day and they had choice standing rib roast for $4.85/lb, so I bought a small one (2-rib).  Sliced the ribs off and into a Foodsaver bag the roast went, then into the water bath set at 120F for about 6 hours, then finished in a 500F oven for about 10 minutes to develop a good crust.

Sous vide can turn a choice cut into meat as tender as prime.

I'm ordering mine today, I've been teased enough.

I'm going with the gourmia140 for $99. It's still 1200w...I just don't think wifi/app will be of great use to me.

Tim the tool man Convenced me that the more power the better, so ai went for the 1200 watt Gourmia and as Al said it holds right on target and gets there fast. I am pleased.
