    Slicer Experience

    I purchased 2 small home slicers an was not impressed with them at all so I went back to using a good sharp knife till I found a commercial one. I kept an eye out and got a Hobart 12 inch that is manual or automatic for $200. Very satisfied with it

    Need advise

    That was exactly my thoughts. I’ve done quite a few chuck roast sous vide and shared them with other friends and three have bought their own unit . These things are great

    Need advise

    I started two nice fours pound chuck roast Thursday evening at 4:30 at 133 degrees for a 24 hour cook and when I got home from work Friday at 3:30 discovered my Joule had stopped at 9:48 Friday morning because of a power outage. The temp of the water was 82 degrees. I restarted and was thinking...

    UH OH, MES bit the dust

    I think before I would try Masterbuilt replacement parts I would consider one of the plug and play PID controls from Auber The features on them are worth it

    Not sure what to do

    Found the problem It seems the element went out. Anyone know where to get another element other than Masterbuilt?

    Advice needed

    That’s exactly my thoughts, That sous vide has made some fine tasting food lately. Just trying to justify the money I spent on the Joule to the wife! Buy first and ask for forgiveness later or when ya get caught.

    HAM.... easy peasy... no mess.... DISCLAIMER.. MONEY...

    I am going to pull the trigger and do one of these. I am gathering all the supplies at the moment and was wondering if this ingredient is the same as the Amesphos you are using? This has to be absolutely amazing in taste! I could eat that pic of the finished ham all day.

    Advice needed

    Thanks I’m thinking of starting the smoker at 120 deg for about 1 hour to dry a bit then bumping temp to 130 and holding it there with smoke for 4 more hours. Then sous viding them in a bath starting at 130 and set for150 so it would ramp up slowly and holding it there for 1 hour?

    Sous Vide Pork chops

    Sous Vide thick pork chop with some experimental beans and some steamed vegetables. The pork chop was sour vided at 140 degrees for 1 1/2 hour and finished with a quick sear in the cast iron skillet on the stove. Absolutely DEVINE!! The beans had the spice and background heat I was looking for...
