    "Sous Vide" Discussion

    Call me an effeminate Frenchman if you would like, but I have a question for those still interested in the original topic...what are your thoughts / experience with rubs and sous vide? I've played around with several different combinations / methods and have noticed the steak is much juicier if...

    "Sous Vide" Discussion

    First, great thread, guys - great idea to start it.  In the interests of full disclosure, I'm a sous vide convert and I own a Sansaire immersion circulator, and am a Kickstarter backer for both the Searzall (torch attachment) and the Anova 2 (end generation Anova immersion circulator).  I am not...

    Review of chamber vacuum sealer, Vacmaster vp112

    Hi Lisa- I'm currently having some serious internal debate about which vacmaster to order from you...and what's really hanging me up is the dry pump vs the oil pump.  If $ was no issue, I'd order the 215 and never look back, but when I consider it's essentially twice the cost of the 112 I can...

    Foiling Juice...Chef JimmyJ

    Interesting about meat down in the foil - I will have to give that a shot. I'm trying this foiling sauce for the first time right now...and I can't wait to taste the results!

    Olive oil question

    My apologies if this has been asked and answered...I searched, but did not find it. Like many, I like to dry rub the night before and then cook the next day...but I don't oil the meat when I do, but many do and I don't understand why they do. I definitely oil when searing (or reverse searing)...

    I screwed up Filet tonight...and it was awesome.

    OK.  I totally miscalculated dinner tonight...wife was working, should be home about 7:15 / 7:30.  I had thawed and seasoned two Sam's Club Choice Grade Filet's the night before with the intention of making them tonight - Mrs. TJ does love her steak.  Get the COS smoker stable to 215 and toss...

    Dumb Tri-Tip question...

    I will apologize in advance - no pics. Ate (inhaled) it too quickly... was amazing. I got impatient and pulled it out of the smoker at 125, and honestly, I will probably pull it off at 120 next time. Gave it a seat of 2 minutes per side, wrapped it in foil and towels and it got a ready of...

    Dumb Tri-Tip question...

    Thanks, all - and Mbogo, when I saw it in the meat cooler my eyes about popped out of my skull.

    Dumb Tri-Tip question...

    OK...first, I'll start by saying I stumbled across Prime grade tri-tip at Costco the other day and bought them out.  I've never seen prime grade before and the marbling looks fantastic - really excited about these.  I'm trying to post a pic, but I'm new so it may take a bit for the mods to...

    Hi There...

    So I've been lurking for a few weeks and finally decided to join...I'd like to start by thanking TulsaJeff and everyone else for making these forums the resource they are - tons of information here, and it's helped tremendously. Mrs. TJ just purchased me one of the Smoke Hollow 4 in 1 units...
