    Cold Smoked Deviled Eggs

    Did you fully peel the eggs before smoking them? My whites turn out a much darker color. Granted one time I forgot and accidently left them on for around 4 hours and loved them so much, I always leave them on for 4 hours now, but I'm pretty sure mine are pretty dark yellow-ish brown-ish by the...

    About 99% of the london broils in my area are top round.

    So, the 48 hour SV in a vacuum seal bag also rendered A LOT of liquid. My wife swears it's less than the first one, but I think it's about the same. But I still don't doubt that water got into the bag on the first one. The water smelled like the meat tasted.. Very disgusting. Needless to say...

    That thread both inspired and terrified me. I must say what you did is absolutely amazing. The pictures after the smoke says it all. I can't imagine the flavor that came out of those... If I ever were to make my own, it would be 100% based off of your posts!

    50th Wedding Anniversary—Prime Rib—Hickory Smoked (Panned)

    So... I have 15 pounds of rib roasts, but they are in 3 different sections. Every time I went through the store I bought another one! I think I might only make 12 pounds and save 3 for a later date. But the sales aren't over and I might grab some more at these cheap prices and vacuum seal and...

    So I just finished my 2nd corned beef. This time I went 140 for 48 hours. For simplicities sake, I didn't smoke it. I pulled it out of the SV and sliced off a few pieces to see if it was even worth eating. Everybody loved it so much we ate half of it before I could get it to the smoker. So...

    Well... Not happy with the results. I don't know if it's because I haven't had corned beef in a very long time or if I ruined it, but here is where things stand. I pulled the meat out of the sous vide, sliced off a piece, and the flavor tasted like a plastic pool toy. I was actually worried that...

    Thanks for the recipe @dr k -- I read in several other places that you need between 160-180 for a longer time to really break down all the connective tissue. So I cold smoked for nearly 6 hours and now it's in the sous vide at 172 where it will stay for the next 24 hours. I fried a small...

    Hey all, had a couple of store bought corned beef briskets sitting the freezer for a while so I thought I'd try out some cold smoked, sous vide pastrami. I've read several articles on cold smoking the corned beef, but I'm not sure if it's 100% safe. I soaked it for about 8 hours and changed...

    Sous Vide Top Round (Tender Test)

    I haven't, but I just saw some eye of round at the store the other day and almost grabbed it. Looks like it's even leaner... less calories and slightly higher protein, which is what I'm after so I'll have to give it a shot!

    Leg of lamb roast (boneless)

    Nice! SV lamb is one of my favourites... and dunking the meat in the jus that comes out of the SV bag is heaven! I have been following a 24 hour recipe, but now I'll have try the shorter cook based on your post.

    First FRESH chicken breasts...

    +100 on the Sous Vide chicken breast. It's a real game changer. The other thing I discovered that's changed my life with chicken breasts is brine. A 24 soak in saltwater, then 145 for 2-2.5 hours -- most flavorful, juicy chicken breasts I've ever had. No need to do anything else to them...

    WOW!!! Anova 900w Wi-fi/Bluetooth on Cyber Monday. Best EVER Price.

    I actually bought the 900w Anova on Amazon Prime Day for $69. It doesn't show up in price history trackers apparently because it was a discount applied at checkout and not the actual price. Looks like the $75 price was one day only...
