    Surf and Turf for dinner. Mock Tenderloin and Taco! (Octopus)

    Got a great thumbs up from the wife and kid last night for a Surf and Turf dinner I made for 'em! Turf was Mock Tenderloin steaks that are extremely cheap by the pound ($2.60/lb) and generally tough and difficult. The magic of turning them into a succulent, juicy, and tender meat is to cook them...

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

    It's back on sale right now at $99 on Amazon. Don't know how long that will last, but nice to see the occasional sales of this primo machine! (I own two of them now...and a Wancle that I'm not thrilled with!)

    My review of the Aukuyee Sous Vide Immersion Circulator. Grade -C

    It could very well be your router, not your Anova. Some routers get very finicky, while others are glitch-free. It's a thought.

    My review of the Aukuyee Sous Vide Immersion Circulator. Grade -C

    I've never had a problem. Both of mine connect without issue.

    My review of the Aukuyee Sous Vide Immersion Circulator. Grade -C

    It is likely that the Anova Wi-fi/Bluetooth unit could be restarted remotely. I'll have to try that with one of mine and see if it's possible. The Anova connects with Wi-Fi on power up so, it seems likely. I'll report results.

    Sous Vide Mock Tenderloin Steak.

    I deglaze my pans regularly with cold on hot, but this Demeyer fry pan is so easy to clean with a spash of BarKeeper's Friend. Always comes out in a minute or two of scubbing, looking like new. I regularly spend a little time cleaning all my Stainless Steel multi-ply cookware with that scrubbing...

    6.7lb Eye of Round for French Dip Au Jus and Sammy meat beyond

    The green camp cans used with the TS-8000 torch by itself that the Searzall fits on DO sometimes infuse a "torch taste". That is because you have to invert the can somewhat to use the torch and the propane tends to spit, causing it to infuse taste sometimes. With the Searzall installed, that gas...

    6.7lb Eye of Round for French Dip Au Jus and Sammy meat beyond

    I do the sear on big meat with a Greenway Flamethrower that is made for killing weeds. Available at Harbor Freight with a cheaper price than Amazon.

    6.7lb Eye of Round for French Dip Au Jus and Sammy meat beyond

    Yu Yup! I used to do these for 40+ hours, but you convinced me to try at around 21, and I've been there ever since. I catch sales at U.S. Foods Chef's Store on this cut, which comes up regularly at around $2.50/lb. Keep this and other cuts in my freezer, and try to keep it full! Usually full...

    6.7lb Eye of Round for French Dip Au Jus and Sammy meat beyond

    Early in the Weekend I did a 22 hour cook of a 6.7lb Eye of Round Roast. After searing, I split the roast in two and cut half of it in very thin slices for French Dip Au Jus with caramelized onions and provolone cheese melted on buns in the broiler. The other half was sliced into sandwich meat...

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

    Looks like it was VERY temporary. I hope Chopsaw caught it. That being said, $99 is still a GREAT price. Usually $129 and the unit is really the best in my opinion. Cheers!

    Amazon has some really great Black Friday deals going on for Smokers, Grills, and Accessories right now. Don't know how long this will go...maybe through the weekend, but there's a LOT of deals.

    48qt Sous Vide Cooler mod...

    If you have either the Anova 800 or 900 watt circulators, and you want to modify a cooler like the one I have done (twice now), you will need a 2 3/8" hole saw. The one I use is inexpensive and includes an arbor so that you can immediately use it with a drill. This cuts through the cooler...

    48qt Sous Vide Cooler mod...

    I have run my cooler with sous vide immersion for as much as 72 hours at a time with VERY little loss of water from evaporation. One time I added about 2 quarts to bring the level back to max, but that's it. The lid captures evaporative water and drips it back into the bath.
