New Sous Vide cooker

[wild west]

Has anyone tried using one of these things to heat up pre smoked, cooked vacuum packed meats. I am always looking for good ways to heat up my vacuum packed meats without over cooking and drying them out.

Randy,

Randy,

Yes, and frequently.

Last time was post-Thanksgiving when I had a half of a whole turkey breast left over that I had bagged and froze. A couple weeks later, I put into the water bath, still frozen, with the circulator set at 135F. When dinner time rolled around about 5 hours later, it was perfect.

I would like to figure out a way to vacuum seal a suckling pig and run two sous vide cookers on a large cooler. Anyone figure that out let me know.

Sorry.... double post..

just wanted to +1 sous vide.. I've done steaks, lobster, eggs, chicken, pork belly, etc.. so far everything has turned out good to great. I even sous vide packaged bacon (thick) which was a big hit with the fam. seriouseats is my go to website for sous vide recipes.

chicken breast really shines - I'm not a cook by any means but sous vide method with the constant temperature removes a lot of guesswork for there's a big window of time that frees me up to do other things. low and slow but in water.. lol. I haven't done any super long cooks yet but bought a smoker recently so will try a hybrid once I get a few cooks under my belt on the smoker.

That's reason enough for me to buy one thanks.

I know I am late to the conversation, but I ran across this link the other day, and the recipes look pretty interesting.

Let me know what you think.

Randy, I do that quit often. Costco Prime Tri Tips, season with what you want, smoke for about 1 hr as low as you can then freeze.

When you want one just S. V. at 125 for 2 hrs. and finish with a quick sear. Works every time for me.
