I just can't get into the sous vide concept... I get that it gets the job done but then you still gotta come back and add grill marks and stuff or it's just boiled looking meat. Why not just cook it in the pan or the grill/smoker thingy you got in the first place?
Not knocking it, never had anything cooked in one. I can see how it would keep it juicy being vac sealed though
just seems like it creates more work for you.
You have a lifetime of experience eating that makes it hard to imagine what it is ...
What if the juices and fats never escaped the food you were cooking, and primarily stayed inside the meat - instead of dripping on coals, burning to a pan, or otherwise? ...
The extra work is mostly all for aesthetics - I don't do it for myself when I sous vide Tue night's meal ...
Do it in your sink or cooler and report back =)
It's not that hard ... you can do a piece of fish really easily in a cooler using hot water from the tap ...
Beyond that, it's a bit of a lifestyle ... a really laid back, low pressure one ...
A lot of it is about timing ...
The juicy lucy will be a more obvious choice for sous vide than sliders, but once the sous vide is down, it's hard not to use it because it's honestly quite convenient ...
PS - there isn't a single rare slider that doesn't have white unrendered fat in the least cook center - well, except all of mine that is =)
I think Bumper or Booma are close to having one, and then they'll be all the rage ... LOL.
