Other ways to use a SVS

I love cooking things in jars like beans. I haven't really experimented much with what else to do in the bath but I've found a ton of stuff to play with in the chamber vac.

I've been wanting to buy a chamber vac, but still cant drop that much coin on a new kitchen toy. Maybe when my FoodSaver gives out on me.

What else have you cooked in jars? And tell me ore about these beans...is there a recipe floating around?

Thanks!

You can pretty much cook anything you would normally cook in a pot in a jar. For reference here is where I got the idea for the beans. freshstartcooking.blogspot.com/2012/12/why-bother-with-sous-vide-for-beans.html

Also, pulling from Heston Blumenthal, add some pineapple to the bean mix and it will give you great results due to the bromelain attacking the proteins for you.

Nice. Thanks!

I am going to brew sous vide beer soon...

You can make Crème Brûlée using a SVS by cooking in ramekins: http://blog.sousvidesupreme.com/2012/02/classic-creme-brulee-sous-vide/

Is that a 1500W element?

It doesn't say anywhere I would guess 1000w, 1500w might draw too much for some household circuits.

Cook a steak, have a nice foot bath, and make dessert all at the same time. Sounds like some kind of as seen on tv commercial

But wait! Call now and you'll receive two Ninja Foot Brulee Steak Machines for the price of one, only 4 easy payments of 499.99, no COD. Customers in NJ add 200% sales tax.

I can't wait for someone to undercut you with three easy payments.

Im pretty sure if you tried all three you would either burn your feet, not have your custard set or worse yet over cook your steak....

Depends on your tastes and pain tolerance.

It'll be like home cooking!

I can't actually think of much worse than burning your feet or the back of your knee pits. I did this while learning to surf in Hawaii when i was like 13 and it was unbelievably painful for like a week. Those tender areas are no joke!

I shredded my hands trying to learn to windsurf on an adult board at that age.

I never did learn to windsurf...

You silly guys.

That conversation veered off topic very quickly. I'd hate to see all of us in the same room drinking and cooking. We should have a modernist cuisine convention.

You cook, I'll drink. I am Welsh and Japanese it's in my blood.

I'm easy, I'm French, Belgian on my mothers side and Russian, Finnish on my fathers side.

So I like butter and vodka.

I'm Chinese, Vietnamese, Irish, Scottish and from Canada. I've got all angles covered. And I don't turn red when I drink (thanks dad for the irish genes).
