CS fries

Rob_Ransome_176184

I'm making a large batch of the fries, the recipe calls for a 1:1 ratio of potato/brine bagged and cooked SV, is it possible to fill a container up with brine and put my circulator directly in there or will that mess up the unit?

That has the potential to damage your unit. I would recommend against this.

I wouldn't......pieces of potato ingested in your circulator would be "detrimental" to say the least AND you have to be gentle with these until you cool/dry/and fry They are surprisingly delicate (think a mashed potato stick)...

Agree with Brian and "HCDDNWACS". To climb on the backs of what they conveyed, first there is glucose (sugar) on the brine which has the potential to become sticky against a heating element of the circulator. Also as H-S mention the potatoes become fragile and are also releasing some starch (which may stuck to the heating element).

This may make the heating element taste better ;-) but not likely easier to clean and potentially harmful to it (and ruin the potatoes in the process). Just my .02

You do not want salt water to come into contact with metal, it is highly corrosive. I suspect that it would also produce some off-taste to the food, as well, as the metals are probably not "non-reactive."

How about putting a smaller container in your water bath container similar to what CS does making the new version of cheese curds. It will take a while to get up to temp but add a little boiling water will speed it up. But I agree I don't think you want to abuse your circular or spend that much time cleaning it. And as the others have said, those are very delicate and you would probably end up with a large container of potato starchy water from the circulation.

great suggestion. I'll sit a stock pot in my usual polycarb box for better conductivity
