This sous vide cooker is about to be my new favorite gadget. This is my attempt cooking with it. Going to try chicken breast tomorrow.

Wait, how'd you cook it, just boiled? Or grilled?
Short answer-basically it was boiled.

Technically it isn't boiling because the water never reaches boiling temperature. Steak is medium rare at 129* so that's what I set the temp for. Once it heats up, submerge the meat for about 40 minutes(time varies depending on what you're cooking). After the set amount of time I could've eaten it right away. Instead I seared the outside for a couple minutes for color and extra flavor.

I need to try that. Looks good. Where did you get the temp gauge?

:lupe:

I need to get myself one of those. I didn't realize it would work with a zip lock bag.
Yeah, u just leave 1 corner open while submerging the rest and the water pressure forces the last bit of air out before you zip up the corner. fukk buying a vacuum sealer and those expensive ass bags

Did you mean to quote me? I haven't tried with fish yet but I did do 2 bone-in chicken breast the other day. Came out so damn tender. Put them under the broiler for a couple minutes to crisp up the skin and give it some color. Forgot to take pictures tho.
I just found a copycat recipe for El Pollo Loco's marinade. Can't wait to try that this weekend.
