Anyone cook Sous Vide style?

If you already have a crock pot or roaster I would just get a https://www.amazon.com/Inkbird-Itc-...28376&sr=1-2&keywords=digital+temp+controller

Turn the crock pot on max then let the controller deal with the perfect water temp. I have a huge roaster that will fit a whole turkey sitting in storage I should break out with one of these.

We looked at the crockpot method and decided against it because my wife liked the single unit that circulated as well as heated the water, and we gave our original Bluetooth model away and bought a WiFi version of the Anova. My wife can put frozen chicken in the pot with water at the correct level, leave the house and turn it on from her phone when it's time.

I have an Anova and really like it. It is a great way to cook a steak. Perfectly done from edge to edge, every time.

Thanks! You just cost me $119 on Amazon.

I got some ribeyes and t-bones in the freezer that I'll bag up.

Yeah, well you contributed to me wanting a PCC gun. So you got off cheap.

So does the anova unit both heat and circulate the water? Basically; you put the food in a baggie, clip the unit to the side of a pot of water, set your time and temp and then turn it on using your phone and the app? It's really that simple?

Great idea. Just ordered one.

That's exactly what it does. And it is that simple.

You have to make sure the food stays submerged so it cooks evenly.

Most like to sear afterwards on a hot grill or pan.

You can take a cheap top sirloin, sous vide it for 8 hours or so and it will be nice and tender but not overcooked.

Thanks. Looks like I'll be spending $119 too! Wife and I both enjoy cooking, this will be good.

The dude is a little goofy, but if you get past that (and them basically selling their sous vide machine), this video is a good overview of doing a steak.

I had a box on my porch when I got home from the range. Wasn't supposed to be here until tomorrow. So I have a ton of these thin sirloin tip steaks in the freezer, so I grabbed a couple out as I got my bags in. I think it just might work out...
