Has anyone ever hot tubbed a 4lb london broil? Right now it is marinating in a mixture of..... 1/3 cup olive oil, 1/3 cup soy sauce, 1/4 cup honey, lots of fresh chopped garlic and fresh cracked black pepper. This is a great marinade for flank steak also!

    I haven't but absolutely no reason it would not work great.

    Well I just completed a hot tub on a 4lb london broil. Was eggcellent!!!! No pictures though, camera battery dead!!! I hot tubbed about one hour, more or less. Next time I probably will hot tub for at least one and one half hours, or a little more. Cooked at 475, about three mintues per side and let dwell for about seven minutes.

    I just make sure they are properly sealed and toss into the spa, 102F, for an hour or so, Have done this with poultry, beef, hams, whole turkeys etc. The internal temp usually gets around 82-85F after an hour. Works great for me.

    The whole idea of hottubbing came from an article in Cooks Illustrated, they wanted to come up with a way to make a cheap cut (London Broil) come out like a more expensive cut. I don't remember their cooking times but they hottubbed for 1 hour at 100 degrees. -RP

    I was wondering about poultry and turkeys? Do you hot tub the same as red meat? I have been tempted to do poultry, but was a little afraid of the outcome.

    Over the years I have tossed into the spa frozen turkeys, chickens, butts and a few other large pieces of frozen meat. the key is to make sure the wrapper is secure. ziploc has a 2 gallon bag that I use sometimes. A 12 lb turkey takes more time then a 1 1/2 inch delmonico that is already defrosted. This works well for me.
