First thing I've done with the new toy. Pretty good stuff. Next time I'll cook them at 130 instead 140.

    Not the first thing I would've thought of to do sous vide, Bravo!

    @Botch they wanted me to grill burgers for them so I threw in a few burgers in the sous vide for us to try.

    Agree. I attempted anus. Wasn't impressed with the results. Going for turkey breast next. 

    Location- Just "this side" of Biloxi, Ms.

    Status- Standing by.

    I'm not sure I would have enjoyed "anus" either...

    Ever had it deep fried? It's a delicacy.

    Scottie, how many times have you "attempted anus"?  I seem to remember you talking about this prior to your foray into sous vide...

    Sous vide is a really nice way to cook thick/pub style burgers.

    Couple of SV burger tricks for those so-inclined to try. Get your patty the way you like it- when we do SV burgers we do them thick but very loosely packed. Very airy if you will. Either way, freeze the patties before you vac them down. The seal not only compresses the meat but it also pinches the sides down to a sharp angle. If you freeze first, then your burger won't be compressed to hockey puck like density and the edges will be as thick as the middle. Cook it med rare at 130 or so for 1-4 hours and you will have a perfectly safe to eat med rare bloody burger- even with the storebought commodity meat.

    4 plus hours to kill all the koodies, if I remember correctly, and that's after it's 130 through and through.

    I would have thought anus would be a match made in heaven for sous vide.
    Anus is tough if it is under-cooked and tough when over-cooked.
    I would have thought sous vide would have put that anus right smack in the middle of the Goldilocks zone. A perfect Al dente, firm to the bite without being overly chewy.

    The only place pig and/or goat anus is a "match made in heaven" is in Mississippi (just this side of Biloxi)
