"The" new hot tub arrived today.....

The polyscience sous vide arrive 34 days early.  I didn't get real excited when I saw the package because I thought it was my order from Amazon a day early (new shoes and toasted marshmellow syrup for campfire martinis).  MDSH asked what was soooo heavy and WOW.  There it was.  Then I had to tell him what I bought.  Let the fun begin.

Every day is a bonus day and every meal is a banquet in Winter Springs, Fl !

  • Congrats!!!  I'm currently working on trying to get one with Marriott points.  I can get Williams-Sonoma gift cards with points and they sell the Polyscience  unit.  I've requested the card, now I wait.  Now I need suggestions on vacuum sealers.  My old Food Saver is on its last leg.  Is it worth popping for a heavier duty sealer???

  • "Is it worth popping for a heavier duty sealer???"

    Not for SV purposes. You can do it in a ziplock bag so there is no benefit to a "heavier duty"'sealer to cook SV.

  • I'm interested in the poly sci creative.  I still want to be able to finish (sear) with the egg instead of torch or skillet.  Can I still do that or is torch/skillet essentially replacing the egg sear?

    You just want enough air out of the bag so it isn't a witch, I mean, doesn't float. 

    @burr_baby33 - I use the egg for most of my searing after SV.  I've only used the torch a couple of times.

    I'm starting to keep a log book of time and temp., as there are so many variables. Two days ago I did boneless, skinless chicken breasts. I used my jaccard, then brined with Oakridge's brine mix for 1-1/2 hours. Sous Vide @ 147 for 2 hours, then seared. Super moist and tender, this is my magic number for breast from now on. I'm may keep experimenting with different temps., but I don't think I could get it any better.

    Do you like that brine? I have a 2-lb bag but I haven't used it yet. I usually go to my old standby of salt-sugar-water and right when I start to combine, I remember "dammit, I have this in the cabinet".

    I like it alot. Just add water and some ice to chill quickly (1 cup of mix to 1/2 gallon of water). I've added some different herbs and aromatics for other meats when I remember to do it.
