There's not a chance in hell my wife would bring that home.

Looks good! You were the inspiration behind me bringing a piggy head home some time ago.

My wife would bring home a winning lottery ticket sooner than she would bring this home.

Very cool.  Looks like an episode of Chopped.

Simply awesome. Have you tried the eggs in the Trés Booblay? I’ve had a couple like that when I SV overcooked some soft boilers. Never tried to repeat, thanks for the shoyu-tamago link!

Cracklins and tofu?

s_claus

I think my wife would shoot me if brought one of those home and expected here to eat it.

Thanks all for reading and sharing.
Yup it's not for everyone!

@caliking - no one can touch your awesome pig head gumbo!

We tried three times to get one last week, it didn't take @caliking long to score one though? You have to be at an Asian market at the right time!

@skiddymarker - I tried sous vide at 160'ish once but they were almost impossible to peel even after dunking in ice water, any tips?  When we do sv 146 we crack like raw eggs.

@henapple - tofu gives a nice texture contrast

@Chubbs , my wife would be the same way
