  •  A roast works

    Make sure it's as long as it is wide and you are fine. Or longer

    But a subprimal is better, less loss when you lop off the ends

    @JustineCaseyFeldown alrighty then, hopefully in january i'll give it a go.  after the guests are gone.  i think kids opening the fridge didn't help the cause either.

  • Fridge opening isn't an issue

    you want no wet surfaces. Get it on a rack

    @Little Steven @JustineCaseyFeldown what cut would you recommend for a beginner, that would fit in a beer fridge?
    Wasn't asked and am no expert.  Age a bone in or boneless prime ribeye of beef.  7 bones.  Age it no less than 45 days.  Probably no more than 60 days due to regular folks tastes.  My amateur opinion.

    I have a question for the more experienced Sous Vide people here, I actually just received an Anova .. I know you get an awesome sear using a cast iron skillet - but does anyone have an opinion on flipping over a set of Grill Grates and using the flat side to sear?

    Would I put the (for example) Ribeye dry or would a use some sort of oil?

    Pat off the moisture from SV. Use a high smoke point oil like grape seed or ghee either directly in the pan or brushed onto protein. I prefer 2-2.5 min per side.

    re pressure, you got that right!  cooking is a nice change of pace - no one gets hurt if you screw up, unless you serve them rotten meat!

    Everyday you wannabe!  Why work when you can sit back, drink beer and be fed great food?  Beats that chair in the garage every time!  Bitterness about to be spewed. ;)

    Almost the most intuitive answer. If I could just add, there is no difference between ghee and clarified butter with respect to smoke point. I love ghee on naan and paratha and as a cooking oil for any Indian food but I don't like the flavour in western foods.
