She's apparently also made hotdogs in a dryer and meatballs in a coffee maker. 

I'm kind of afraid to think about what her plan is when she runs out of household appliances.

i used to make grilled cheese sandwiches in a bagel toaster, lay it on its side and put the plate in front to catch it.

I'm more worried about the toaster than the steaks...

Been think about trying this on those long drives to Philly.

We used to do this while 4wheelin.  We did hotdogs, burgers, and potatoes this way.  Burgers were always the most sketchy.  You need to flip the food occasionally.

9 hour low and slow. Blue tooth temps to the phone. Pulled pork for dinner on arrival. Just got to design a cooking box and mount it.

I am a poor man. Mine are old.

If you turn the toaster sideways you can reheat slices of pizza.

Reheated many a burrito on graveyard with an engine block. Also canned ravioli.

Interesting! I could see that working.

@canugghead - this got me thinking... I have a couple of steaks dry aging in the fridge. Was planning on letting one swim, then searing in a skillet. But I might try broiling in the toaster oven after SV, now. 

Stay tuned!

I do not always try crazy things, but when I do, I use carefully prepared and dry-aged steaks lovingly looked after for weeks.

@caliking Stop! After 250 low n slow in toaster oven, it was seared on CI grid sitting directly on lump. I wouldn’t broil in toaster oven, you’d probably get a brown band by the time crust is built?

Careful planning be damned. These are 2 non-1/2” wagyu NY strips that were drying in the fridge for 3 days, because I didn’t have freezer space after hitting a wagyu mother lode at H-E-B.

There’s only one way to find out

plan is to smear with duck fat and broil in the TO. Hold my beer...

Maybe she will age a steak in her snatch.

Yikes. I’ve heard of beef curtains but...

We used to heat up our lunch in gas chromatographs back in the day.  DDT and dioxins zipping by in a glass column....
