Sous Vide Supreme Demi "clean burn"

I noticed for some time that if I forgot to clean out the SV thingy, some mucoid stuff would start to accumulate after a few days. Probably more of a testament to Houston's poor tap water quality than anything else. Since taking the SVS demi over to the sink and washing out is a bit tedious, I figured I would see how high the temp would go.

Turns out that the max temp is 210°F... almost boiling temp of water. So one day, I set it to that and let it go for a few hours before turning it off. When I opened it up today - no slime! Dropped in some pork chops last night (lunch for today). Hiked the temp up again to the max for an SV clean burn today.

May save me some effort. Or I may end up as a petri dish.

Chops on the mini. I think they were cut from Costco racks o' pork in 2013. Tasted great though. 400°F direct, apple wood for smoke.image

    I have the same problem with the coffee urn that I use for my diy sous vide rig, unfortunately, the urn's builtin in thermostat would not allow heating beyond 175-178F :(  

    Nice chunky chops you got there, no turkey?

    Happy Thanksgiving nonetheless!

    Try running it at 175°F for a few hours. Maybe it will be enough?

    I'm cooking on Saturday. Decided to pickle my liver today a bit :D
