:lol:

I know, I know...I'm ignorant to the benefits.   I get that...

...but I have to tell you, every time I read a thread here and someone mentions SV you might as well be typing, "and then my yoga instructor told me... "  NEXT!

I'm on to the next thread.

    My yoga instructor told me that a SV has lots of benefits.  She also sold me some magic crystals that have changed my life.  I'm even thinking about going vegan based on her advice.

    I love the SV threads. I also do yoga, running and golf 2-4 time a week just so I can fat out on the egg.

    Yes!  I am sure it is amazing, but I like cooking on the Egg and all the wonders it can produce.  I have a hot tub if I really need to warm up the meat before hand.  :)

    By the way, one of the best meals I've had recently consisted of spares I started with the SV, cooled, and then smoked for an hour on the Egg.

    I use to do the very same thing. Then one day @Thatgrimguy invited me over to eat. The chicken he did with SV was insane. Every since, when I see SV, I pay close attention. It was that good.

    I've only done it a couple of times, the poor man's version with a cheap cooler. Planning to get a "real" SV device soon. I do NOT tune out when I see a SV thread.

    I hate it when I go to the kitchen for food and all I find are ingredients!

    I've never questioned anyone's methods for prepping food. I could care less if you make it in the microwave, if it looks and tastes good I'm all over it.

    I think you mean "could not" care less. To be able to care less means that you do care.

    Well, "spa-Peggy" is kind of like spaghetti. I'm not sure what Peggy does different, if anything. But it's the one dish she's kind of made her own.

    I thought SV was a gimmick.  Then I ate a steak cooked by @nolaegghead .  I am a convert.

    Love the humor, good responses, thanks.   :plus_one:   One of the great things about this forum, is nobody takes themselves toooooo seriously.

    And yes, what was I thinking mentioning Yoga?!?... the recent yoga pants trend alone is reason enough to stop by and give a donation to the nearest studio!

    And no, I don't question that SV yields great results, just being honest and seeing how others browse the forum.   NEXT!  :lol:

    147 for 24 hrs.  Then refrigerated for a couple of hours until cool.  Finished at 350+ on the Egg for an hour to add smoke.
