Cooking with my Sous Vide

July 16, 2017July 20, 2017 by Laura, posted in My Thoughts, Recipes

A few weeks ago I bought a dozen chicken thighs, sucked the air out of you few bags, seasoned some thighs one way, some another. Then dropped then in a big pot of water, set the Sous Vide to cook to 160 degrees, and went about my day. Wen we took them out, we freed up the skin, made a gravy and yum…

Then a few of the remaining bags went into the freezer. Tonight, before I left for the movies, I pulled out a bag, dropped in the water, set the Sous Vide to 157 degrees, and came home to some truly good chick, ready to have the skin fried to a crisp in a hot pan in butter. I think Im finally finding a great use for the sous vide.

Please let me know if you make it. Invite me over or leave a tip. its gotta be scruptous. Im thinking to do the mushroom in a pan with just a sprinkling of onions, then butter the toast and fry it up in the same pan. I wonder the recipe says to do?

The Perfect Steak

You can sear your steak in a pan then bake it and you will get a good steak.

If you want a better steak put a room temperature steak into a 250 degree oven until the internal temperature reaches 90 degrees. Remove from the oven and sear in a hot pan.
