Do You Even Cook, Bro?

Super fun video on kitchen knives. https://youtu.be/lsNX2L88eys

Almost like Forged in Fire but with culinary references.

Amazon deal of the day on the Anova sous vide cookers: 800W/Bluetooth for $94.95, 900W/Wifi+Bluetooth for $111.95. I'm still holding out for a good deal on the Joule (smaller and more powerful), but those prices are great.

I'm still holding out for a good deal on the Joule (smaller and more powerful), but those prices are great.

I wanted that one for the longest time but honestly the Anova is just fine. I'd take a second 900W Anova before getting a Joule, just not enough extra features with it to justify it.

I’ve had both and Joules higher power/capacity is definitely a benefit for higher temp cooks that vegetables call for, like potatoes, I couldn't get either of my Anova hot enough for Chef Steps Pomme Purée recipe @ 194°/90°. Faster temp rebound after dropping in food especially larger items is nice too.

Anova was good enough for protein temps.

Portobello mushroom burger... grilled. Garlic, oil, balsalmic vinegar, fresh basil, Swiss, red onions, sweet-spicy marinated red peppers, Texas caviar, home-made guac, Sriracha.

I see I'm way late to this sous vide thing. I wouldn't have even bothered googling what it meant, and then I happened to see one on a holiday gift guide. I can barely fry an egg, and the steak I cooked tonight came out like this:



The thing is idiot-proof: season the meat, put it in a Ziploc bag with some olive oil, and drop it in the cooker. Sear it when it comes out and voila.

Some northern chinese comfort food to go with this winter weather. Lamb legs were like $17 a pound so I used ox tail instead.

Braised beef-glass noodle-flat bread stew with more homemade flatbread stuffed with diced fatty pork belly and pickled garlic.

After reading about Butter Chicken Lady's approach to cooking in Dallas Morning News, I picked up her book. We made the butter chicken recipe tonight, which I can only describe as "amazeballs," and I don't even like Indian food.

If you're looking for yummy and dirt-simple, it's worth the $8 investment.

For the instant pot users - some pots are melting down with use

For those folks that are doing the low carb thing, these two cookbooks are awesome. We make something from the Instant Pot one about four times a week, and the other has been great for snacks.
