First Sous Vide Cook - Prime Rib

[56MPG]

The other part (hush don't tell anyone) is that I like having the excuse that I need to go out of the house and chill by the pit with a beer because I need to tend the meat.

Sous Vide works fine in the garage, shed, tent, cave...run an extension cord if you have to. Your lobster boat have a cabin?

I don't own a boat, We own a lobster dock and are lobster dealers.  Now with that link you've got me thinking...

Looks about perfect.

I'm on the fence about it.  Some very accomplished chefs I know rave about them relentlessly but there's just something about the challenge about cooking with charcoal and meat probes.  It seems like the SV would take a lot of the fun out of it.   The other part (hush don't tell anyone) is that I like having the excuse that I need to go out of the house and chill by the pit with a beer because I need to tend the meat.

The SV is a great tool to have in your tool belt. One of the great things about this device, is when you are busy with work and life stuff, it is sitting there in the background, churning away, cooking, and all you have to do when you get home is sear it for a few minutes of your time, then serve. I was like you... on the fence about it. Then a very dear friend/chef talked me into it. I never looked back.

Just read that article Marty. Holy crap. Anybody who says sous vide cooking is for the lazy needs to read up on that fella's lobster process.

I was on the fence about it because it does not involve the great outdoors, danger and fire nearly as much as Webers. And my charcoal pile calls to me.....the Kettles too.

Great looking hunk of beef @MrHoss...I have yet to get a SV and not sure that I want one. I like the challenge of cooking the perfect steak, roast or whatever. Maybe if I was cooking for lots of people at once more often I'd think about getting one. Till then, the fire awaits me.

Great cook @MrHoss!  I love my sous vide.  I don't use it a lot, but I love being able to have the meat just hanging out and ready for whenever guests arrive or my brother-in-laws kids are put to bed.  You do lose a little bit of that grill flavor, but I've found that the vortex screaming around 1200 degrees remedies that, especially for beef!  Did some 2" new york strips last week while helping the B-I-L watch the little ones while the girls were out for the night.  It was so easy to get the grill going for the sear when he was putting the kids to sleep.  It's also great for burgers if you are having a gathering...you can have a bunch of burgers ready to go as people arrive and are hungry then just sear them off as needed.  I did one batch of burgers where I put cheese between two thinner patties and then vacuum sealed them.  The vacuum sealing really work well to fuse both patties together around the cheese in the middle.  It's also a great way to cheat if you are making a multi-course dinner.

I like that you got to showcase your knives. I always try to sneak my shuns in a pic here and there also. They're almost as pretty as that lobster!

Hoss you & I could have some serious fun drinking that Scotch and modding that SV so it does involve fire & danger, youll be able to heat a swimming pool with it by the time the first bottle is empty.

^^^I love it.^^^
