Yes. Most sous vide recipes will give you a range of times. In this case, your steak will be done after two hours, but you can leave it at the same temp for an additional two hours without a negative impact on texture. Anything beyond that and it could get mushy.

I wanted to sous vide a whole duck for xmas, but the ideal temps for breast and leg meat are so different I didn’t think I could make it work.

I made soups vide duck for Xmas dinner this year. Cooked the breasts to medium then seared in a skillet. Very good, but it didn’t touch the scrumptious legs that I left in the circulator for 8 hours, lounging in spiced duck fat. Such an easy way to make duck confit.

I’ve watched these competitions on tv. These dogs are amazing!

My chocolate lab started going grey about the muzzle when she was only two. Which was, probably not coincidentally, the same time my son was born. She was super patient and loving with him, and he absolutely adored her, but I’m sure it was a big change for her no longer being the only baby in the house.

Agreed. I live in Ky and have a sort of sick curiosity about this place, but I can’t bare the thought of giving that jackass my money. Maybe they’ll have an ‘Atheists Get in Free’ day sometime.

I had one of those a few weeks ago at a Drury. I was super-excited till I realized tha at without the stick of butter and pint of fake maple syrup I poured on it, the waffle actually had the flavor and texture of packing peanuts.

Dang, I need some of this. Mulled wine is a wonderful elixir that will bring good cheer to the grumpiest Scrooge faster than a cup of the booziest eggnog.

Beautiful people have beautiful children. Shocking.

Agreed. My local Kroger used to carry an decent variety of De Cecco shapes, but the store brand pasta is starting to hog all of the shelf space. I’m lucky if they have ziti and fettuccine. Bastards.

How horrible. I had the opportunity to go to Turkey a few years ago (and see Besiktas play) and I’m glad I took it. I would be really nervous about going there now.

It looks like she salvaged the skirt from my circa-1987 prom dress. I’m sure it’s a very expensive scarf, but somehow the fabric looks cheap.

Madame would never wear anything that fugly.

So it smells like a European Wax Center? Sweet. I swear the smell of their wax makes the pain a little more bareable.

Yep.

This could be really great or really awful. So conflicted...

They just came out of the water and have gone into chill mode. I didn’t have any small jelly jar sized mason jars, and couldn’t find any at the grocery. (Guess they only have them during canning season.) so I wound up using larger ones and just not filling them as full. That worked okay, but because there was quite a…

Sounds more like the idealized “cool girl” from Gone Girl.

Rice can be such a pain in the ass. I finally broke down and bought a rice cooker so I could actually get it right. And I’m currently making your soups vide cheesecake in a jar for tonight’s dessert. Can’t wait!

This weekend I made the Bon Appetit recipe for pork tenderloin with green curry. Instead of roasting it, I put it in the souls vide bath with the marinade and left it at 145 for a little over an hour, then I seared it in a very hot pan. It was definitely a keeper.
