Unnecessary unitasker. It's basically a steak boiling machine, yes people say the use it for other shit but we all know it's just for steak

My mom has one of those but she keeps it in her undies drawer.

Could you reasonably sous vide in a slow cooker?

[Anonymous No.11319238]

>>11319232
Yes, just add a thermostat to it. There are plenty of kits for this, and DIY info online. You can also use a rice cooker, or a pot on a hotplate.

you can even do it with a pot on the stove and a thermometer. No need to buy an overpriced meme appliance for it.

+i hear you can use it to temper chocolate perfectly

[Anonymous No.11319258]

It's a luxury. It cooks things as perfectly as possible, you sear it, you get restaurant-quality food. You can leave the food in there for a while as well if you aren't hungry once it's done, you can throw food in there before work, then come home to a fully-cooked entree.

it’s more flavorful of the marinade and more tender. worth it imo if you don’t know how to cook a steak.

its lazy and easy. if you dont know how to do other things because you've literally never bothered to learn, you can buy it and be "fancy" and "talented" with little to no work.
can you do literally everything at all it does with a little knowledge and other equipment you most likely already have? yeah

>we all know
I don't think you know anything at all, cooklet.

>>11319096
I have one and I use it frequently enough to merit its purchase. Steaks are good, but it actually makes really great and easy fish, eggs, custard, etc. You can't fuck it up, you can turn it on and forget about it, low-effort, consistent results. It's about as fun as owning a food processor, double boiler, or any other kitchen tool or appliance. Get one if you like to experiment in the kitchen.

I've never done chocolate in it but I do hear that it works well. Also, hi Borneo. Long time no see.

sous vide is the vaping of cooking.

>started with specific enthusiast oriented applications
>normies blow it the fuck up and start doing it in inappropriate places

This is actually pretty accurate. It’s a useful tool but it’s not for everything.

This is why I like mine. I don't like spending a bunch of time prepping food when I get home from work so the relative simplicity and hands off nature of sous vide is appealing to me.
I don't know nor do I care how it stacks up to traditional methods, but it seems to produce great results and allows me to eat cheaply and easily instead of ordering out all the time.

Bs, download the joule app and scroll through it. The visual done ness feature is absolutely the best. Team chef steps shows you a small gif of what each recipe looks like at each specific temp and time. I’m trying pumpkin pie in a jar Sous vide tonight. Maybe a pic tomorrow

>cooking all your food in plastic
Yum!

[Anonymous No.11323689]

If I buy a really thick steak I will usually use mine to cook it because it always comes out perfect. If I spend like 20 or 30 bucks on one goddamn steak I don't want to screw it up. I also used it before for cooking a beef brisket and it came out perfect.
