  1. At what point would it get mushy from too long being in the Sous Vide ?  

    It would not be a matter of minutes but rather hours, not sure how many though.

    I nearly always do my boneless skinless chicken breasts via sous vide, do a light brine and add some seasoning. They are very tasty.

     

  2. It sounds similar to what I did last year. We had planted rows of pine and spruce when we first bought the property but they grew and grew and grew. Cleaned out to let the sun in and keep them from falling on the house or garage. I was amazing to watch them work their magic.

    Two long cycles with pasta dough in a cereal bowl hydrated the dough better than waiting, and the monster movie expansion and contraction is fun to watch.

    I've been waiting to try vacuuming sealing my pasta dough and finally did it the day before yesterday for some Lasagna, I loved it. I did let it rest in the fridge for a few hours to suit my schedule. Yesterday I did it again for some spaghetti but it was in the fridge for an hour or so before I rolled it out and cut it into spaghetti. I will doing this every time I make pasta from now on, the dough was so smooth and easy to work with. It was also smooth in the final product. THANKS, Syzygies. :cheers:

  4. I have been busy curing and smoking 20 pounds of bacon. I split the final product with friends, They give me and gave me lots of help including the slicing and packaging of the bacon.

    Had chicken thighs this week along with fresh potatoes and beans from the garden. Everything is so late this year, weeks behind.

  5. I came over from the Primo cooker, which I thought was the cat's meow until I started cooking on the KK. Everything was improved and easier, noticeable improvement in the taste and moisture of the food. Bought a second KK I was so impressed with the product and there is no better customer service than the KK service. No cracked firebox to deal with and everything is heavy duty and will probably out last me. I know they seem pricey but they are well worth the price. They are properly designed, properly built and backed by the BEST customer service available. 

    I hope you decide on the KK so you can experience the pure joy of cooking on these cookers.

  6. Testing a new to me Donair meat recipe. It is still cooling but it does look good, time will tell.

    Did a taste test and it is good, we will see how it goes when I make a donair with all the veggies, cheese and sauce. It is not going to go to waste that is for sure.
