ckreef, another meal that I would thoroughly enjoy except it's not mine it's yours    

ckreef, that is a mouthwatering pizza, awesome, I certainly could enjoy a few slices  

dstr8, thanks   I hope you are enjoying your travels  and that soon we will be seeing what you are grilling

For me I'd say pretty much but then you get a new and just as wonderful flavor. Between the grill and SV I would never put anything in the fry pan to cook again. Even in the middle of the winter there is no way I'm going to the fry pan.

Ask any question you'd like, that's how one finds out things:) The texture will be basically the same but you won't have the smoke flavor, not from the Sous Vide process but when you sear it on the grill after being cooked via SV it really is to get the colour that one expects to have for the steak or whatever. There are basically 2 ways to kill the nasties in the meat one is high temp and fast the other is low temp and a long cooking time. SV will tenderize cuts of meat that you might not want to grill and make them very tender and tasty. Another big advantage for me is that you can put the meat onto cook knowing that it will be ready in 3 hours but something comes up and you don't have the rest of the meal ready and need an other hour or so before you can get things ready- no problem with SV just let it go for the extra time and things will be just fine. I was never a fan of meat cooked and still red in the centre but with SV you have the confidence that while the steak looks medium rare and has that texture it is safe to eat. I have only just barely touched on the topic there is just soooooooooooo much to it. I've been doing it a few years now and would not want to do without my SV controller. It's not just form meats, poultry or fish either. Get a properly SVed egg and it will be like no other egg you have eaten. Between the grill and the SV I never cook my meat, etc. any other way. There is a lot to learn because you need to do things in a safe manor. There are tables for determining the length of time to SV and the temp. so that things are cooked safely. The time depends upon the temp. of the water bath and the thickness of the meat, type of meat being SVed/ I have just given you the tip of the iceberg. Let's see what others add:)

ckreef, money shot or not that dinner looks awesome    

There's  my grill    

Finished up the SV chicken breasts with a nice sandwich, onions, sliced jalpeno pepper, salted chives, pepper, mayo, sriracha sauce all on a homemade hot dog bun:)

Cook_Shack, I'd love to try that and I just wish it would keep for more than 2 weeks  

ckreef, wow, that seemed to be a roaring success      

I'll bet you missed the KK now that you are spoiled

  it is looking like the end of June for me   but tinyfish I can enjoy yours until then  

CC, I know how great that steak tasted and so would ckreef, if he'd just break down and but another gadget. ckreef, this would be a purchase that you will wish you'd made sooner    

Tony, that tri-tip sure looked moist    

cpwebb, those are some awesome cooks that you've had  

CC, we will be watching for the big spin    

My internet has been down since Thurs and I thought of all the rotten luck, I'm going to miss the big burn       Looks like a work in progress and success just around the corner

ckreef, what a lovely dinner, if only it were mine      

ckreef, a few slices of that ham and a large helping of those potatoes would be a welcome sight on my table right now      

After seeing your post I'd like to be having pizza

This sure is a fun watch, ckreef, thanks   

ckreef, one day at a time, you need time to appreciate and enjoy each new toy.        If you ever decide to try Sous Vide just remember the gold in the juices. I am not exaggerating, they make a delicious soup base.

A toast to spring and a long hot summer with plenty of KK time.

Right back at you, biffer 

Yes, I've been chatting with Dennis and hoping my KK will ship soon. Once it gets shipped I will reveal all At least the snow is pretty well gone. We had a record breaking winter for snow fall.

I am about a 2 hour drive from Halifax and my KK has not shipped.
