I agree!! I am extremely new to SV and don't want to get anyone sick when I cook with it. I really do not understand how one chooses a temp and time to cook a cut of meat, but now after reading the two above posts, the readings are only recommended times. I hope to find a system that works for me and really hope the book I ordered helped.
I just picked my modernist cooking made easy by Jason Logsdon from the mailbox and will begin reading it. I have never really been one to follow cook book recipes, however, I am hoping that I learn techniques and the cooking table index to better understand SV
