MacKenzie Posted December 25, 2015 Report Share Posted December 25, 2015 Soft boiled eggs - start with room temp eggs add to 167 F bath, set timer for 15 mins. When time is up remove eggs and run under cold water to stop the cooking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tony b Posted December 25, 2015 Report Share Posted December 25, 2015 Hurrah, Cookie! Someone was a good boy this year!! MacKenzie's suggestion for poached eggs is a good one. See my post from last night with the shrimp cocktail (127F bath for 20 minutes). Wait til you do your first steak. You won't look back!!! But, whatever it is, let us know how it came out! Here's a nice book with the basics, that I highly recommend. http://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/0991050177?keywords=sous%20vide%20cookbook&qid=1451072130&ref_=sr_1_1&s=books&sr=1-1 Here's a nice chart of time/temperature for a lot of different cooks.

GoFrogs91 Posted December 25, 2015 Report Share Posted December 25, 2015 Hey Cookie. I got one too. Wish the grocery store was open so I could get some test subjects! Benton Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tony b Posted December 26, 2015 Report Share Posted December 26, 2015 I'm going to try the Fried Chicken for dinner tonight. May give MacKenzie's creamless spuds another go, too?? Fun never stops, ya'll!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cookie Posted December 27, 2015 Author Report Share Posted December 27, 2015 Sensory overload! I don't know where to start... I've got the ANOVA sitting here on the desk staring me in the face with some great ideas from you folks. Last night, I finished opening gifts and received these books which have had me salivating all day. I also receive the Ninja Ultima blender that is calling out for some soup. A kid in the candy shop. P.S. Especially impressed with the two books by Mallmann, think I'm doing something from these tonight...primal old school grilling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MacKenzie Posted December 27, 2015 Report Share Posted December 27, 2015 Such a stack, let's hope he picks a recipe to try soon so we all can enjoy the fruits of his labours. I'm afraid he won't be able to pick one and get started. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cookie Posted December 27, 2015 Author Report Share Posted December 27, 2015 So I promised my 4 year old we'd use the tent Santa brought to camp on the roof tonight. I ended up not being able to make it to the grocery. That said, I did improvise a zucchini recipe from one of the new books: Steak: USDA prime sirloin; rubbed with kosher salt and fresh cracked pepper; cooked direct on the searing grate at 600 some temp; 2 mins each side. Spuds: Coated with olive oil and kosher salt; baked in KK at 400F for 35 mins. Zucchini: Cooked directly in hot embers on old school 18" weber kettle. Was really surprised there was no char taste at all. Had some fresh rosemary growing on the roof, so chopped some and mixed with olive oil and a little fresh lemon. Drizzled that over the zucchini and steak. Dessert: Roasted marshmallows 23" Kamado, had a lot of buildup so did a high temp 'clean' since I was hanging out on the roof.

MacKenzie Posted December 27, 2015 Report Share Posted December 27, 2015 What a fantastic idea, tenting on the roof and toasting marshmallows to top it all off. What a great father son pixs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ckreef Posted December 27, 2015 Report Share Posted December 27, 2015 Enjoy those moments while you can. Blink your eyes and they've turned into a teenager and are no longer interested in those kinds of outings.

tony b Posted December 27, 2015 Report Share Posted December 27, 2015 Wonderful pictures! Your son looks like he's having the time of his life! Never done any "caveman" style cooking myself. Would have never thought about tossing a zucchini onto the coals?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would have never thought about tossing a zucchini onto the coals?? It was really good! Only guidance on timing in the book was cook each side until about 50/50 green/char. It came out perfectly cooked and I was expecting this big ashy char taste on the skin and it just wasn't there at all... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
