MacKenzie Posted July 19, 2016 Report Posted July 19, 2016 Here's an idea for someone with big breakfast plans. Sous vide the whole package of bacon @ 147F for overnight or a few hours. It will then be cooked and tender. All that needs to be done after than is fry it up to crisp and colour it. I just did a few strips in the SV to test this out and the bacon is very good, nice and tender, melts in your mouth. I really did like bacon done this way. Breakfast this morning to taste test the SV bacon. 2
Jon B. Posted July 19, 2016 Report Posted July 19, 2016 What a wonderful idea!!!! Aunt Nancy cooks bacon for 70 people at our annual Champagne Breakfast on the 4th of July. I'm sure she will love this idea for next year!!
MacKenzie Posted July 19, 2016 Author Report Posted July 19, 2016 Jon, I thought you might like that.
ckreef Posted July 19, 2016 Report Posted July 19, 2016 Great looking breakfast. Sent from my XT1585 using Tapatalk

CeramicChef Posted July 19, 2016 Report Posted July 19, 2016 @MacKenzie - that's a gorgeous money shot and a wonderful,idea! Kudos to you, my NS Friend!
dstr8 Posted July 19, 2016 Report Posted July 19, 2016 GR8 idea @MacKenzie! I will try this for the next bacon cook.
tony b Posted July 20, 2016 Report Posted July 20, 2016 Will definitely being doing this in the near future. @Jon B. - How do I swing an invite to next year's Champagne Breakfast? Sounds like a winner to me!

Tony, I'll have my sister swing by and pick you up next year!!!!! Our family has been hosting this breakfast annually for over 30 years. A few years ago Aunt Nancy hired a local kid to take a drone video of the breakfast as a surprise. It turned out really well. Check it out
Aussie Ora Posted July 20, 2016 Report Posted July 20, 2016 Looks fantastic I don't have a sous vide machine just cook normally do you think they are worth it Outback Kamado Bar and Grill♨
MacKenzie Posted July 20, 2016 Author Report Posted July 20, 2016 Aussie, sous vide control, in my opinion is a must in the kitchen. I would not be without one. In fact two would be nice, different temps for different baths. 1
tony b Posted July 20, 2016 Report Posted July 20, 2016 Well done, Jon! I might take you up on that offer, ha, ha! I'd even be willing to brew a couple of beers for it. @Aussie Ora - MacKenzie is right; it's almost a "must have" in the kitchen. It's amazing all the things you can do with it. I would compare it to having a pressure cooker, as far as usefulness in the kitchen.
dstr8 Posted July 21, 2016 Report Posted July 21, 2016 Another vote for the necessity of a sous vide device in your kitchen. Some weeks I use it even more than my KK! There just isn't another way to conveniently and accurately get the same results...
Jon B. Posted July 21, 2016 Report Posted July 21, 2016 Used my sous vide just last night..................flank steak at 133* for 2 hours and then onto a screaming hot CI skillet. So good and so easy!! If mine broke today, I would replace it the next day!!!!! 1
