New cooking methods ... sous vide

So I took the plunge (pun not intended) and purchased a personal sous vide machine.

I've made a wonderful roasted garlic and herb compound butter and I'm about to put a couple of thick cut KC strips in the bath, set it for 134 degrees and in a couple hours I should have perfectly medium rare steak to throw in a screaming hot skillet to sear. Then it's eatin' time.

Will post pics.

Anyone worked with sous vide before? Any tips, tasty things to try?

I posted this in the food thread, maybe it will get more play here. This is like the fancy food thread.

If you know anything about balsamic vinegar, you know the really good stuff can be ridiculously expensive. This from America's Test Kitchen.

Instant-Aged Balsamic Vinegar



True aged balsamico can be as high as $60 an ounce! We wondered if we could hack our way to a reasonable substitute with a decent supermarket brand.

We tried reducing supermarket balsamic with sugar and flavorings ranging from black currant juice to coffee. In the end, we found that a straight reduction of ⅓ cup of vinegar and 1 tablespoon of sugar worked well enough, but the addition of 1 tablespoon of port added the complexity we were after. Vigorous boiling destroyed nuances in the vinegar's flavor; the best results came from reducing this mixture for 30 to 40 minutes over extremely low heat (barely simmering) to about half of its original volume. (recommended supermarket brand Lucini Gran Riserva — $14 for 8.5 ounces).

1/3 cup balsamic vinegar

1 Tablespoon port

1 Tablespoon sugar

Reduce balsamic vinegar with port and sugar very slowly over low heat until it measures half its original volume.

Should have used a larger plate. That demi is legit, though.

Thanks, but it wasn't a traditional demi. I used this simple version by Le Cordon Bleu. Took about an hour, but was mostly just simmering. And it's very nice.

Just dropped a 2.5 lb chuck roast into the bath; I think I'm gonna give it about 44 hours and have it for dinner on Sunday. If any thoughts, speak now...

What temp? That looks a little warmer than I was expecting? Looks very good though.

I need to get new plates, but I won't win that argument. Mine are oversized from pottery barn and 11 years old. They'd still be fine but the colors are merlot and navy. They look great on the shelf, but dominate the colors on the plate.

130, so low end of med rare. Seared for 45 seconds on each side. I took the pic outside, so maybe that washed it out a little.
