We still haven't unboxed our sous vide from the wedding, coming up on two years now. Where do you even start with using this thing?

Robust meats: thick cut steaks, lamb, etc. also great for scallops and white fish. Also try asparagus...

Find some good sous vide recipes online, they’re typically really simple, like “steak, butter, garlic, thyme, salt, pepper.” Slow cook according to the directions, then sear in a pan for some maillard and texture

Well you can do basically anything in there. I've had melons and other fruits, chicken, squash, lots more.
But there's diminishing returns with a lot of this stuff. I find the best application is for things that either A) require a low, slow cook to make tender, or B) lose a lot of flavor when cooked in water (like the asparagus)

Outside of a few specific items, this is my general take on sous vide as well.

guys, sous vide is about as hands off as you get. it’s a pot of water and a freaking plastic bag for God’s sake. I bought one two months ago and it’s a game changer. you literally cannot overcook anything. the one I have is all controlled through my phone. outside of searing meat, the cleanup consists of dumping the water and throwing away the plastic bag. I’ve cooked pork butt, steak, turkey breasts, fish and chicken for tacos, pork loin, and a prime rib.

I’ve used them a lot. “Hands off” is a perfect way to describe it...And therein lies the problem for me, to a certain extent.

just wait until you both have 15 balls in the air and a screaming kid in the background. that hands off will come in handy.

You have the same stove we have.

Let me know when you use your griddle and how many times you season it.

i don't plan on using the griddle to be honest..i guess you don't season yours with peanut oil like they suggest, eh?

I’ve owned mine for 4 years. I’ve never used the griddle.

You never answered my question about whether yours is dual range.
