One con I feel you missed is the temperature of the steak when it’s ready to eat. It cools so quickly. I’ve had to make sure to warm the plates I serve the meat on. I also have to tell people to shut up and eat before the steak gets cold lol

[tombstone]

For me the biggest benefit is the stress free cooking. You can be sure your meat is at the perfect temp, and it doesn't matter if the side dish takes 10 minutes longer. That can be kept warm while you concentrate on the searing, and everything is ready at the same time. Helped me a lot on family dinners!

[Craider]

I taught my 9 year old to cook with sous vide - and he made - by himself (I helped him a tiny bit with the oven part) - a pork roast for his moms birthday, whom was basically in shock over how well he did it! It's so damn easy and I taught him to just ask our google about how long and how hot the water needs to be. The roast was perfect! Never seen him prouder! 😀

[gardenhose]

We find it so convenient for big groups. For example, we took a youth group kayaking and had tri tip right after. We set up the sous vide in a Yeti cooler before we left. We got it up to temp for about an hour, removed most of the water and threw in a towel to keep it from sloshing, closed the cooler, put it in the back of the car, drove to the activity and let it sit there for over an hour while we were out kayaking. We returned to the cars, busted out the blow torch and a cutting board and had amazing tri tip right there in the parking lot! Incredible! So easy and so delicious. I've done 10 tri tips at once in my cooler!

I bought my sous vide wand about a year ago after watching your amazing experiments. Now everyone in my family asks me to cook the steaks - guess that's a con?? My new favorite thing to make in it is L. Reuteri cultured dairy (similar to yogurt). It has to be cultured for 36 hrs at 100' and the sous vide makes it perfect every time, just set it & forget it. Thanks again for your channel!

[gralphirichmond]

What I use my Sous Vide the most for is a large dinner party (Thanksgiving, Easter, etc), my sides are done the day before and I just use the circulator to warm them up and allow more focus on the main items. Second most useful is for Soups / Chili. You can Sous Vide 3x 1 quart bags for a Packer party and it'll fill a small Crock Pot and another bag in the bath keeping warm for replenishment - whatever is left over goes nicely in the Freezer for next time. (I usually do my soups and chili in 8 quart batches)

if sous vide is "cheating", so is a slow cooker, a pressure cooker, an instant pot, or even just a long braise that you can ignore for a good 4+ hours

[reeseebersole]

My favorite thing about sous vide is that is started your journey as a educational YouTube chef. And that has not only provided me with entertainment and cooking education, but it inspired me to develop my love of culinary arts! I’ve been watching since the good old days of you cooking for your coworkers in the break room! Thanks Guga!

[rinnsbebelindegrombe]

First of all.... I got into SV because of you Guga. Thank you!

I bought my SV-Machine 3 years ago and i do not want to miss it anymore.
It is great, convienient, tastes amazing and still fun. I ve been working as a chef in restaurants from age 16 to 34 (then quit).
I love how you break the rules and explore new things.

Thank you for being crazy Guga!

[NSUCK]

I chill my steaks before I sear them over a charcoal chimney, gives perfect edge to edge pink with a nice crust every time.

[XGJP]

Definitely not cheating. That’s like saying using a microwave is cheating, or a rice cooker is cheating. It’s just a different method, and like every method, it has its place.

[testbenchdude]

I got into sous vide with the original Joule, which is still in service in my kitchen. Probably about 95% of the time, it is done with the expectation of "finishing" the protein either on the grill or in the pan. We love to make a huge batch of sous vide chicken breasts on Sunday to last the week in various other preparations.

I have been grilling/smoking/cooking in general for many years, and like you said, sous vide is a tool. 100% like you said, knowing when to use it is key. My favorite thing to do is buy whatever cuts of meat (steaks, chicken, chops etc) and immediately vacuum bag them into meal portions when I get home from the store. Chuck them in the freezer, and you have ready-to-go sous vide whenever you need it. No need to thaw at all, plus, they suffer far, far less from freezer burn.

+It's probably the best way for Geeks/Engineers to safely learn to cook, and experiment from a solid base (w/o ruining so many steaks).
After well over 2, 000 steaks, I save this for rougher cuts of meat. Chuck Roasts, and Sirloins.

[KurtAndersson]

I use Sous Vide mostly for fish and chicken. Just an hour ago I just finished 450 grams of chicken thighs for my cats.
I can tell you that they love chicken thigh (or chest) Sous Vide.
I have also used it for potatoes (and other vegtables) and eggs.

[TheOriginalArchie]

I bought a sous vide machine about three months ago now and it's become a daily use. I work from home so I marinate my meats overnight and at lunch break the next day, I start cooking the meat and all I have to do is brown it in a pan when I'm done with work. I started with steaks but now I do pork and chicken too. I even soft boil eggs and potatoes while the meat is going, I've gotten very creative with it in just a couple of months. I've even made a chart for what temps each type of cut (and type of meat) should be cooked at.

[imnotdavidxnsx]

Your cookbook should be offered as a digital version that has links to your YouTube videos where you describe each recipe.

[persnikitty]

I use sous vide water circulateds for my hard cheeses: warming the milk up, culture addition temps, raising and lower temp for acidity control, and keeping the drained curds warm during the mellowing stage, when added salt is absorbed (if not directly brining in a salt bath). They are amazingly great for keeping temps at a constant for hours on end: it was your channel which showed me this facet, and are much more reliable and hands-free than a double boiler, which you need to babysit. Thank you for your good work, and enjoy a smash burger (watched and those were so decadent and juicy).

[bloodelfreku]

Sous Vide is not cheating IMO. You are utilizing a cooking method that was developed for consistency and long term cooking. Yes, you get an exact temperature and you can break it down into something you can recreate, but that is the beauty of Sous Vide. Not just that, but cooking is about more than heating something up or cooling something down, it is also about the combination of ingredients and techniques to create the food you love. When I cook a lot of steaks Sous Vide, I grab a large roasting pot (which was passed down through my family to me all the way from my great grandmother) and put olive oil in and get a nice crust. The inside is completely pasturized just like my father likes it, it is tender as all get out, it has a nice crust, and it is a perfect medium rare.

Also, the Sous Vide allows for the meats to cook while I work on other things such as sides, sauces, etc. It's nice to be able to multitask easier. I like to make chimichurri sometimes or other wine sauces. If I just want something easy then a compound butter is a go to.

[SquirtlePWN]

I bought a sous vide and propane torch to cook steaks in my small apartment. All thanks to your inspiration Guga! I fell in love and still use it to avoid all the smoke in my house.

[theDaveStanzito]

Guga is a man of the people. You've stepped my cooking game up to the point where my wife and kids actually think I have talent! Can't wait to preorder that cookbook. Congrats and happy holidays!
