NY Strip

olesniper

Got a nice, thick New York strip. Put it the sous vide for 10 hours.........yes....TEN HOURS, at 138°. It was almost done, when I got a call from a friend. After a while, I checked the timer and it had 7 minutes left, so I reset the timer and kept talking. 1 1/2 hours later, i hung up. I fixed some taters and some chicken noodles, then I got my skillet hot, and seared the dickens out of the steak. Tender does not start to describe it. The fat melts in your mouth, like butter.

Target has the Anova brand, on sale, for $90.

Better brand name. The $90 unit has a 800 watt heater and connects to your phone, VIA bluetooth. The $150+ unit  has a 900 watt heater and uses WI-FI. You can set the timer without your phone but I think it's a PITA.
The Power Precision Cooker that I have, you twist the ring, on the top of the unit, to set the time and temp. 800 watts. I use a 8qt. container, https://www.amazon.com/Rubbermaid%C2%AE-Polycarbonate-Containers-break-resistant-guidelines/dp/B0023AUI0M/ref=sr_1_18?ie=UTF8&qid=1534564025&sr=8-18&keywords=8+qt+rubbermaid+container , fine for me but for more than one, I'd get something bigger. You can use cook pots or coolers, if your clamp will fit over the side or you fix a way to clamp it, safely, inside. The more water, the longer it takes to get it up to temp. With mine, I put 6qts of hot tap water in the container,130°, and it will bring up the temp at about 1° a minute. The timer doesn't start until it reaches the target temp. Same company that makes the Power Pressure Cookers, at WalMart.

I love carnitas, and I'm total spoiled living where I can get the real deal whenever I want.

1100 watts, $70 prime

I know nothing about the brand, or anything else about it. Just thought I'd throw this out there

They had one "used" (usually means open box) for $59, then someone came along and bought it.

Here's a vid on the Chefman. It is kinda noisy. Watched a vid several months ago, where they were comparing different cookers. Big complaint on most of them were noise. Mine wasn't included in the comparison, so I had to wait and see how loud it was. PFFFTTT......damn near need a stethoscope to hear it. I have no personal knowledge of the Chefman but it appears to be a lot louder than mine and moves the water faster. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OXOnctB5TZo

One of my least favorite cuts, but that looks delicious. 

Strange...NY strips are the best, most affordable cut of meat ( steak wise) that my butcher sells...
