Went to vegas for a week and wow this thread blew up haha erehweslefox, on the buyers guide I wrote I give some tips on how you can save some money on bags. I show methods of using ziplock bags, even. I'm in the process of developing a tool to use that will allow you to seal flat bags easily...

GG, you are one of my favorite posters. Elegantly said, and fair enough for certain. It is likely that you have had it, but it's just not to your taste to have such a device for yourself at home. I see nothing wrong with that. For my friends who are skeptical of the method, I offer to cook for...

Now THAT is a benefit I hadn't thought of. What a great use for a sealer lol Soggy TP is misery indeed. I kinda agree with Dragnlaw on this one. I prefer not to buy premade stuff where possible (though I do break that rule admittedly here and there. Especially things like dairy.) I find it is...

Wait wait...Have you ever had anything prepared Sous Vide GotGarlic and RPCookin? I don't want to assume anything here.

Why thank you kind sir (I assume you are a sir, if not forgive me)

The Anova in particular will automatically start cooking your food if it detects that the temperature is getting too close to the danger zone. All you need to do is dump more than enough ice into the bath to keep it cool while you are away. I'll have to check out how long it takes to heat up.

Sorry you have belly issues, I can understand how that can be frustrating!

Hey you are welcome, that's what this community is about. For the love of food and each other! :) dragn> that made me laugh. You are hell bent on keeping that sucker (lolpuns) alive. Maybe it is time to let go :P FoodSaver is a good brand to use if you aren't going to be sealing very much. I...

Hmm, maybe. I just like the idea that I can set it up before I go to work and schedule the cook for any time. Then if maybe I am running late or coming home early I can just log in to the device with the app on my phone and start the cook or delay it if I have to. I also like the reminders...

Well I hope so! lol

Give it a try next time you are in a rush :)

Would you change your mind if you had a wifi enabled one?

Aw this thread was exciting at first but then fizzled out around the time he found out it would take years to dry lol.

I would also do this. Vacuum sealing is a really awesome way of preserving things without canning ;) To reheat it you can leave it out room temp, but if you are out of time then just put it in a warm or hot water bath.

So I just saw the thread about Vacuum Sealer bags by Roll_bones that reminded me of the buyer's guide that I read when I was trying to make a decision about what vacuum sealer to buy. I thought it was really helpful and very detailed so maybe some of you might find it useful as well. Here is...

Hey! I found a vacuum sealer bags and roll discount club. I joined a while ago and I now stock up every time I get a sale notification. I've gotten deals that were better priced than at webrestaraunt sells for normally. Here is a link to join.

This is the better method. Will take a bit more time, though. But will still yield tasty results.

The microwave trick is great! I will turn on the light in my oven and just put it in there. Makes it just warm enough!

All of this looks really good! If you brown your steak and season it first then vacuum seal you will be exposing the meat to the flavors (including the maillard) for much longer. The vacuum will help pull those flavors deep into the meat and it will be AWESOME. Really intensely flavorful. If...

Sounds like it should work!

Too much fiber eh? lol

I'll let you know how it goes. I have a warmer mat that I keep under a wardian case as well as a bunch of daylight bulbs above the case.

Me too! I cook them in the sauce then vacuum seal them in the sauce. They are super full of flavor when I do this. I reheat them in a water bath. Ready to go in no time. BRB Thawing meatballs!

Today I learned about ZPG!

Yeah, you could certainly use your iPhone. If you keep it relatively short you can upload it to youtube since they cap larger videos for newer users. Or you could try vimeo! It may be easier for someone else to hold the phone for you while you do your thing :)
