Sous vide split chicken breasts at 150 F (first time). Chicken was terrific - moist and tender. I should have had the CI pan a little hotter to give a better sear - next time. Sides were roasted cauliflower and pasta salad.
Crawfish shrimp and cheesy grits. Sharp cheddar in the grits. Red, yellow and green bell peppers, onions, garlic, homemade andouille, bacon, butter and seafood stock, and crawfish obviously.
I love salads with fruit in them, Kayelle. Himself, not so much - but he eats them in lieu of starving (as if ) or having to make it himself. If you have leftover rotisserie chicken, it's really good in a salad like that.
It certainly was! I used the water displacement method to purge the air from the Ziploc freezer bags, which doesn't get all of the air out with irregular shaped items like bone-in chicken breasts. I'll have to put together a couple more clip on weights to keep the bags submerged. I'll also be getting a smaller transparent container, as the Nano takes a while to bring 12 quarts of water up to 150 F, even starting with hot tap water. I like the transparent container, as it's easier to make sure that the bags are completely submerged.Isn't that the best chicken!?
