Ziplock bag, Thermoworks Instant Read Thermometer aka Thermapen, slow cooker aka crock pot. High is usually 195F to 205F, monitor with thermapen and turn the unit off when close to target figure, back on when temp drops below target by 2 or 3 degrees. It is a pain, so I installed PID unit that works on gummy bears (see attached photo). Or your idea of 180 degree pot on a stove top or oven would be good. Oven's often allow up to 20F to 25F degrees variation before kicking in.

Good luck on your SV adventure. I would choose a Lotus to drive next time. The 2CV is like driving a tiny underpowered, under-steering truck. YMMV. :)

Darcie,

Just to "add lightness" to your suggestion about the Elite or Elan. I suspect both these beautiful cars are say, less reliable than the 2CV.

Frank,

It would be well worth the 60 minute drive from Decatur. The sv pork belly was sublime, the quails breast (6 full) was delicious.

Late to the party, but I'm going to try chicken breast using the cooler method tonight.

Hello my dear,

Long time no see...and so good to see you. :mrgreen:

SV chicken (IMO) can be hit or miss depending on how you finish. Beef and pork are my two faves using SV...and some seafood too.

Whatcha makin'?

Hello to you! :mrgreen: Miss you guys!

I'm bastardizing a CI recipe, maybe one of Keri's? You use low heat to cook the chicken and higher to finish. It's marinaded, and a portion of the is reserved for a finishing sauce, so I thought it might translate well.

Off topic alert!

H is 6' and sounds like Barry White, though he can't sing :lol:
A is almost 10!!!!! And she acts like she's fifteen!

You are aging all of us my dear...

The chicken does and doesn't translate that well. I find chicken breasts are the most subject to becoming too tender via SV. Smaller breasts do better. And airline chicken breasts have always worked exceedingly well for me. Just sear the heck out of them when they come out of their bath.

A can't be ten...not possible. ;)

Coincidence? Currently, SVing three pork loin steaks with rendered bacon fat and seasonings - 135F for 3 hours.
