Today is our sous vide steak test – a $200 machine vs. my sous vide ‘hack’ that uses a $10 cooler. Is one better than the other? Let’s find out! SHOP: ⭕️ STCG …
I love the hack,I’m going to cook me some steaks, thanks!
Steaks are raw 😳
There is a difference in cheap vs expensive but a good cook can make a cheap cut taste delicious
Don't sweat the colonoscopy it's nothing!! it's the results you have worry about ! I'm 66 and have 5 they always find paulupes ,nothing cancerous yet , my father died of colon cancer at '72 . and I make your Mc rib tonight on the barbecue , wife thought I was nuts that they needed 2 hours at 350 but when took the foil off I pulled the ribs out perfect ! I knew we had a winning meal ! never put them on a bun , just eat them with rice!!!
How come the technical who works the camera at your colonoscopy (and photographs your saggy, wrinkled, old-guy ass… inside and outside) is always some perky, cute 22 year old girl? BTW, the phrase "in like Flynn" predates Errol Flynn, and there's evidence of it's early 1930's usage in Australia.
Cooler method is great to dip your toes in the SV waters, but if you want to continue to use Sous Vide… Especially longer cooks, you can get a decent unit for under $50.
Lots of inexpensive options this time of year (Black Friday/Holidays)
keep the sous vide videos coming. yes there’s several other channels but doesn’t hurt to have more
Just cook the steaks on the freakin grill! That way you get to enjoy a nice adult beverage of your choice, while admiring your culinary handiwork! Sheesh… some peoples children!
I can never find soy paste or dark soy.
I bet Sam wishes Chance was his son instead of the other kid.
The benefit of the cooler method is it gives you an opportunity to try out sous vide, but if you're going to be doing sous vide a few times a month or even once a month, the cost effective machines are a great trade off. That being said the Joule he uses is constantly rated as the best consumer circulator and that one does run $150+.
As I watch this video, Sam has already been violated from behind.
Money or effort simple
Amazing
At 2:41, I yelled at Sam, through my screen, with tears 😭, Samily, (Maximus), (Chancey), as he was putting his little raw piece of meat in the sous-vide baggie, "AT LEAST WITH MARINADE, SAM!" Y'all, I just learned the words and the techniques "sous-vide" in French culinary school no more than THREE months ago. I just want to rock Sam in my bosom. 🤱🏻🤱🏻🤱🏻🤱🏻🤱🏻🤱🏻🤱🏻🤱🏻🤱🏻🤱🏻🤱🏻🤱🏻🤱🏻🤱🏻🤱🏻
Compromise method: "Dumb" (non-digital) slow cooker (5-15 bucks at a yard sale/thrift store if you don't already have it) and an ITC-308 temp controller from Inkbird (35 bucks on Amazon). Still pretty damn affordable and with all the "set and forget" convenience of the ridiculously overpriced and over-complicated pump thingies. I have some short ribs going in just that set up at this very moment (higher temp, obviously). That's been my go-to setup for several years.
Love your channel, guys, Keep 'em coming!
Always salt at the end, salt takes the jus out of the meat.
SAM. Reminder about the Seattle Dog as a regional dish. I'm telling you, dude. It's game changer!
10:08 what in the stranger things synth music is going on here.
If you leave it under 130 over 2 hours, starts to go into the danger zone
How long did you have to leave the steak in the cooler for?
Don't just use any bag people. Make sure you check the box to see what temperatures the bag can handle. Generally, if you are using a zip lock bag you want to use the freezer bags because they are more hearty and can handle higher temperatures. Your every day zip lock bags are not really designed to be subject to constant heat, you could be exposing your food to the chemicals that makeup the bag.
Idea for a new #STCG tea shirt: A knob & sploosh 😂😂😂😂 Love you guys and what you do. Keep it coming and can't wait for the next munchies episode
Hope everything comes out alright wit your Poke-man test. Well actually I'm sure everything came out fine before the test!!
I'll see my self out now! 🙂
Hope your bum check was exciting and positive! Absolutely love your videos, you and your boys have really got me through some tough days. Keep ‘em coming!
You can definitely do the cooler method, heck you can do the dishwasher method too. I own a few sous vide machines and they’re great tools to own. From cooking steaks, roasts, pulled pork and ribs, they are a cheat code to cooking honestly and well worth the money, at least for me.
I was waiting for Sam to drop his phone into the water.
Make sure you let us know how the colonoscopy went! Maybe a calamari recipe in honor of your procedure!
Enjoy your colonescopy !
Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaw !
