Is that one of the fermentation crock pots that has a weighing stone in etc?

Yep

I brown and then toss in seasoned flour afterwards. A roux approach for thickening works well too. Or brown, get all the veg going. Add flour and fry with veg when its finished softening before you add the liquid (assuming some kind of stew).

Trying @dancing james suggestion of reverse searing two 400g bone in rib eyes tonight.

Fuck yes. So tender, perfectly cooked. Never going back.

As in oven roasting and then searing when done?

Yup. Oven at 135 degrees until internal temp of steak is 125 degrees (about 35 mins for my cuts tonight). Rest under foil for 10 mins then sear on super hot pan for 1 min on each side.

When Heston first got on TV in 2004/5 he did the reverse sear on a rib of beef and the same with a roast chicken and you get stupid juicy meat as the oven never got hot enough to evaporate the meat juices.
He was doing everything at 90-100 c so it took fucking ages

We tend to reverse sear with oven or smoker at 105 in our household.

Didn’t loads of people end up getting food poisoning from doing the chickens like that

Strong work. If you dry or wet brine the meat it gets even better.

Vacuum sealers

Am about to get a couple of new ovens, one is a Neff Fullsteam which can even act as a sous vide chamber. What vacuum sealer should I be considering - it would also be useful for preparing food for the freezer etc.

@dancing james
Are you willing to consider 2nd hand?

That looks amazing. Are you not having any carb with the meal? Crying out for a dauphinoise...

Rep

Possibly

Why?

Thanks mate. Makes perfect sense. Will do that next time I'm cooking a massive hunk of beef.

I haven't had more than 20g of net carbs a day for three months. Not going back...

Keto?

A lazy keto - not measuring macros or pushing for high fat but just cutting carbs right back.

are ryvitas high in crabs?

i like ryvitas.

don't @ me.

^ 6.7g per ryvita.

What about pringles? Is a pack a sitting too much?

Or not enough... amirite??
