well as I said the kids got me one of these things..  I knew it was coming and I was ok with it..  I might not have purchased it but as gift, oh well!! :rotflmao: :rotflmao:  so anyway yesterday morning about 11 am or so I placed a 3 1/2 pound seasoned chuck roast in a freezer bag, actually had it in the bag the night before seasoning the meat.  so after 24 hours I pulled it and let rest 15 minutes or more.. but then I took the drippings and made gravy for the first time from scratch..  then sliced the roast.. and did it taste good!!  had it cooked to perfect medium or so..  142 to 144 degrees..  next is going to be chicken breasts...  I'm not telling any one to go get one of these but I know can see where it has a place in the kitchen!!!   :happy1:

Mike, did you end up browning the roast in a fry pan or dutch oven after the boiling?

A good part of the flavor comes from the browned bits on the outside.

After 24 hours, did all the fat and gristle melt away out of the meat?

Normally I end up shredding or chunking a cooked chuck roast, but slicing worked good for you, eh?

I'd love to see some pics.

one thing about this sous vide thing is now I look at it as another utensil in my cooking.  between the 2 smokers, 2 grill,  the kitchen stove, the air fryer and deep frying I have some good things to work with for cooking..  :happy1: :happy1:

been using it more and more, but have not done fresh fish in it, haven't figured that out... they say it works, not sure...  One thing most folks don't understand maybe is they don't cook as fast as deep frying..  but I do eggs rolls and all kinds of other things..  baked taters come out great..  the air fryer I have I can also bake broil toast air fry and has a rotisserie..  but it's not that big so a medium chicken would be the biggest for that...

 :scratch: Isn't an air fryer basically a small convected oven? :confused:

I would say yes, for me I don't need to use the gas over for the small amounts I need, so the air fryer fills that need for me..  and my over does have convection and air fry on it..

Both our stoves have convected ovens on 'em but no air fryer. For usually just 2 of us the convected oven doesn't get used that much either.

I need to use our sous vide more.  It is so easy to do too.  Our air fryer does a good job on frozen breaded shrimp and french fry type of things.  The wife likes to use it.

Just got an air fryer for Christmas from Mrs. Cheviot, coming highly recommended by Auntie Mar Mar. Now we're done playing around in mold, raccoon & bat crap, can't wait to try the air fryer on taters & onions. I've heard frozen breaded onion rings are the bomb too. :happy1:
