| andy buck | immersion thermal circulator- acquired. |
| steve block | because this is the new way to cook. forget fire or normal heat. WATER BATH. YARRRRR. |
| andy buck | it wasn't that long ago that ovens didn't exist. sear, roast, braise, poach, boil. this is just a new tool that is able to do things never before possible. think braised short ribs- traditionally you have to cook them to well done to break down the collagen and make them succulent. with this technique you make them tender with time rather than temperature. it's also absolutely ideal for someone who tends to cook for others a lot, i can take 10 steak to absolutely perfect med-rare, sear them off when serving, and spend my time working on other elements. |
| andy buck | you also don't miss the fire, since you want take advantage of the maillard reaction post water bath to create all those amazing flavors we all love |
| brant | that is awesome. |
| sam wong | Steve, your reputation says you are not supposed to be a luddite |
| jonathan rahmani | mad science |
| steve block | this is the latest fad on the internet, re cooking, and i am going to keep poking fun at abuck chasing the interfad |
| steve block | also maillard is the manufacturer of my bicycle's rear hub |
| andy buck | this is a "fad" in much the same way that the printing press, the computer, and the car were fads |
| steve block | you don't even have a printing press |
| andy buck | that is true of course |
| bryan wann | I would like to try one of these 10 steaks |
| sam wong | I'll have the other 9 steaks |
| ben janke | "honey, i loved the kitchen, but i just don't like where they put the thermal immersion circulator" |
| andy buck | haha, in 10 years or so that may be entirely possible. the rumor i've heard is that manufactures would add temperature controlled waterbaths to stovetops in place of griddles/french tops |
| steve block | they will sell them at target next to the fryers |
| andy buck | that isn't so far off, sur la table already sells a device |
| bryan wann | Yet Keurig still won't sell me a coffeemaker at Target I can plumb into the water supply |
| ben janke | petition to change name to 'lobster hot tub' |
| andy buck | thomas keller (of french laundry + per se fame) actually uses one of these to poach lobster tails. instead of filling up the tub with water, he uses beurre monte and puts the tails in directly |
