I've always been grossed out by sauerkraut since I was a kid. My mom made it all the time.

That said...I've never actually eaten it.

I should probably try it.

Kimchi, also cabbage, is pretty pungent as well. Luckily? most of it's so spicy you forget you are eating rotten cabbage. I have had some I really enjoyed, however.

I hate Sauerkraut, and I hate mustard, but God do I love Sauerkraut and German sausage and mustard.

Gonna have to throw in a slow cooker of that this week!

anyone here big into sous vide at home? had a great sous vide steak this weekend at a restaurant, thinking about trying it out at home. review here
Anova Sous Vide Immersion Circulator Product Review

says anova is pretty good, not sure what the ship time on it is. the other two I have seen are the $269 nomiko
Nomiku: Sous Vide Machine - Massdrop

or the $199 sansaire which is out of stock at the moment
Sansaire

would also need to get a vacuum sealer but everything I have seen and read seems to say the steaks and pork chops and veggies come out quite a bit tastier than just pan fry or grill, with a lot less cleanup and effort.

there are some commercial sous vide units on amazon for not a whole lot more, but I like the idea of supporting a kickstarter product, the downside is they haven't been out very long so who knows how well made they are.

I've been cockblocked twice this weekend trying to sous vide. Last night it was unexpected company, and tonight, I had everything ready when the wife told me we were out of vacuum bags.

Has anyone used a regular ziploc type bag and squeeze all the air out? Not going to happen tonight either way, just business as usual with the cast iron.

You don't need to vacuum sealer unless you're doing a marinade. Use a freezer ziplock, leave the corner open, lower it in slowly. The heat differential will push the majority of the air out, then seal it once it's almost in.
