This is the base I use. Can add just about anything to it to spruce it up a bit like sun dried tomatoes or hot sauce.

Well, folks, I put a whole roasting chicken in the sous vide. I put it in for 16 hours at 145 because that's how the timing worked. I think about 7 hours would have done it. I stuffed it with carrots, celery, onion and garlic, seasoned it inside and out, and put about 3 cups of chicken stock in the bag with it. The stock kept the chicken immersed in the water. When I took it out, I brushed it with butter and put it under the broiler for 10 minutes and ended up with nice, crispy skin.
The chicken was perfect. Not over cooked, probably the most tender chicken I've ever had, and great flavour. The extra bonus - the chicken stock is so damned delicious. You're making two meals in one. The stock is soup ready. Throw in a couple cut carrots and some noodles, and you're done. It is delicious, like knock your socks off delicious.
10/10 will do again.

I'd like to try that compared to the method I usually use (Butterflied Roasted Chicken With Quick Jus | Serious Eats). That Serious Eats recipe is insanely easy and always comes out delicious. It's also about 16 times faster. I do like the idea of the soup-ready stock. I'll give it a shot when I'm bored.

Yeah, I set it up the day before we needed it for dinner because the day we ate it we were running all day long and I wouldn't have had time to cook. I threw some potatoes with a little butter and rosemary in a bag around lunch time, and pan fried them at dinner. They were great, too.

That's actually a good thing. If you have a power outage, leave a burner on and your house will never freeze during winter. It's a bonus.

Yup. I'm looking forward to our kitchen redo this spring. New stove. New counters. New hardware. New island. I'm going to plumb in a sous vide hidie hole in the island counter. Gives me wood.

I used to think kitchen remodels were a frivolous (and stupid) waste of money that women wanted just so they could say "it's an updated kitchen" to their friends while sipping cheap wine out of a box. Now it's MY TERRITORY and the woman doesn't get a say on what tools and gadgets I employ in my man area.

I follow Gordon Ramsey on Instagram and he recently posted a picture of his kitchen. It's about 75% the size of my house.
