View original postWhat food does strike your fancy these days?
View original postAvocado. I don't know why, but I could probably eat a grilled avocado every day. I cut it in half, douse in lemon or lime juice and chipotle sauce and top with cheese, then stick under the grill in the oven. Who doesn't love burned-y cheese? Also, a sort of cauliflower/cheese casserole thing. Again with the burned-y cheese.
avocado? What is wrong with you?

View original postRibeye: Better to just fry it... it's decent as a sous vide food, but you need the browning to get the best taste, and it can get too hot if you brown afterwards.
View original postSous vide steak sounds nasty.
It isn't nasty, it is just that one has expectations which are not fulfilled.

View original postSalmon: Salmon mi-cuit seemed popular on the internets, but when I tried it, it was a sashimi taste on a horrible texture... better to just have it raw.
View original postI would have expected this to work better.
Possibly, I did do it on a cheap piece of norwegian salmon, so if I get better stuff, it might be better. I am just not very interested in trying.

View original postNow, I mentioned earlier the whole pulled pork thing. I have been experimenting with different types of BBQ-sauces for that purpose, and have found a couple I really like (one mustard, one ketchup-based), but I figured I'd ask around here, since I just assume americans know bbq best... What are the best types of bbq sauces for pulled pork?
View original postWe make our own pulled pork, w/o a special bbq sauce. We do a dry rub, cook the pork until it is falling apart, then let the sauce reduce down and soak in. Bbq sauces are often way to sugary, because I love the ones with hickory (or mesquite) and brown sugar. And onions.
See, problem with sous vide is that it doesn't really release the juices... and I have a tendency to add liquid hickory smoke to any bbq sauce, it just tastes better...

Well, food, actually, but... as long as it involves experimenting, it is science, right?
