    I'll try to link what I can but there is a wealth of information and extension discussion on it in the cooking thread. My favorite resource when I was getting started was the Serious Eats Food Lab, explains a ton of background and testing for how they arrived at their time/temp charts. Modernist Cuisine is also a pretty revered source of sous vide info.

    Got mine for xmas, did a ribeye tonight with it and it was incredible. Somewhat documented in the perfect steak thread. I just followed what the Anova app suggested for the type of meat and the size.

    But chef steps, seriouseats.com and a few other sites are great resources.

    Unless you already have one, for the time being don't feel like you need a vacuum sealer. Use the water displacement method. Also, find a torch for searing steaks.

    i've heard torches can distort the flavor of the meat. have you had any dealings with that?

    The food grade torches typically filter out the propane/butane taste.

    This comes from uncombusted gas that gets on the meat, which can happen if you are just using a torch by itself. If you use a torch in conjunction with a hot pan or grill it won't be an issue as all the gas will combust (and it's also the best method for quick searing anyway). Alternatively, if you want to use just the torch you can get a searzall attachment that will cut out any torch taste.

    My normal method for searing after sous vide is to get a skillet really hot, drop the meat in and then sear the upper half and sides really well with the torch while the pan sears the bottom. This lets you get a really good sear and crust on all surfaces with very little time in the pan.

    Other than the normal burgers, steaks, chicken, pork chop etc. I have cooked brisket (phenomenal), pork butt (phenomenal), and my buddy made Pastrami (out of this world). Haven't made fish yet but I've been using the Anova for about a year now and it never disappoints.

    Well, he did say things like "just for kicks" and "for shits and giggles" in his post...so I don't think he was saying that you've GOT to cook soft boiled eggs sous vide.

    I do think that it's interesting to cook eggs sous vide though. Especially for beginners.

    While this isn't a reason on its own to buy a sous vide setup, it's also a great way to get your strike water and other brewing water to the exact temp you need it to be. (for the homebrew geeks)

    Yes hello I recently joined the sous vide fun - it's amazing. I went to cosco bought meat in bulk - season, vacuum seal, freeze, throw it in ice water when i leave for work - turn it on after lunch from my phone - come home to perfect meat.

    Next I need to get that searzall - that looks amazing.
