The thing i like is that the chef who created that, is realistic and even admitted it went too far and wasn't something you'd crave. He didn't let ego get in the way of reality.

Yeah, but Guga does that all the time. If it's amazing, he'll rave about it. If the experiment is not a success, he'll be honest!

[@juggerne]

Guga just for you to know, the way they were cooking it was indeed confit, and not sous-vide. In french to cook something sous-vide refers to cooking in a vacuum bag, vide mean empty. Here they cooked it without a bag and in fat

[@Eveseptir]

It would be suprising if Guga didn't know what confit was but then again it's not really that well known in the states, not since the invention of canning anyway. Pre industrial times confit was the only way to preserve meat that didn't alter it as much as drying or salting. The english would refer to it as potting, where the meat was typically coocked slowly in fat in a clay jar and sealed with a layer of hot tallow. It was tied off with a cloth to keep the bugs out and could be stored in a cupboard for almost a year. It's still a great technique for cooking today as the meat is fully rendered and succulent. I love breaking up a duck, dry brine overnight and making it confit in a dutch oven, YUM.

he's confit-ing it , there is no vacuum involved , the bag is what makes it sous-vide not the water circulator/tempereuse

[@pep2001bg]

i dont think so

[@RyanEglitis]

Correct - sous vide means without air. Though I would say it's both confit AND sous vide, colloquially at least.

@@pep2001bg when he says sous-vide what he means is poached , at least in this video

​@@pep2001bg It doesn't matter what you think. Fact is fact. Not vacuumed, not sous vide.

[@JamesTMurray]

Guga, this is Confit. Sous vide is the same concept, though in confit, the medium used to retain the temperature is also used to impart flavor. Sous Vide literally means, "under vacuum". That meat is not under vacuum so it's confit.

[@a8anasios666]

Ohhhh ok, nice explanation

[@Carebear-g]

[@HimaJeff]

Bro calling us poor💀

[@youtubeSuckssNow]

I am so I can't be offended. I couldn't afford a bite of waygu so it is what it is.

[@mckidney1]

It is Confit, sousvide would not allow exchange of solid that dissolve in both fat and water. This is why sous-vide replaced it as the flavor does not change. (It is not intuitive, but the fat will draw flavor out of the meat instead of adding it like basting)

[@permafrostprod1]

Sous-vide = under vacum Confit = slowly cooked at low temperature in fat It was confied not sous-vide cooked. The use of a termal immersion circulator and a bassin doesn't equate to sous-vide, as you can cook sous-vide in various other methods as long as the food is vaccum sealed. The circulator and the probe were used in this case to measure very accuratly the temperature of the meat and to ensure that the fat would distribute heat extremely acuratelly, because I'm assuming the Chef didn't want to f*up is crazy expensive experimentation.

[@mckidney1]

Circulators are great for comfit. Just gotta make sure to use water to clean.

[@Shadowman4710]

[@SF-md6tl]

😆

[@dailylyfof-kai7334]

Yes

[@waywardmind]

He's using a sous vide heater to confit it. If the liquid is not water and the protein is submerged directly (not in a plastic bag), it's not sous vide. If it's fat specifically, it's confit. This is confit, Guga.

[@mckidney1]

Important comment - sous vide does not care about the liquid, it uses water because it resolves problems of: Buoyancy, heat capacity and speed of transfer (low viscosity). Fat is nowhere near as good as water and the only reason it was used is that fat and water do not mix - it was simple man's plastic bag. Confit will extract all solid that dissolves better in fat than water (most flavors) and reduce the rest. This is in no way critique of the chef: He even mentioned that he chose fat extracted from dry aged meat. Compensating for the loss of flavor.

[@MrDanbecker]

Yes .. Sous vide means without access to air. And that is immersed in water which is heated to 54 degrees. That surprises me from Gouga, I thought he was a sous vide specialist.

[@Eunegin23]

Sous vide. French. Means under vacuum. And as it says...

[@jamesmurphy7828]

I have been conned.

[@zoulzopan]

whats the difference between confit and deep frying something?

[@firefly4f4]

Sous vide is french for "under vacuum". As there's no vacuum involved and the roast is put directly in the fat, it's confit. The circulator is simply to keep the temperature constant and fat moving.

[@jbkregs2766]

GUGA, sous vide as you know means “under vacuum”. This chef only used the circulator to warm that amount of fat. He did in fact confit that prime rib.

[@giovanniantenucci1351]

[@UmbrellaAl]

It’s not really sous vide because it’s not under vacuum. It is confit using a circulator.

[@modernth3896]

[@patknights1492]

As the protein is not under vacuum this is just using a heat circulator to confit as the chef is cooking the protein directly in the fat at a lower temperature than frying.

[@Burnzymister]

You would think after running a very successful channel dedicated to sous vide for years now, he'd know what it is. Ha! Love you bro.

[@veridico84]

Sous vide means without air/under vacuum. Confit means cooked in fat. All because he uses a circulator, doss not mean sous vide, there is no bag. Cooking in a bag is needed to call it sous vide

So humble

[@AllanWorks]

i smoked one on my pellet smoker set to 160f until the internal temp hit 135f. i coated it with a heavily flavored garlic and herb infused butter I made then hit it with my torch for the crust. i use St. Elmos horse radish to make a horseradish sauce for dipping that is king when it comes to dipping meat in. i also do the same for eye of round loins but I also inject it to tenderize it. its almost as good but it's slightly tuffer and doesn't have that flavorful fat. I'm just lucky my cousin's husband owns a butcher shop and he thinks my smoking skills are top-notch.

I have been dry aging meat for almost 30 years and I NEVER dry age it past 45 days and almost always do I dry age it for 21-35 days. All depending on what meat and what cut it is. And also for who I am to cook the meat for and at times for who I dry age the meat for as I do dry age meat for others as well. At times I do dry age as little as 14 days just to tenderize the meat as some don't like the taste from meat that has been dry aged to get the typical dry age taste. It is also very important to dry age on the bone if possible. I find wet aging terrible and rather slow cook a non aged meat instead of cooking wet aged meat. A beef chuck is amazing for slow cooking.

Hey Guga, I'm curious if you could do an experiment on Sous Vide Everything, what if you used the pellicle of a dry aged steak, possibly dehydrate it or something, and turn it into a seasoning that you add to a non-dry aged steak. Would it make it taste dry aged?

[@PWNHUB]

Guga 3:50 that is not Sous Vide, the term Sous Vide literally means "under vacuum" without vacuum sealing the item it will not get the same effect as actual sous video cooking. Also, oil/fat doesn't have as much water content which means confit is already more temperature accurate than water without the circulator, but in this case the amount of fat being used requires circulation in order to not get weird. Imagine with all your experience what that vat of fat would be like just sitting on burners or in an oven w/ no circulation of the liquid.

GUGA, CAN YOU DO A SHOW ON EXOTIC MUSHROOMS THAT WORK WELL WITH STEAKS? AND HOW TO COOK THEM (WITH THE STEAK OR AFTER OR BEFORE). I like King Boletes. But I am from Oregon and I used to go pick them myself. Now, it's hard to do since the roads are barricaded after all of the fires in 2020. Italians call this mushroom "Porcini" (the little pig). ALSO TRUFFLES. MAYBE AS A SIDE DISH? BLACK OR WHITE TRUFFLES WITH A STEAK? I used to pick my own truffles too but that got sketchy in the early 2000's when the Asian gangs took over. They would secretly follow me to my spots deep in the woods, and then they would dig up EVERYTHING and ruin the spot for later, so nothing grew back. I picked up by Skookum Meadow WA. Anyway, the brush picker gangs were dangerous, as well. So I quit picking my own truffles and then I couldn't afford to buy them. Very sad, but that's life. By the way, the best way to see a bigfoot is not to try and to be looking for truffles and mushrooms. And yes, they are real. I used to see their huge green florescent poop and tracks by the swamps. And you can tell when one is looking at you, even though you can't see or smell it.
