SOUS VIDE BONELESS SKINLESS CHICKEN BREAST | DUO EVO PLUS Instant Pot VS Anova & How To Do It

[@cdsnider9496]

This is from FDA website 145 degrees is good if you hold it for 8 minutes The FDA Food Code recommends cooking chicken to 165°F (74°C). But the pasteurization of chicken is actually a function of both temperature and time. If you can hold your chicken at 145°F (63°C) for 8.5 minutes, you can achieve the same bacterial reduction as at 165°F (74°C)

I did steak on the sous vide function on my instant pot and my brother, who was visiting, was impressed. He'd told me he really wouldn't eat much more than a 6 oz steak and the steak I made was 10 oz and he ate the WHOLE steak. I was honest that I'd never tried sous vide before and said well, if it doesn't come out good, we can go out to eat. Didn't go out to eat.

[@JohnSanders]

That is good to hear...I think it is an excellent way to cook a steak...glad your brother enjoyed it and thanks for sharing that!!!

[@soandsononame8750]

Instant pot duo crisp sous vide as well. It says to use the pressure cooker lid for best results, I think it would maintain a more accurate temp than the lid with the steamer vent

[@JohnSanders]

You could be correct but it took it a long time to come to temp the last time I tried it...but I haven't ruled out trying it again...thanks for watching!

[@amesstoday]

I use the lid and the vent does not need to be open.

[@pattij6104]

according to the Duo Crisp manual..... Place and close the lid as described in Pressure Control Features-Pressure Cooking Lid. Note: The quick release switch will automatically set to Seal when the lid is closed. For Sous Vide it does not matter if the quick release switch is set to Seal or Vent. Note: The pressure cooking lid is not necessary when cooking sous vide, however it is recommended for optimal temperature control.

Great video my man, and thanks for the cooks illustrated link as well. Very helpful.

[@JohnSanders]

Glad you enjoyed the video...thanks for watching!!!

[@daveinca2]

Thank you for making this video! I never really understood about sous vide, and your video did a great job of explaining it. Now that I see how well the Duo Evo Plus does with this task, I'm going to give it a try. This would be great in a wrap or maybe even fajitas with the right seasonings at the end. I hate overcooked chicken, so this sounds about perfect for me.

[@JohnSanders]

I think you will be very impressed and I think this will become a common way to cook chicken breast in the near future now that the duo evo does it so well... thanks for watching!!

[@soandsononame8750]

I sous vide in my instant pot as well. It doesn't circulate the water, which allegedly results in a more consistent texture. But for someone who has just started sous vide, it works just fine, still cooking things better than I ever have before.

[@JohnSanders]

I totally agree...it's a good way to try out sous vide and quite honestly it does just as good of job....thanks for watching!

[@regnilk7]

Enjoy your vidoes. Thanks. I bought one of the regular sous vide machine...used it twice, returned it!. Bought the Instant Pot Duo Plus about 3 weeks ago. Oh my word!! Yezz..will only sous vide from now on. You have given me the courage to try the breast. Cross fingers please! LOL

[@JohnSanders]

It makes a really good meal...I do recommend a instant read thermometer to verify the water temp...thanks for watching!!!

Thank you for making a video understandable so I can finish my supper tonight. My chicken is in the IP DUO right now.

[@CrimFerret]

I'm somewhat limited on storage so being able to do sous vide with the insta pot is a big plus. I'm sure the Innova is more capable if one were doing a lot of souse vide. Based on your videos, I'll definitely be verifying the water temp is at least close to what I set.

[@JohnSanders]

I think it is perfect for occasional sous vide and glad my video helped...thanks for watching!!!

Love your video… Can I use my instant pot Duo for sous vide? Are there videos to tell us how ?

[@JohnSanders]

You can and there are videos but I recommend if you plan to very much look into circulator

[@CorenaClean]

I think the instapot would hold the temp if you put the instapot lid on it.

[@PopleBackyardFarm]

love this. New friend Ruthie

[@JohnSanders]

Thanks Ruthie...I'm glad you enjoyed it and thanks for watching!!!

[@VirgilS-oz3ow]

Would the instant pot more efficient if you place the pressure cooker lid on it. The slow cooker lid has a hole which will lower the temperature.

[@Turritopsis-dohrnii]

maybe the difference in temp was because of the vent in the glass lid of the IP

[@annegracem.6337]

Brand new subscriber here. Love your videos, Mr Sanders! Wanted to doublecheck this: When you're talking about searing your chicken after completing the "Sous Vide" cooking... do you set the InstantPot to "Saute" to preheat and sear poultry, correct? Thanks so much for all the fantastic lessons and information!🍽💟🍽🍃

[@JohnSanders]

Thanks for subscribing... and yes... set it to saute and let it heat for a few minutes with a little avocado oil in the bottom... then sear until you get a little cookie... hope this helps and thanks for watching!!!

bbq chicken, can you cook with the sauce or will that make the meat tough?

[@kimberlysweet1816]

Hi John, Not sure if you will see this question as this video was a while ago. But, I am wondering where you got or if you could provide a link for the glass lid with the built in opening for the Anova. I saw the black one on Amazon. But, it is not glass with the handles. Well done!

[@7heRedBaron]

Turkey. Did someone say turkey? I quartered my Thanksgiving turkey and cooked it sous vide. Everything you just said about the chicken goes exactly the same for the turkey. It doesn’t look the same (unless you get a clothes hanger and wire it back together). But don’t do that. Brown up the skin with the shop torch and slice it up on the plate. Nobody will know except it will taste better than any turkey they ever had. I don’t know how you got the smell of that chicken to come through my IPad. Amazing.

[@JohnSanders]

Haha... You must have that new smellovision app installed...lol...and turkey I'm am positive would come out spectacular with this method and torch...thanks for watching!

[@Cattitude48]

Good video. I need to check these devices out because we hate stringy, tough chicken. They need to go back to raising regular chickens instead of these modified for large serving size breasts. I am curious why you bought the Anova over the Instant Pot version since the IP can be used with other pots? I didn't even realize IP has one.

[@JohnSanders]

I didn't mention the pot I was using with the Anova in this video but I explain it better in the sous vide ribeye video...you can use the Anova with any pot...I purchased the Anova before instant pot had a stick sous vide on the market...thanks for watching and this method of cooking chicken breast is really good and it will eliminate stringy and tough chicken...thanks for watching!

[@christopherh2352]

I put hot tap water in my six quart instant pot pro and set the temperature at 130. After 40 minutes, it still had not started cooking. I checked the temperature with my thermometer and it said it was 132. What gives?

[@MamaT1525]

John, you mentioned that you did not have a good sous vide experience with the Duo Crisp because it took too long to come to temp. Does it do ok otherwise once it does come to temp, or is the sous vide function totally inept for that purpose? I make yogurt successfully with the sous vide so it is worth something. However, if you think I should go get a Duo Evo Plus just say the word. 😊 Thanks for such a great channel. I thoroughly enjoy watching.

[@JohnSanders]

I am worried with the amount of time it takes to get to temp and believe that might affect its ability to maintain temps so I have not tried a complete cook... hope this helps and thanks for watching!!!

[@MamaT1525]

John Sanders this is the next day after reading your response. As a test, I put half a pot of 125 degrees plain water in the Duo Crisp and set it to sous vide 8 hours at 135 degrees. It reached temp in about half an hour and has maintained right at 135 for the past 4 hours. Of course, there was no food in the water, which I am sure would have it’s effect on the temperature. I do hope you will give the Duo Crisp another chance at sous vide and post your results positive or negative. Since you had doubts about it maintaining temp, I was concerned about my yogurt not staying at 110 for the 8 hours, but I feel like the milk probably maintained like the water did, so I feel better about using the sous vide for yogurt.

[@Pbos209]

Thank you so much for your video! Do you check the internal temp of chicken when it is done?

[@Roofing_Systems_Academy]

Is it safe cooking in plastic like that?

[@ready2rummble]

Looks as if the instant pot chicken breast was a bit more moist than the other chicken. I am cajun so I have to season and marinate my chicken prior to cooking.

You can do it from frozen too. If you vacuum seal your meat and freeze it like I do, you can drop it straight into the hot water frozen. It takes four hours instead of two. But you don’t need to plan ahead by putting frozen meat in the fridge two days early and risk forgetting it or anything like that. I’ve also seen chicken prepackaged to go in the freezer. You don’t have to unpack it and repack it to cook it. Throw that treasure right into the water as is.

Why I wont use my IP for sous vide is because it doesnt circulate the water so you can get hot spots and cold spots in the IP. The IP is a good jack of all trades but I will stick with my anova being a specialist device.

[@JohnSanders]

I understand that...I have been impressed with its consistent temps though...thanks for watching!

[@amesstoday]

For several years I used my water distiller as my sous vide device. Everything turned out perfect every time eventhough the water doesn't circulate mechanicaly. I had a sous vide oven where the water did circulate, however, I get the same results without circulating. That instapot does a great job and I love it.

[@Resist4]

As the water heats in the Instant Pot, the temperature differential causes some water circulation. Granted it's not as much as with the Anova, but there is still some circulation.
