Oh My! i cant believe this dishwasher method made the big time! 30 years ago, I started cooking King (Chinook) pacific salmon in the dishwasher for family gatherings. I butterfly them, de-bone as much as I can, butter season lemon, then seal them up. Although different from your commentary, i make everyone very aware that the salmon is ready to cook, then I throw it in the dishwasher and click start. Its absolutely perfect every single time, you just can't screw this up. I do sear it slightly after removal, but the meat is always juicy, flaky, and perfect. Top rack only! I've tried Coho (silver) salmon, but for that I prefer a bake or grill with alder smoke. The texture is a bit more fragile than King. I haven't tried tuna, but it would be perfect I'm sure. Great find today on your channel, makes me smile!

You missed an even easier way of cooking Sous Vide; most Croc Pots have a "Keep Warm" setting, that keeps the temp around 140 degrees; suitable for pork and chicken breast. Also, a ~$35 temperature control unit can turn any Slow Cooker into a small Sous Vide Oven, with no wiring beyond plugging the slow cooker into the control unit. For that matter, using said control unit, a cooler, a $10 immersion heater, a flower pot (to protect the cooler from direct contact with the heater) and an air pump with a bit of tubing and an air stone (for circulation) you can build a Sous Vide Oven suitable for cooking even the largest pieces of meat. Perfect for full briskets, whole racks of ribs, or batch cooking enough for a large party. If the meat can fit in the cooler, then you can cook it Sous Vide with less then $60 of additional equipment......

As always you nailed it, and thanks for that! My first sous vide apparatus was a Styrofoam ice chest and I used an aquarium water pump for circulation while the digital forced air heater was pulled into the mix at a metered rate....just buy a real machine, get the package in the $ 200 range, it'll give you the best bang for your buck and then later on it may not seem enough. Buy a real good power head and improvise...my best friend is a Styrofoam ice chest, all my cooks are below 140F and they're good for 10-12 good scrubbings .

[@jkpetrik]

Hi Guga! As I was experimenting before I bought a sous vide machine i would place a large pot in my sink with a properly prepped steak. Then i would run the water from the household hot water system to fill the pot. Believe it or not, that water comes in at about 127 to 135 - which is a medium rare. Once the pot was full, I would reduce the water stream to a tiny trickle - very little water is needed to maintain temperature. Throw a thermometer in to check and you'd have a perfectly done medium rare in an hour!! BTW... one of my best friends is Brazilian - from Cascavel.

Guga You should really try doing steaks in all those infomercial grills and products that they have all over the place. If the product is hosted by Kathy Mitchell or is a Ronco thing you're in for a good time.

[@SuperFredAZ]

Before I bought a sousvide machine, I used a big pot of water (no plastic handles) put the put on top of the stove and checked temperature, I set the temperature to a few degrees lower than I wanted and then put it into a modern oven with a keep warm feature. My oven stays about 150 F, so every 1/2 hour I turn it off, and 1/2 hour later turn it on to keep warm. With all the water around the meat it stays within a few degrees of desired temperature. At the end of 2 hours pull the pot out and sear the meat. This worked quite well.

Congrats on the milstone. So I have to say sorry Guga, much love and respect for your channels. I have been a sub for a long time and every time you talk about "the Queen of all steaks" my mouth drooled with your description. I found a Latin food market in town and asked them to trim up one for me and he egerly did. I sous vided it for 1 hour @135° then seared it with my torch. I was so excited to finally taste the long anticipated flavor of this particular cut of beef. Sat down, cut into it, the juices running out so beautifully from the first cut to the last, and I was met with a flavor that can only be descibed as.......wait for it....... Beef. No diffrent from most cuts I have enjoyed over the years. Great taste, very enjoyable, but not anywhere near as amazing as my anticipation lead me to believe. But still Thank you for getting me to venture into a store I normally would not go to because I have found some new favorites in there. Aa well as some good prices on some of my old hard to find favorites.

I have used an Instant Pot Ultra with a lid and stainless trivets for weights and a short trivet to keep the meat from touching the bottom when cooking steak or pork loin. No stirring or turning. For long cooks I use a Coleman 16 quart ice chest with a hole sized to fit my Anova circulator, trivets for weights, and an IKEA plate rack to separate multiple pieces of meat. For a packer brisket you can use a Coleman 24 can Party Stacker. You can even cut the lid in half and add hinges but it is not necessary. Coleman had the best prices with the flattest lids.

Just over two years ago I bought my first sous vide gizmo - because of your videos. So I must have subscribed a bit before that. I got a cheap one, which has recently become wonky, so my order is out right now for an Anova. I've had fun experimenting, and watching your videos along the way. Right now I'm trying to maximize the sous vide (and other) cooking for home grown roosters and year old hens from my homestead, and I'm getting there. You may want to try silicon re-usable bags. They're not as good as the vacuum bags, in that there may be more air in them even with the submersion method, but they are reusable, and also they don't (when you sous vide at high temps) make the food taste like plastic. I weight them down with utensils and small saucers when I need to do so. A fascinating set of "sous vide" type experiments here! Great post, thank you!

[@aarondavenport9488]

GUGA!!! LOVE your channel and your beautiful and tasty recipes, but you are wrong about the cooler method. As long as you are using a good cooler (Coleman or better) you don't need to babysit the water like that. Just make the start temp about 5-10° higher than you want to finish, then close the lid and leave it without peeking for up to 2hrs. The water will lose a few degrees over that time, depending on the type and size of your cooler. I cooked several steaks this way before getting my Anova for Christmas and I can guarantee it works hands-off. LOVE YOU GUGA!

[@DonPandemoniac]

Very inventive and mucho entertaining! I've used the pan method many times, a large pan of water (no lid on it) on a low flame is pretty easy to keep at the right temperature for hours without much attention.

[@jamescraun1434]

Hi Guga! I'm sorry if these were already mentioned, but for the next one please do crock pot, instant pot, electric water kettle, electric skillet, and electric griddle (set a pan on top). I think most people have at least one of those items in their house already and are all relatively inexpensive (except maybe the instant pot). There are also a lot of automatic stirrer machines out there that are pretty cheap and that would prevent you from having to stir every 15 mins.
