Can't do poached eggs, the ultrasonic cleaner isn't food grade so they can't cook anything that requires the food to actually contact the water (not if they want to taste it afterward, anyway). Could do some sous vide soft/hard-boiled eggs though.

[@reynamartinez392]

@@Abion47 well, if you are just boiling the eggs, can you just put them in with the shell

[@Abion47]

@@reynamartinez392 In theory, probably, but I'm still not sure I personally would trust a hard-boiled egg that was boiled in water which was potentially contaminated with chemicals and/or heavy metals. The calcium carbonate shell is tough but mildly porous so it's far from impenetrable, and who knows how the ultrasound will affect its integrity.

This needs another trial this with a second sous vide device immersed in the ultrasonic cleaner providing consistent and uniform heat source to both test steaks simultaneously. I feel like this would isolate the tenderization and provide a better result.

[@danfr]

Seconded. Nate is talking about medium being tougher and I don't know how much he sous vides/if he's had a medium or well done SOUS VIDE steak to compare. Sous Vide changes quite a bit so if that rule about more cooked being tougher applies or not.

The reason it feels more tender is because it's been tenderized. I have a small ultrasonic cleaner and I use it tenderize meat (not cook it). It also tenderizes meat from the inside as well as outside.

[@j_weber24]

This is random but I’d love to see you guys try to cook a steak with friction somehow

[@richardglickman7203]

I think it makes sense the u sonic device came out cooked more and more tender. Heat is “excited” molecules. The u sonic had the same cooking time and temperature as the sous vide but the u sonic process provided an hour of tenderizing which may have both amplified the heat and accelerated the transfer of the heat through the steak.

Nice. I've been looking for other uses for my ultrasonic cleaner. Looks like I found one!

"You'll hear a buzzing." I have blood coming from my ears now and that's mostly because I tried to claw them off to end the pain.

[@XenosEditz]

Can you make vid that you put vegtebales in the ultrasonic

[@andrewceifetz3359]

Generally, in an ultrasonic cleaner like that, the heating element is on the bottom side of the tray, and the steak was resting on it (so almost direct contact with the heat) which may explain why it cooked more compared to the sous vide (which as you pointed out, circulates the hot water around the pot an didn't have the steak in direct contact). Perhaps raise the rack off the bottom of the cleaning tray a bit more and see if that makes a difference?

Wouldn't a TKOR dinner party be interesting. Freeze dried appetizers. Ultrasonic steak and giant desserts.

That's about what I expected. The ultrasonic shook some of the moisture from the steak and tenderized it.

What happens to obleck in an ultrasonic cleaner, does it harden up or stay liquid or is there no change to its form?

[@MichaelAChang]

Stirring the water is very important - temperature can vary by as much as 10 degrees C depending on where the heating element is and where temperature is measured. I discovered this from making my own sous vide cooker with a REX-C100 PID temperature controller and various water vessels - the best is using a rice cooker where stirring is unnecessary because the heating element is at the bottom covering the entire pot surface..
