good points . thank you . Ill continue w Smoke , then SV , as its wasier that way the CkDrums are dry out of the S&S pack , and the SV bags stay sealed , and pasteurized .

@Smithy a very fine ' strip ' it is. its been a ' mice ' week but on Sunday , not in line w the weeks ' strips :

ive been doing off and on smoking for some time . outdoor w a pellet container on a closed Weber ( cold ) and the same w the Weber ' Cooking ' these days , I have an InDoorSmoker https://forums.egullet.org/topic/167917-cooking-with-a-countertop-indoor-smoker/#comment-2412421 and am an big fan of SousVide , for many variations. My Question : any reliable information of evaluating the results : 1 ) LowTempSmoke ( for me IDS , 85 F , 3 hours w turning ) then SV for the appropriate time for the item InThebag : fowl : 142F , 8 hrs 1 ) juts do the same thing in reverse SV the fowl , the ( saving those Jus'es ) IDS for 3 hours . rebag , Fz. Id really like to know if there are notable taste differences , between the two . thank you.

@Paul Bacino Those Shells are going into my Pasta p0rn folder . they look perfectly fantastic. Lasagna /// Cannelloni al Forno /// Stuffed Shells are my favorite Italian .

@weinoo nice Fell off the truck , did they ? late '70's , I used to get swordfish that didn't fall off the truck , but was still on the truck thick-set dark Italian types selling it in the old Scully Square , BOS. 1/4 the price of fish mongers right around the corner . only swordfish . very very fresh it was.

gallon ( or two ) => Potato Salad => ' Church Lunch ' , etc.

@Smithy Excellent . a sort of Dollar-Cost averaging . Commodities Desk version . https://www.investopedia.com/terms/d/dollarcostaveraging.asp

@japanesegeek that's the place. Their chorizo is quite good. lucky you , no shipping charges , which were significant.

@jedovaty Interesting is the "" La Española "" that makes and sells top end ' Spanish chorizo ' but made locally in CA ? I used to get some of those Chorizo's and they were very very good . same as in Spain.

@weinoo excellent. Im sure you will pick out the tasty ones. Its a long trip for me to save $ 1.99 // pack .

Ive been working w chicken legs recently , as Stop&ship has them on sale , $ 0.88 - $ 0.99 // lb. the trays have 10 - 12 , depending on the size of the legs. I try to get the 10 / tray , but it really does not matter that much. Initially I removed most of the skin from the legs , before using the InDoorSmoker for a 3 hour smoking session. I decided that was a lot of work for not much return , so now leave the skin on. after smoking for 3 hours , ( one tray at a time ) some go into a vac bag and get SV'd for 8 hours , rapidly chilled , etc. and several trays get turned into concentrated chicken stock , after the smoking. what was missing w this stock , although exceptionally delicious this way , was Maillard-ing some of the meat , for that ' brown' flavor So : I cut off most of the meat from the CkDrums and saute'd them in a 10 " Fondless : scraping up the Fond from the pan and adding it to the iPot I did two trays here , and the second set the next day that brown gell is the result of the first day's stock making , resulting in I then used this ( and the potato that snuck into the pic , for a ' creamed roasted chicken ' dinner over here : https://forums.egullet.org/topic/167297-dinner-2025/page/95/#comment-2463334

over here https://forums.egullet.org/topic/155098-instant-pot-multi-function-cooker-part-5/page/80/ I made roasted smoked chicken stock then I made dinner mise no added salt Campbells cream of Ck soup. had not used this is quite a while. its quite chicken-ey two scoops of jelled roastred Ck stock Diner peas , drained and ready for the Micro , top R Jell from one of the SV bags w the SV'd ChDrums . used one drum Chicken added to the creak of mizture . standard base I micro'd for starters 3 Idaho's then CSO'd them until very crispy . 425 40 - 45 minutes I chop them up while very hot , as they are easier to eat this way , vs cutting throuhg the skins w a knife later on the plate plate w peas and potato ( very hot ) added the micro's chicken mixture note the sauce along the rim of the plate . a House Specialty ! I knew this would be good . It was much better than good . the roasted creamed chicken was outstanding a real keeper for me , and most of the work is done in advance , and each dinner is very easy to assemble.

@ElsieD interesting questions if the rice blends ' cook up ' to your satisfaction , by your usual method ( being slightly different ) I they should freeze in the same manner , by the same method you have used for single grain rice. reheating ? if the bag is sealed , shy not heat up in a pan of hot water ? you thermapen the water when its lose to service time , and that's the temp of your rice . add more heat if the water cools dow, Ive microwaved ' refrigerator rice ' successfully , but id open the bag and put the contents in a dish ( covered ) if you want to micro from Fz. so the bag doesnt explode
