That sounds good for brisket. For round I'd do it longer to tenderize it better. Sorry for the delay, I was up in your neck of the woods for a couple days and struck with crappy hotel internet.
I've never done a head to head test of frozen vs not. I can say that sliced smoked pork and turkey breast in a salad seem in all ways normal post freeze.
Just read the Forbes article. What a crazy toaster oven! They going to sell it to the AirForce? At 3k that's the only customer. And as said above there are lots of pointless features. And it's small. Looks like 1/4 sheet pan at best. And no steam. The Breville Smart Oven would kick its ass for <1/10 the price
PS has the advantage of a prestegious brand name. Kind of like that brand of range with the red knobs. Reliability might be an issue, but if there was a problem with anova it would have shown up here on eG. Sticks in my mind that the PS comes in odd colors...maybe not. PS also has a fixed clamp as opposed to the adjustable one on anova 2.0. I'd say anova wins
Variables are dose of lime rind on the skin (its not the juice itself, but in the rind), how much light there is and individual reactivity. In FL sunlight it wouldn't take too long at midday.
I have a couple anodized aluminum pots and I'd say that they are a little less non-stick than a properly oiled and heated SS pan. And because of the surface can't be scrubbed as violently as an SS could be.
I tend to like the Euro approach to wine. Jammy is not tasty to me. In fact, I don't understand the appeal. Uber-pricey California wine is fine, but the stuff I'll buy is usually best if French/spanish/Italian.
