I got an immersion circulator (anova PC) for my birthday and have been playing around with it. After looking into cooking times for steak and chicken breasts (and other meat that is not being tenderized) I'm quite confused. Most recipes for steak say cook a 1.5" steak at 129f for 1 hour for medium rare. While it is often stated that the time can go beyond 1 hour, 1 hour is the preference using serious eats page for reference). However, based on the sous vide dash app it looks like the steak will have a core temperature below 129. For the 1.5" steak, it takes 3:20 to get up to temp and at 1 hour it looks like it is around 120f, almost a full ten degrees under the target temperature. Therefore the steak will come out rare, rather than medium rare. The case is similar for large chicken breasts (a .75" breast will be at temp in 1 hour) with a 1.5" breast taking 3:15 to get to 150 and typical times for cooking breasts listed at 1 hour. I will mention that in both cases the surface pasteurization is complete within the hour. Am I missing something, or are people cooking these items so the core temp is below the bath temp (which would lead to a temperature and doneness gradient within the meat)? Monti
