@weinoo that sea bream plating leaves a lot to be desired. but im sure it was tasty.

Foil looks fine , just keep it loose. you might not have to flip it so many times you can tell by how the top looks. thank you for the pics. its going to be very tasty and tender.

@TdeV tie it up evenly. you might add seasonings then into the A.O. turn it 1/2 way , its only 1 lb 12 oz

@TdeV interesting reply. I think cove loosely , after you assess the cooking .

dinners are on the early side , as its quite warm I frequently put together a ' Curry ++ ' dinner . only use the Micro. bottom layer : standard House salad : spinach , Campari T, window green onion , kimchi , sauerkraut , bit of EVOO. then one of Tj's Fz curries , Micro'd this one I think is called FieryChicken Vindaloo. its spicy this goes over the salad , then dried cherries and cranberries , and dry roasted pecans. I try to remember a scoop of mango chutney . quite nice .

@JoNorvelleWalker does the IDS now have a ' fishy ' aroma ? I might try something w fresh salmon.

Im drinking this : right now . could not wait to try it. From Tj's posted here : https://forums.egullet.org/topic/155097-trader-joes-products-2017–/page/65/#comment-2454266

went looking for a Chablis @ TJ's , to take down to the WHPS in a week or so. found one , butt my WineBuds recommended this white Bordeaux : it was $ 8.49 or so . I haven't had a white Bordeaux in Ions , not for any particular reason. used to get some all time . This one is a delight. My white table wine ( Index ) is the Tj's Coastal Chardonnay @ $ 4.99 Dry , no Oak , decent ' mouith feel ' this Graves is very very nice as a complementary to that : dry , crisp , light body : would be excellent w shellfish , and other very fresh fish. my WB's suggested it quite a bit pricier elsewhere . After a sip or three ( very cold ) I googled it its $ 17.99 ( USD ) elsewhere . I wouldnt get it for that price differential , but for what it is in my glass. Im taking a bottle of this , along w the Chablis down to the WHPS to compare at the same time. granted , grapes vs other grapes , but why not ?

@TdeV do you SV , w a vac-bag and circulator ? if you do both , are you using the oven due to the size of the meat ? very interested to learn what an oven ' SV ' for a large roast does . after all , My A.O. v 1 is still in the box !

@TdeV if you are using steam as your heat transfer medium , Id let the CR thaw in the refrigerator first. heat transfer w steam @ those temps is much less efficient over water ( vac-bagged ) as a heat transfer medium. and the times // temps you mentioned earlier for AO steam SV might get you a roast that has some chew left in it which might be fine , sliced thinly. good luck

F.S.

@KennethT are those chillies ' heirloom ' or hybrid ?

@TdeV no idea. well , I do have an idea . just one that doesn't make Anova look good. Proof will be on your plate. thank you for the pics .

@TdeV I have no answer to you question . nothing should dry out @ 100 % steam. one thing Id consider : how are you placing the meat in the AO ? on a plate ? on a rack on a plate ? how does the heat circulate on the bottom of the meat ? where do the Jus from the meat ( as it contracts ) go ? I looked rather down that thread , and the meat sliced by some did look very good.

@TdeV please take some pics before and after ! as I see the Rx , the AOven is @ 100 % humidity ? wont dry out if this is the case. I have not used my AO just yet , so do not know its peculiarities . id make sure the water reservoir does not dry out. the rub has nothing to do w dryness . it's for flavor. and easy rub would be salt / freshly ground black pepper , then maybe granulated garlic and granulated onion or powder for the last two. N.B. have you used the AO @ 100 % humidity for this long ? thinking both the reservoir and drainage . best of luck ! Pics always appreciated , the more the better. bon appetite !

I agree w both of you. getting outside , for me , is not as easy as it once was. MC the cat , etc. the IDS keeps me ' Thinking Smoke ' that's it.

things like this exist because the internet is fueled for licks. Even clicks @ eG. Imagine an Internet w a click tariff : 1 cent / click ? 4 cents / click ?

rather than start a new thread ( unusual ) Ill post here : on the ladyfinger thread , a Goya cookie was recomended. I finally remembered to go down the ( extensive ) Goya isle @ MarketBasket , a local family owned chain I got these to try : they are not Goya , but from Brazil ( There is a Brazilian community in the area ) they are not sweet , and the milk flavor is a tiny bit burnt they remind me of cookies from way back when : like animal cookies , but not as sweet. Im going to study that Goya isle more closely .

@JoNorvelleWalker I agree re: IDS. far from perfect , but can be worked with. poor @gfweb he will be ' Tossing and Turning ... All Night Long ' for quite some time. at least until the next sale.

Prime Day is not what it used to be. Back then the discounts were good ones , designed to boost traffic at the site thus seriously boosting AMZN's stock price. and then the Swells cashed in their Options. These days , mostly to clear away junk. think back to the deals on hot items , like the iPots. year in and year out for a few years.

@gfweb 1) buy it . 2) park it . 3) wait for it. 4) sleep much better. QED I did.

Lets remember : the IDS is not perfect. but can be worked with and , if iin-door is meaningfull its the right deal. when one works with is , and the rest , is well woth what you get.

@gfweb Wrong thinking. 1 ) pull the trigger now. as its a very good deal , will not be repeated any time soon 2) Let The Box , as it did to me , Speak To You , later. 3) done. No Jibber-Jabber . Fiddle-Faddle , just Done.
