I have the feeling they are the RealDeal. why go to so much trouble for something so middle of the road ?

JV breakfast sausage are completely insipid. no pork flavor at all. designed , on the other hand , to be very cheap.

not a great pic . no browning. the steak did not end up as a ' dinner . so did not get its final touches. one day in its original butcher paper , after the first photo to see what I was dealing with. then RB40 on each side. personally I choose to consider exogenous NaCL so I though 3 - 4 drops each side. it was a bit more , just enough to ' fairly coat ' each side w not puddles. as you know RB40 is fairly funky. then back into the same butcher paper , and into the refrig for another 24 hours. unwrapped and vacuum bagged. most of the RB40 absorbed. damp , not wet. not patted dry. still some funky aromas but moving more towards aged meat. waterbath , 130 for 6 hours. see above. no fishy flavors at all. moving towards that aged beef flavor. not fork tender . not a hint of mushy-ness. not overly salty. Im sure this pice of meat would have improved a bit for tenderness at 8 h if not 10. and re: saltiness it could have stood up to a more RB40 , and even maybe then 48 Hr in the refrig prior to SV just a guess remember this is choice and this cut is relatively tough. my conclusions : a little redboat40 does indeed add aged flavor , and all the fishy-ness is gone. I can't say what the optimal amount would be , or how long one might refrigerate the meat w the RB40 prior to SV but its the way Im going to do meat from now on. sliced thin , and at room yep this will make a very find couple of RB sandwiches. so a success. if this cut goes on sale again , Ill to 8 - 10 and might do 48 in the refrig warped after the RN40. your thoughts on the best way to add RB40 to a thick steak prior to SV ? remember this was 1 3/4 thick and not Prime.

A ) pork is pork B ) P.Loin in SV'dish thinking is a fairly tough, on the eG tenderness scale Id think 130.1 for the right bit of time might fix that. granted still a bit5 flavor-less Fresh Porkey Herbs ? maybe
-
I agree I set it at 130. Im hoping the RedBoat 40 will zoo a lot of discouraging to the Locals. however , if something can survive 24h in the surface with RB40 and then 6 H at 130 F its going to be pretty nasty !

@Doofa Id love to read more about your Gyuto and see some pics . where did you get it ? I have two smaller Nakkiri's coming from Watanabe. I hesitated for a long as I could. but the two I have are such a delight I got these two . I tend to use a smaller knife than I should , I can't say why the right knife is right next to the one I tend to use. these two are someware in the NYC area over the weekend , and I expect to get them sometime mid-next week. I also took EdgePros advice and got a new 1000 grit stone and a 2300 polishing stone ( not a tape ) just for these knives. I know I won't regret it Ill just Toss and Turn All Night for a while. the knives these replace will find good homes Ill make sure.

@HungryChris cutting that round thin is going to be key looking forward to seeing your results
-
@Anna N just take your pork to the pasteurization point , w a given tamp , and you will be fine. try 130.1 f or 54.5 N. of the Border. I have a temptable !
-
@HungryChris nice ! hopefully w some mortadella ?
-
@kayb esp. when you ' Home-Age ' the brie ( or camembert ) I get either from TJ;s but only if ' ooze ' then unwrap and place on a dish in a cupboard ' for a few days ' to develop try that only if you really like B or C as they were meant to be.

Amazon is going to revolutionize WF, it will take them some time , as they like to tinker and see what happens. the NYTimes article also hinted that Amazon Prime members may be further discounts or etc at WF. Amazon really does want $ 100 from everybody , no matter what.
-
OK I might cut back but this is choice , not prime. maybe 6 h , and easy timing etc

today in the WSJ there was an article in the business section on Clean Meat ; Cargill takes a Stab on ' Clean Meat ' you can find it here : clean meat odd Id say. why not an amino-acid Smoothie w Kale no one else wants any more ? a pound of this " meat ' now costs $ 2,400 . however , it used to cost $ 18,000. clearly a bargain these days ! this ' meat ' " can be made into meatballs , Burger Patties , ands chicken strips " no mention that I could see on taste "" 1/3d of respondents in the US [ 673 total asked ] would be willing to eat cell-cultured meat regularly " "" nearly 1/2 said they would choose it over soy-based meat substitutes " "" about 1/5th said they were unlikely to try the meat or would refuse it "" Odd Note : no one has even tried it ! [ one more time ]

Ill let you know ' Strip steaks ' are a sort of basket where all sorts of cuts can be sold as. Ive had very good results w Baldwin's recommendations. this is not a cut I look for , but it was Talking to Me from the higher end real butcher counter. Im hoping the RedBoat40 technique , which Ive yet to try , will give it a sort of aged taste. someone needed a Treat. for Science , or course ! it was after all , on sale . not about to expire in the general packaged meat section on sale. this place has better than average meat , both in the packaged section they package their ' meat cuts ' in that section. Beef and pork not chicken. that seems to come these days pack at a central but fairly local Chicken Spot for obvious reasons. nobody at this store or any store w butchers cutting meat from primals touches chicken. anyway , an interesting project for me and Im looking forward to it.
-
I think this cut is much tougher , although still nice to look at , than ribeye maybe 8 h after a 24 hour RB40 in the refrig.

this is a Kansas City Sirloin Stirp : its choice and the best marbling I could find. 1 3/4 " thick , 1.25 lbs. on sale , of course I plan to SV it tomorrow. Im guessing I should lightly salt it and place it on a very clean rack in the coldest part of the refit for 24. Id like it rare SV , then a very quick sear Badlwin suggests : med-rare 130 F 8 - 12. I might even live in the DangerZone and do 128 F after the salt and pat dry then bag for 12. your thoughts ? I might also do , instead of the plain salt , a drop or two of RedBoat 40 evenly smeared on each side . I know this cut , ' Choice ' Looks Better than it Eats.

this is a very large producer , therefore their sausage is a middle of the road sausage. its a profitable place to be. That's their goal. its not going to be distinctive , but it would be really offensive. if you can get just a couple of the brats , that would be the way to go. the package looks large , so if you are disappointed at a high price point ..... sausages are pretty much a personal item in terms of taste. a soft bun w yellow or german grained mustard and chopped raw onions always helps.

@Shelby I like frog's legs. I wouldn't walk a mile for them maybe 1/2 mile If they were cooked just like Shelby cooked hers OK a mile would be OK if there were some calamari on the plate too.

@Dave the Cook I don't think that ARRN is the best model for deliver kits to cook yourself they seem to haver possible internal business issues : just now : granted the price pot the stock might have very little to do this the Business itself: Like Coffee ? consider this book , hopefully from your local library : https://www.amazon.com/Grande-Expectations-Year-Starbucks-Stock/dp/0307339726

Ice Cold ?
-
@Anna N now you're talking ! hopefully from a decent sized Carafe !
-
try one @ 130.1 for an additional hour ? maybe ever 2 more H's chill and cut very thin for a sandwich ? etc ?
-
was it "" fork-tender "" after 3 H's ? I know you can get it that way if you are careful. as zoo as i get 2 - 3 shelves " free " on FA Ill look into some loins for the winter.
-
@Shelby is that a Loin or a tenderloin ? looks delicious what were your Sv parameters ? i like Loin rare , but w enough time in the bath to get tender. your top pic looks perfect then did you torch the meat for pic II ?
