What Are You Cooking Sous Vide Today? (Part 2)

[weedy]

it's my (formerly) British sarcasm; no negative implied. at least not seriously!

 

basically it seems to be rather like a sous vide coddled egg.

I noticed that too. I washed the jars in the dishwasher last night, and they still had a thin layer of egg on them in several spots. I tried scrubbing this morning but that wasn't enough. I had to scrub, soak, scrub, soak, etc to get rid of the remaining egg.

 

Why not a disposable vessel like a plastic cup?

[weedy]

if you're sure it's 'safe' plastic

[gfweb]

Perhaps line the jar with plastic wrap and just yank the thing out

Because of the environment, you know... I am trying to avoid using disposable things whenever I can.

 

Lining the glass jar would be, I fear, more trouble than cleaning it. I think that a bit of oil, as @blue_dolphinsuggested, might solve the issue.

Whew!  So glad.

I had one of the leftovers for breakfast this AM.  I wanted to pop it out of the glass jar for quicker heating and found it much more difficult to get it out.  Also a pain to scrub the egg out of the jar so I'll repeat my recommendation to grease the jars first.  

Once out, it reheated nicely in the CSO for 6 min @ 350degF on steam bake.   

I'll try again to see if I can get a softer texture.  I used cream cheese as in the Anova recipe and will try cream or milk instead.   My result -both fresh cooked and reheated - was OK but the texture was kinda like something I'd get on a plane or maybe pick up from an airport Starbucks (surprise, surprise )

 

Have not tried yet but with all the experts here I am betting between us we can do better than "airport" food. @weedy mentioned chawanmushi so I am thinking that milk or cream or, with the appropriate fillings even dashi, one might soften the texture. May have a go myself today.

I buttered the jars I used at work the other day - still a bit of cleanup but nothing too major. I'll unpack the next one tomorrow and see how it has fared.

Chicken breasts in Stubbs brand citrus and onion marinade. 147 F for 3.25 hours, then a quick sear. Red skin mashed potatoes and a yet-to-be-named veggie. Also SVing a couple of pork loin chops for a future meal for just my DW and me.

 

ETA: Oops. Can't make mashed potatoes without potatoes. Seasoned brown rice will stand in for the potatoes.

A while back I had ten chicken thighs to deal with, so I ate two and bagged up eight and pasteurized them.  Tonight I am preparing to serve the first of the eight thighs and I noticed there was little or no osmosome in the bag.  I attribute this to pasteurizing at 57 deg C (per Baldwin) rather than at the higher temperatures I have used before.  If the juice is not in the bag I assume the juice is in the chicken.

 

We shall see how this turns out.

Osmosome?

The odd, dark meaty juice that appears in the bag when sous-viding meat.  It isn't the light golden or dark golden color one would get if, say, roasting or poaching.

Was going to ask the same thing as @FrogPrincesse asked, above. Google failed me. I have learned something new today. It is a successful day.

[gfweb]

Something about "osmosome" sounds like a re-use of an archaic term. But I can't find anything on google.

[Porthos]

"osmosome"  I found an entry from a book published in the UK in 1841 that, as best as I can tell, does refer to the juices from meat.

[JoNorvelleWalker]

I confess I first picked the term up from the prose of @Kerry Beal but google has usage back to at least 1841.  There is however no entry for "osmosome" in my copy of the O.E.D.  If one combines "osomo" with "some" it makes more sense.

 

Oddly blood and lymph and possibly other juices are pouring out of my left arm at the moment.

Regarding osmazome, check out the voluminous original SV thread... lots and lots and lots of mentions of osmazome (this is how it was spelled in lots of posts)

No shortage of wine here, though my MR was last night.  When I posted I was wearing a crimson colored flannel shirt and sitting at the computer in a crimson colored chair, so all is good.  I have a medical condition that I tend to leak a good amount of osmosome, mainly from my legs.  Not all the time but about three cups a day last time I measured.  Might make a tasty stock.

 

[JoNorvelleWalker]

Actually the pasteurized chicken came out pretty good.  I tried something new.  I cooked the chicken thigh in the CSO for an hour on steam bake at 300 deg F, as specified in the CSO manual.

 

Though I do think broiling or steam baking at higher temperature is preferable.  Ideally I'd like to have the shatteringly crisp skin I can get with steam baked raw chicken in the CSO from chicken I have pasteurized sous vide.

 

[rotuts]

I was + / - on chicken thighs  ......

 

until I cooked them in the CSB.    the finest crispy Ck Sk Ive ever had !

[JoNorvelleWalker]

According to the O.E.D the prefix "osmo" means flavorful.  The suffix "some" can mean body.  "Flavorful body" sounds reasonable.  Maybe stretch that to "flavorful substance".

Attempting Eggbites this morning.  Eggs, diced orange peppers and manchego, into the bath at 170f.   First one in popped immediately and I had tempered the jars briefly before immersing.   Had this happen when I made creme brûlée which is why I tempered.   While the fresh water reheated I tempered the remaining 3 longer.   Pretty sure I didn't over tighten the lids but the last three were barely finger tip tight.  So breakfast will be a little later

Hmmm. Did nothing to allay my fears.
