Thank you! Finally in the CSO club (I foolishly missed the ultra low prices on Amazon a few weeks ago)

 You are welcome.    If I didn't already have a back up I'd be buying one.

[Hassouni]

Lucky you. We urban 1-bedroom apartment dwellers can barely fit one, let alone a backup!

Welcome to the Dark Side. I'm seriously contemplating ordering a backup, as I seem to be one of the few club members without one (or more).

 

I'd wait for the new anova oven

[Hassouni]

Well bloody hell, it's out of stock at Caynes

Stupid question:  can I keep grilled fish warm in the CSO?    Like an hour?  

 

Am thinking I'd slightly undercook it first.    

 

Am I flirting with disaster?    And overcooked fish?

Yes and yes. 

[rotuts]

I tried to be polite and not answer

 

AnnaN stepped in and politely replied.

 

I can't imagine the aromas from a 1 hour very warm  fish.

 

but id bet  your toast in the morning might be quite

Thanks, Anna and roruts.    An honest answer is always appropriate and appreciated.

I've actually reheated fish in the CSO fairly successfully -- but even so I can't imagine grilled fish in particular would do well in that moist environment. It would probably be warm, and you could probably manage to not overcook it, but it would lose a lot of the texture you'd get from the grill in the process.

[Margaret Pilgrim]

Thanks.    The reason I questioned this is that I always precook scallops, prawns and chunks of white fish (halibut, monk) when making a "big fish soup".    I stop cooking when they are seared but undercooked, then remove them to a covered ceramic casserole which I leave on the stovetop until serving...the fish added to the broth a couple of minutes before plating.     This has worked a charm with guests asking how the fish was so perfectly cooked.    When I noticed the CSO "warm" setting and temps a low as 125F, I thought maybe I had an alternative method.     But afraid not.  

[dtremit]

Actually, if you're going to put them into broth afterwards anyway, it might work just fine. I was imagining grill seared fish with skin that needed to stay crispy or something similar.

 

(That said -- it sounds like you have a method that works great already!)

 My kitchen is really small.  I barely have room for the first one.   The spare is kept in its box on one of the shelves

we store the maple for our charcuterie boards.

Tempted.  Very sorry I didn't click when it was $99.  Somehow I had believed anova.

I truly think they did.

Amazon no longer lists the steam oven.

 

Maybe they are coming out with a new and improved model?

I had to go look and see for myself.  You are right.
