the best food related purchase I've ever made was a sous vide circulator back in 2017 on a cyber monday sale

makes meat prep infinitely easier compared to other methods, with predictable high quality results every damn time

i could never, ever go back

(came to mind since I just tossed some cheap pork chops into the water for dinner)

@Chel Definitely something I'd like to lay my paws on when I've got kitchen space once more. ^_^ I'd enjoy the experimental side, I think, seeing how different meats and fish turn out at various temperatures and durations.

I wonder how really good Iberico pork would turn out.. =:9 I've ordered that a few times from the delivery service I use, and it's gorgeous stuff - like the usual kind, just /moreso/.

@porsupah it's pretty useful from a space perspective - just need a plastic tub for the water, and a decent skillet for finishing the meat off with a sear

my current apartment has a really small kitchen, so its been really useful from that perspective

I've actually been meaning to give iberico pork a try! Scarly and I are heavily budgeting our groceries this year though, in preparation for moving in early 2020, so it might have to wait a few moments, though ;_;
