[Amazon.ca] HOT - Chefman Electric Knife - $14.99, Sous Vide - $49.99

Deal Link:: https://www.amazon.ca/s?i=merchant-item ... Q1WTGCTBG2
Retailer:: Amazon Canada

Some pretty hot deals from the Chefman storefront on Amazon. There was a Vacuum Sealer for $20 but it sold out within seconds of me posting that deal here, so I'd hurry.

I have the sous vide circulator and it's fine and has worked for a year or more. There's a BT/Wifi version for $70.

Did you receive the sealer? My delivery date was the day before yesterday, but it keeps getting pushed.

I have no idea of the quality of it, as I don't have any Chefman products currently. I will say that is a really good price for a slow cooker of that size.

Picked up the sous-vide! Can't wait to stop screwing up expensive steaks anymore.

I don't fail, I succeed at finding what doesn't work

Price went up. It was $19.99 when I posted it. A bunch of prices have changed. The Bluetooth version of the sous vide was $69.99

Although some types of plastic have been found to release undesirable chemicals into food, especially under high heat or acidic conditions, the bags that people use for sous vide cooking are not among those plastics.

While sous vide is definitely one of the ways to get steaks right. You can get better results doing the reverse sear in an oven. The best tool to nail the reverse sear is to buy a meat thermometer (which will also be practical for cooking many other proteins).

I know this is somewhat off topic but I cook steak fairly regularly and the best result for me has been:
-rub steak with fish sauce
-leave uncovered in fridge overnight (or for as long as you can if you didn't plan ahead)
-roast in oven at 200F for 40 min (I use a Breville Smart Oven Mini)
-sear on a screaming hot cast iron pan

I get a beautiful crust that's crisp and flavorful every time.

I use my sous vide circulator exclusively for long cooks or if I'm cooking a protein straight out of the freezer.

interesting! I've gone away from SV for steaks for some time now and reverse sear mostly too. Texture and taste better than SV, plus the fat renders way nicer.

No I just ordered it a few hrs ago because OP said it was OOS, so I figured it's probably a good deal lol

I am the OP. Are you saying it came back in stock a few hours ago?

I just bought some well marbled wagyu steaks, very tempted to try this method. I can finish them off on the bbq and still get a good result instead of cast iron right?
