Mind your if the Mrs cooks a mean steak , that is perfect in itself! Look at the below and this is what to expect Rare on the sous vide is left, on the right is the pan only method (I think these are a fillet mind but the principle is the same, sous vide all the flavour and even texture Well I'll never know Justin as the temp unit turned out to be faulty so it has just been boxed up and returned to the supplier who have promised to get me a new one out tomorrow! If that fails the potato test then they have promised a full refund by return. Not a good start, not good at all.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brinkman Posted September 10, 2018 Author Share Posted September 10, 2018 I would like this opportunity to thank my wife for being so understanding! She stepped into the breach and cooked a splendid steak in the good old fashioned way! A cast iron skillet with a nob of butter, salt and pepper, it was delicious, utterly delicious as were the potatoes and side salad. I'd also like to thank the French who grew, trod and did all the other things they do to create a very fine Malbec which was consumed toot suite. Not as fine as an Argentinian Malbec I have quite a few of in the cellar, but they only come out to celebrate the Liberation of the Falklands once a year, every year without fail and will continue to do so until the day I pass. ??♂️ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll give one another go but if that does not work as it should then I'll go for the wand.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Icefever Posted September 11, 2018 Share Posted September 11, 2018 All the best with the new unit matey...is this the correct forum?? should it not be in the reviews part?? just my 2 cents. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justin Posted September 11, 2018 Share Posted September 11, 2018 good point, though if it is beef test on the replacement unit?. Maybe move it review forum if the replacement works or not? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Icefever Posted September 11, 2018 Share Posted September 11, 2018 I think if it's about the cooking of the beef it should be in this forum as the original post was so. If it's about the new unit then it should be in the review forum....or you could do two posts, one here and one in the review section to keep it in the forum etiquette. Just my 2 cents.
