I’m not sure the extra effort is worth the result.


I made the exact same recipe by boiling the potatoes and using a mixer instead of sous viding them. I actually liked it better made the traditional way. Unique and interesting texture doing with sous vide, but I prefer it better the old fashioned way. Either way solid list of ingredients.

PS "If you don't want garlic, don't put".

Moreover, I have only one sous vide device, so I need that for the steak, or roast or salmon, or chicken, etc.




Luckily, I have enough willpower to control the driving ambition that rages within me.

When you had the votes, we did things your way. Now, we have the votes and you will be doing things our way. This lesson in political reality from Lyndon B. Johnson

"Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible." - Justice Janice Rogers Brown

As long as you are making a meat that doesn't require a silly amount of time to cook you just turn down machine to meat temp and leave the bag in there with the meat to stay warm.

I don’t have enough room in the pot. I’m using an ordinary large pot like you might use for spaghetti or stews or something.

I like baked potatoes well enough that baking ‘em, then scooping them out and mashing is attractive.
