Has anyone sous vide beef cap/deckle?

[rs242]

Thanks, my plan is to do short ribs 131/72 and then smoke for 2-3 hrs for 2nd day y"t lunch and put a hanger steak in before shabbos for 8hrs and use for 2nd day y"t dinner.

I’m thinking of doing this but 72 hours sounds like a lot. I was thinking 36- 48 hours? (Anyway wanted it for Saturday night so my only choice is 48 hours. What temp should I go with and will 48 hours be enough time? Any input would be helpful

All depends on the texture you like
I like braised like texture and found that the fat renders much better at higher temperature
I do 24 hrs at 155 and smoke it for 1 hour and comes out amazing

If I sous vide fish (using a machine which wasn't used for meat in a few months), would there be a problem having Milchig with the fish?

Another SV newbie here. What would I do with a 2 lb 2nd cut brisket? If I want it for Rosh hashana can I start cooking before Shabbos and turn off after?

Should we be concerned with plastic leeching into the food? Even if it is food safe

not if you are using BPA free bags which i believe is now required by law.

u can search the kosher sous vide group on instagram, seems like 4 hours at 130 is good too. https://www.facebook.com/groups/394314944245498/search/?query=oyster%20steak&epa=SEARCH_BOX

Oyster is a waste of time to sous vide.   It's a small steak.  Grilled it for like 2-3 minutes a side on high and let rest.  It will be perfect.

Do sous vides get ruined in Israel because of the water? Is there that mineral build up inside it?

Thanks

Not sure about your question, but perhaps a Brita filter water pitcher could solve the problem if there is one, though extremely inconvenient, considering volume and starting temp. Also make sure you use with the right plug or a proper converter.

The concern is there will be a mineral build up on the coils inside the Anova when using tap water.

put vinegar in a pot and let it set the machine as high as it goes

i got that . Meant unsure if the concern is valid as it pertains to a sous vide . Aware that the water can have an effect on hair and cause kidney stones to those sensitive .

I haven't had a problem, though admittedly we don't use it that much

[yoruel]

Any suggestions which sous vide I should purchase?
1st time getting one.
