Finally! Broke down & decided to get Sous Vide to cook steaks. Found an elcheapo unit at Amazon, along with a container for the water. It's also a smart unit that can be programmed online through your smart phone for use with tempting recipes online!!

You know, I just watched a Cook Country episode where they did a prime rib. They prepped the meat the way I do (separate the bones, salt it and age it in the fridge), but then they seared it, then sous vided it for a minimum of 16 hours, rested, THEN under the broiler for about 5 minutes.

Sheesh! Definitely more work than my oven-roasted rib.

Now, when they sliced it, it was pink/red all the way through. I gotta say that I love my slices which are more well-done on the very edges and pink/red in the middle. I love the contrast and having both.

That said, if I could ever find more space, I might get a sous vide to play with someday. Just not with prime rib. :giggle:

I had 3 sous vide thingies. First I got the Sous Vide Supreme. That was a gift for my 60th birthday 8 years ago. Then a couple years later I added an Anova Precision Cooker, aka the sous vide “stick” circulator. Then last year I got the Anova Precision Oven, which does sous vide with steam instead of a water bath.

it was all taking too much space, so I shipped the SVS to my nephew, who just had a new baby. He graduated from Johnson and Wales, and is an excellent cook, but it was all out of his budget right now. So, I’m down to 2. I don’t even think about it any more. At least half of the proteins I cook go into the sous vide. It’s a great tool to have in your tool box.

Lee - I had to do a big standing rib for family. I did it in the oven at 250 and used the temp probe for Medium rare. Basically BBQ without the smoke. It was the most uniformly cooked roast.
