First ever Sous Vide cook: A beautiful piece of Atlantic salmon I picked up at Aldi's this week. Seasoning was very simple: salt, pepper, dill. 115°F / 30 min, quick sear in a screaming hot cast iron pan to finish.

PERFECTION!

I also air fried some brussels sprouts, tossed in olive oil, salt, and pepper before cooking. Chili oil after.

Well I decided to go with the salmon despite it being second place because I recently had steak. Just started it. This cooker is really slick and simple to use. If you use one of the recipes in their app, you just click "cook this recipe" and it sets the circulator for the correct temperature and time.

Sous Vide setup arrives tomorrow!
What should I make first?

^ Re-up. I wonder if many people who voted don't know what onsen tamago is? It's the Japanese hot spring egg which has a very special custardy texture.

I also am interested in finding complete meals I can cook together in one immersion bath. At least a protein and one side would be nice if they can work at the same temperature.

You thought German folk tales were creepy, try this German art song by Franz Schubert:

That may be the longest thread I've ever posted. I was half expecting to get rate-limited. 😂

In my humble opinion, THIS is the war-horse that should be sung by choirs during Advent; not the Hallelujah Chorus, which has nothing to do with the season.

Besides, Mendelssohn writes better for choirs.

With all respect to King's Cambridge, this non-professional choir from Bethlehem, PA just flat out does this classic arrangement better.

I've always loved this particular setting of this text, in the way that it conveys the "mystery".
