Review on 🍲 Strata Home Collection Monoprice Sous Vide Immersion Cooker 800W - Adjustable Clamp, Digital LED Touch Screen, Easy to Clean - Black/Silver by Uriel Arocha

I've been a culinary student all my life, which means I love food. Sous vide was a method I could never afford given the expensive food bath fixtures of the past. Now, with the advent of these immersion cookers with electronic displays and digital temperature control, I've decided to add this tool to my kitchen. After watching the Monoprice video and speaking to a foodie friend, I purchased this Monoprice model during the occasional sale. Wireless temperature monitoring or a built-in video camera to monitor cooking are not priorities. I used a small cooler, pressed a dip plate against a corner and filled it with filtered water. Since I didn't have a vacuum sealer, I simply placed a regular seasoned porterhouse in a ziplock plastic bag and sucked out the air with a straw. Voila, vacuum bag so the meat adheres to the bag and is fully submerged in contact with the 130F circulating water. I partially covered the fridge with a foam tray containing a steak. After 45 minutes the steak was ready and I quickly seared both sides in a cast iron skillet for 2 minutes. My wife and daughter said it was the most tender steak they have ever had. . Remember they had a filet in Porterhouse. I had a strip steak and also said it was the most tender strip steak I have ever eaten. I go from zero to hero. Wait for them to taste my eggs and other delicate foods.
