Has anybody used cooked food via the Sous-vide method?

If you don't know, the basic principle is you put your food in a sealed bag, and then submerge it in water that is at the final temperature you want your food to be. So if you pull your steaks off the grill at 133f, then you cook in 133f water. That way it's impossible to cook them too long.

I cooked a steak via this method once with a friend, and it was okay. I like the idea, but feel I would need practice. Does anybody swear by it? At $150 the machine isn't free. I'd also want to buy a vacuum sealer.

We've talked about it in Wagrubs. Pull the meat a little early then toss it on the grill to get the proper finish.

WTF? Who cares about stupid statistics like those? Do we get a reward for winning?

I'm the one asking the question. I don't have answers.

Are food-saver bags better than zip-lock bags? Are freezer-bags better than regular zip-lock bags? Are they BPA free like my Nalgene bottle wasn't?

Will we be leeching plastic into our food by using Sous-vide? No fucking clue.

I'll bite....

It seems you haven't read any of the links you posted if you think you grill it to 133 degrees, and then sous vide.

Maybe don't get cooking techniques off of Wikipedia.

Go to Serious Eats, and search Sous Vide. You'll find everything you need, including which product works better.

You also could have searched Sous Vide here & found a lot of info, as recently as last week.

Will anyone debate the heated food/plastic contact aspect with me? It turns me off, cold.

Sorry I guess I used the wrong word. Then/Than.

If you would normally cook a steak until 133 degrees on the grill, use that as a baseline.
Cook your steak in 133 degrees water. Afterwards, grill it on super-hot for a couple seconds to sear the outside.

It looks pretty alive and well to me.

General request: Please post in the correct section of the forum, not the section where you think it will get the most views. Thank you.

Almost.

If you wanted finishing temp to be 133, would cook it to, say 123-125 degrees, pull it, and then pan-sear or put on very hot grill for a minute or two each side. It will sear much faster than from fridge or room temp.
