Very tender food is highly over-rated. Gerbers anyone?

there a difference between tender and mushy. Cooking tough cuts to a tender texture is awesome because they usually have more flavour.

This is my thing. Cheap ass roast + sous vide = excellent finished product.

Hell, I made a thread about this already.

They are awesome. I make a dozen or so at a time - they reheat quite well.

Yep, we just do 30-45 seconds in the microwave.

How long do those last in the fridge?

Forever it seems because they are in mason jars.

They're vacuum sealed and pasturized, so... weeks?

Canned pickles are typical good for a year or more depending on where they are stored.

 

[Domon]

canned pickled are good for the better part of a decade

Eggs are shelf stable man, so why would they degrade? Last time we talked about this, I think you asked if they ended up like soup. I really feel that you're not grasping any of this.

Factory defaults, you aren't overriding them properly.

shelf stable in their hermetically sealed shells. Unless im missing this, you're not doing this in the shell are you?

Think this through man. Eggs are relatively shelf stable. They are then cooked and pasteurized in a sealed glass Mason jar, which is also hermetically sealed. Do you really think that would 'break down' in a matter of weeks?

They won't grow mold or anything, but eventually the proteins will denature and you'll end up with a disgusting liquid with floatey bits that's perfectly safe to eat.

i've had sous vide egg bites three weeks after i made them, and they were not that way at all. i don't know how long domon wants to keep them for but they hold up pretty well.

You just reminded me to pick up some denatured alcohol.

Thanks.
