I don't like mushy food.

In the vernacular of Johnny Numbers: "It didn't suck".

 

 

Threw some NZ lamb shoulder in the vizzler last night with a bit of tomato chili, coconut gravy. Now to check on the rice

Me no likey mushy meat either. I haven't had anything from the MC at Home book turn out poorly though, so I am curious...

[deepak]

every meat i've ever eaten that has had a prolonged sous vide bath has been mushy.  i don't like mushy meat.  even pork belly should have spring and texture to it, despite being soft.  i'm really glad that there has been a push back against mushy at restaurants, lately.

I had some mush issues when I first starting sous-viding. IMO one of the things over looked to get good texture is getting a nice tight vacuum seal on the bag.

Fuck yeah, motherfucker.

We did Thomas Keller's fried chicken and the Modernist Cuisine take on Mac and Cheese (hurray for sodium citrate!) for Christmas dinner. Baking the cheese/sodium citrate/tapioca starch cracker to make the topping turned out to be more time-consuming than making the actual casserole. Oh, and we did biscuits. And there were pies involved.

 

None of it survived, and I don't think I took any pix. WTF is wrong with me?

[jvlgato]

Sounds great ... I'd love to seen pics! I guess it never happened ...

Yum.  My Sodium Citrate should arrive tomorrow.

28 degrees outside. Grilling a filet for Debbie and a porterhouse for me. For the side, it's garlic Hasselback potatoes with herbed sour cream. Happy New Year Casers!
