My first foray into Sous Vide cooking.   Just got an Anova Precision Wifi.   Cooking   Costco Choice Strip steaks.   Going to finish them off on my grill after they're done in the Sous Vide bath.

Finished steak.   I prefer the reverse sear slow smoke method over sous vide for steaks.   While it's a little more tender, it lacks the smokey flavor I love. 

Next I'm trying chicken breasts.

I buy a lot of Choice steak from Aldi, and it always turns out great.  I like the racks you're using in the bath.

Yeah, they're the Lipavi racks I bought from Amazon.

How did you end up finishing the ribs?

On the grill with some sauce.

The ribs were good, but I think think the sous vide renders out a bit to much of the inter muscular fat. Of course more research is required.

Maybe a slow smoke then a much shorter sous vide finish.

I tried to smoke some spare ribs on Friday but my Traeger is still tripping the GFI breaker every time I use it. That time, it started working rather than tripping immediately so I believed I was under way. When a banged up Claire was dropped off by a neighbor after tripping and falling on a trail run, I realized that the Traeger was off and the GFI was tripped. I put the cold ribs back in the fridge.

Today was my first chance to attempt to smoke them again and I could not locate a cheater plug to see if taking the ground out of the equation would work. So I decided to get audiophile on this MF. First, I tried an unused Richard Gray Audio Power Pig to see if it could deal with the issue. That seemed to work but after a few minutes the GFI popped. The next level was remembering that I have a Nirvana Audio Analogue Source power cord that does not have a ground connection. I plugged that in to power the Power Pig and viola! No tripping of the GFI. Good thing I never sell any of this shit.

Claire ultimately found a cheater plug so I'm going to try that as a much simpler solution. Beyond that, I'm going to figure out why the Traeger has a ground fault when I'm not trying to cook something. :/
