Raw meat will accept the smoke penetration to about 140 degrees. Cooler is better. I don't profess to know about souos vide, but I'd smoke it first, even cold smoking would work. |

You nailed it Ed. 90 minutes of smoke, then vacu-seal pack, off to sous vide for 8 hrs. I need to see if just liquid smoke will be a decent substitute. |

Then I downloaded a chart from the FDA that lists minimum time and temperature for safety. At 130F they list a 2h minimum. Someone also posted a series of photos of eggs cooked at various times and temperatures, and mine seem to come out looking closer to the ones he did at 135F than to the ones he did at 130F, and much like the ones I've purchased pre-pasteurized.

As to what the whites look like, there are areas that are just beginning to have a slightly clouded appearance. They do still whip up, but not as well as fresh eggs. |

I buy chicken breasts at Sam's Club that are vacuum packed two per pouch and I do those in the package they come in. I've also done bacon in the pouch straight from the store. I don't have the times and temps handy for those right now. Other cuts of meat like steak, I use a Seal-a-Meal to vacuum pack, cook to medium rare, then sear off quickly in a pan or with the ceramic sear burner on my grill. At one time someone here posted about doing a roast over an extended period of time. I tried that once and was not at all happy with the results. Too chewy. For that I just cook all day in a crock pot. |

As a rule I don't, and I haven't tried them sous vide, but I understand you can get a very consistent result that way. Perfect white and yolk every time. Especially handy if you're serving a number of people. (I've been told we're in the end times anyway, so what have you got to lose?) -- |

For that I just cook all day in a crock pot. By roast you mean a joint of meat? I do mine sous vide too. I've never had a problem. The last joint of beef I did came out beautifully. I made beef gravy and sliced up the joint. It is a favourite here ![]() BTW I do use my slow cooker for many things though, depending what is it ![]() -- http://www.helpforheroes.org.uk |

For this same reason, anytime I cook something with meat in my crockpot, I always turn it on high to get to that simmer, then turn it to low to cook for the day. 24 hour cooking when making chicken stock. |

Why can't you slow cook on your stove top? And if your smallest burner won't go low enough either adjust it (gas burners can be adjusted) or use a flame tamer, they're made for gas or electric. |

I wouldn't try it with a gas range though. |
