SousVide Supreme: Anyone have one?

if i had the money to spare, i'd do it. that looks cool as hell and i've always been interested in sous-vide cooking, just never had the courage to make my own machine or use thermometers.
 
I dont know this product but I know sous-vide and its well worth it.

Ribeye - shaved white truffles - salt in the bag cook then mark off on a grill. You will never look back. Infact thats the opposite. You will always look back on that steak.
 
For sous vide cooking, is it really worth using fresh truffle? Use some decent truffle oil in the bag and go. I wouldn't spend the money on fresh white truffles for that.

OP, I don't own this machine. It depends on how much you want the convenience. Google the beer cooler method of sous vide and see if that's worth the extra time/effort for you and go from there. If $350 seems like a bargain, then go for it. For $350, how much capacity does it have, though? Sous vide cooking would probably happen for special occasions - generally more than just you and an SO. Can you feed extended family or a party crowd with it?
 
I was about to pull the trigger til I noticed this wasn't the bigger Supreme model but the smaller Demi. :\ So it's not the bargain I thought it was. Demi would make a good second unit but it's too small to use as primary unit.

If you would suggest using truffle oil in any application you need to stop sous vide cooking, stop regular cooking, stop eating in quality restaurants, stop eating fast food and get 100% of your nutrition from dumpster diving. If would only help your taste.

Truffle oil?!?!?! Seriously?!?!?!

Wanna be foodies are irritating at times. sjwaste is correct for sous vide cooking due to the length of time you are cooking for. Using fresh truffle will add a little bitterness and isn't worth the additional cost.

The Chef has spoken.
So, let it be written.

Even in my ultimate extravaganza ludicrously over-equipped dream kitchen, I don't think I'd have a back up sous vide machine.

And self-appointed expert foodies who comment without understanding anything are even worse. The issue is not that real truffles add bitterness, it's that anyone with a single shred of knowledge about food won't use truffle oil at all under any circumstances. If real truffle isn't right for the dish due to cooking time then simply don't use truffle. Truffle oil isn't a replacement for truffle any more than motor oil is.

Tell me, which culinary school did you attend?
 
I've got 3 bottles of truffle oil in my cabinet. they were free, though.

I will probably dribble a wee bit on my pork chops tonight. ....or maybe not.

What the fuck are you talking about? Not all truffle oil is canola and artificial flavoring ("truffle aroma"). There are some fantastic products on the market consisting only of light olive or grapeseed oil and white truffle.

Apparently this is a shred of knowledge that you missed.

Thanks. I didn't think I was entirely out of line.

I tend to think fresh truffle is best for applications where it doesn't cook, other than the residual heat coming off the food when you shave it on. I don't cook for a living, but I'd like to think I respect my ingredients.
