I tried out the Anova Precision Cooker yesterday, for the first time, and used some good 1 1/2" thick Choice ribeyes from Sam's. Prep was simple: Sprinkle with Jim Baldridge's Secret Seasoning, and into the FoodSaver bags. Water temp was set to 129°, for 2 1/2 hours. The Anova got up to temp pretty quick, and the WiFi control was great!
After the bath, the steaks got patted dry, and onto the Weber gasser for a sear. I coated them in olive oil, and also used a torch while they were on the grill (to get the edges, and speed the process). The sear took 4 minutes total!
Results? Fantastic! I was amazed at the texture, and taste! When I took the steaks out of the bag (before searing), there was only about 1 Tbs. of juice in the bag, the the rest was still in the steak! Very impressed, and will be incorporating this new tool into my smoking!
