Yesterday I experimented with sous vide using only ordinary kitchen tools. In this case I used: Electric water boiler Large pot 3 ceramic salad plates (heat sinks and weights) Thermometer Stove I started with some prepackaged Korean style chuck steak, which came sealed in a heavy plastic. This was cut into stew sized pieces and had been marinaded in sesame oil, soy sauce, ginger, and some rice vinegar (usual stuff).

Here are some random thoughts:

This is tricky. My friends from Poland has friends from the old country in last night so I volunteered to make something very American and of course chose the ribeye. (It was Independence Day!) Well it turns out that in Poland everybody eats their meat well done. I think well done on a perfectly good steak is somewhat of a crime but if that's what people want, that's what I'll do. I didn't want my steak like that, which is always a little tricky. This required some mental tap dancing to get right. So here's how I did it.
