I was spinning on Hacker News the other day and saw this post, http://www.seriouseats.com/2010/04/cook-your-meat-in-a-beer-cooler-the-worlds-best-sous-vide-hack.html. I read it and was impressed. That is something I should totally do! So the other day I did.
It turned out well. The meat I bought was inexpensive and tasted all right. Next time I am going to buy some actual steaks and do this first, http://steamykitchen.com/163-how-to-turn-cheap-choice-steaks-into-gucci-prime-steaks.html. Then I will sear them, and do the sous-vide thingy. After that I am going to put them on the grill for some nice grill marks. :)
Today, my wife was at the store and bought me some salmon. She suggested I try the cooler technique on the fish. She bought some salmon grill seasoning. I put that on the fish, put em in the ziplock. Sealed it up. And thirty minutes later pulled it out. I put it on some foil and stuck it in the oven on broil for a minute. Then pulled it out and enjoyed. It was very good. Much tastier than the beef. Now go, cook with a cooler.
