PolyScience- Sous Vide

THANK YOU POLYSCIENCE! THANK YOU FACEBOOK FRIENDS!

Due to my wonderful facebook friends, I was chosen as the winner of a PolyScience Sous Vide Immersion Circulator.

7306C Thermal Circulator - The Standard for Sous Vide Cooking Exceptional control of liquid heating to within 0.09F (0.05C) Three preset buttons make the selection of frequently used cooking temperatures fast and fool-proof One-touch control enables you to quickly set or adjust cooking temperature Controls liquid heating up to 300F (150C) Easily selectable high and low pump speeds provides precise control over cooking liquid circulation High-grade stainless steel heating coil and pump ensure lasting, trouble-free performance

For my non culinary friends, it is a really fancy tool for my kitchen that makes me VERRRRRRRY HAPPPPPPY!
Polyscience was nice enough to make one for me as a result of their recent facebook contest and it is the perfect complement to my Smoking Gun, which I love too. When the box arrived, I couldn't wait to open it.

The contents seemed incredibly technical and fancy and I understood why this is a professional grade appliance. The certifications, testing results and details were quite impressive. In fact, I felt it was necessary to read the instruction manual cover to cover. I didn't want to break this fancy new equipment the first day.

The water heated faster than I expected, the machine wasn't too loud and the circulator moved the water at two different speeds. I was glad I read the manual because it was set on C instead of F. Once I got that set, I was ready to roll.

So, on the second day, I made my first creation---a poached egg in the shell. It was the most beautiful poached egg I've ever made. It was perfect! I can't wait to have a brunch party and cook 20 of these at one time.

We enjoyed brunch for dinner that night- Croissants with fried ham, sauteed mushrooms and other assorted veggies topped with a slow poached egg. All I can say is YUM!

I can't wait until I work on my next masterpiece! Perhaps ribs or duck...who knows? Whatever it is, it will be a fun experiment and has stepped my skills up a few levels.

I'll keep you posted on the results
