I do not but it is on my list.  I bought one for my brother for Christmas a few years ago and he constantly raves about it.

I just ordered a searing attachment for my kitchen MMAP blowtorch so that I can sear my sous vide steaks.

That may be the one gizmo that I don't have. Maybe you will do a video about it. I understand what they do, but so far I have not been tempted to buy one.

I have been tempted for several years, almost to the point of making the purchase but have not pulled the wallet out just yet.  I have seriously downsized my kitchen and food prep equipment over the past three years and am out of the habit of procuring.  I would like to be more confident about how much I would use it before making the purchase.

What are the pro's & con's?  More importantly of the two- the pro's?

@simpletruths To me the biggest pros are the way in which it can delicately cook anything -- but especially meat.  I like my steaks medium rare.  If you're grilling a steak, by the time the center hits that point (I like to stay under 133F), the outer 30-40% of your steak is well done.  With sous vide, you steak is whatever temp you want it to be -- edge to edge.  I cook mine to 130F then give them a minute on each side on top of some 700F cast iron for a great sear.

Additionally, you can hold things a temp for pretty much as long as you want.  You can't really overcooking something sous vide.  Also, you can take lesser cuts of meat and by cooking them for a really extended time, create some of the most succulent, flavorful cuts you've ever tasted.

@ketoadmin curious as to how much sear you get.  I am a rare steak guy and I usually get a fair amount of sear and caramelized fat that is absolutely the bomb! (only one exclamation mark - I'm trying to cut back).

@calgaryguy I'll take a picture next time.  I just bought a searing attachment for my kitchen MMAP blowtorch that I'll be able to try out next weekend.

Option #1:

Option #2:

And yes, I have set off the smoke alarm in my house using option #2. {yellow}:amusing:  

@ketoadmin I have a plumber's propane torch somewhere, that should work.

@ketoadmin that looks like a very serious piece of equipment

Well, I am Serious Keto... {yellow}:wink:  

Steve, remember just a few days ago when I said I wasn't tempted to buy a sous vide? Well, I got tempted and bought one. I watched a few YT vids and now I see how this can help me. I am frequently eating overcooked steak and undercooked chicken ... no more!

And yup, I went into your Amazon store first before I bought it so you can get a little commission. I actually got the same one you have in your store, but it was not really on purpose. I had read and watched some product comparisons and that is the one I wanted.

Very excited to try it out

@oevans So you got the Joule?  I really like it.  The app for it is quite nice as well.

You may find that the first time you have a sous vide chicken breast that it feels a little odd in your mouth.  I was so used to dry chewy, chicken that a sous vide one felt under cooked in my mouth.
