I don't think that there's such a thing.

I've seen pet chickens, pigs, fish, and even a cow or two. Might need to rethink this one

For meat, I'll go with bark, as you'll loose some, maybe a lot. I have (almost) zero experience with sous vide but from posts I've read, I would sous vide, then smoke and bark it up. I'm sure there are exceptions, and I respect other's opinions and experience.

Agreed... Sous vide first and then smoke! I've done it both ways and SV first is much, much better in my opinion.

Something that shouldn't be cooked sous vide? Hmm, the only thing that comes to mind is a marshmallow or maybe a smore?

Should have been more specific: sushi rice with all the stirring, vinegaring, and fanning that is required. How's that for weasel-wording?

Beets. But they shouldn't be cooked by any method. They should be tossed away......

Spin, You just Stole my Thunder! We have a local Mexican Restuarant that serves Mexican Fried Ice Cream?
It is a ball of Vanilla Ice Cream deep fried (until the outside crystallizes) then Topped with Warm Honey! Ruins
my Diet but delicious! Mexican Village 2-Locations in Fargo. Ã°Å¸â€˜ÂÃ°Å¸â€˜ÂÃ°Å¸â€˜ÂÃ°Å¸â€˜ÂÃ°Å¸â€˜Â Dan

Oh god yeah. Fried Ice Cream is the best thing ever. Combines my love of Dairy products with the fryer. What could go wrong!?!?! Danjohnston949

Actually making the custard base for homemade ice cream is super easy sous vide and the only way I will do it.

* - Weber 26.75" OTG
* - Weber 22.5" Premium cloaked in Crimson
* - Slow 'N Sear
* - Smoke E-Z - 26.75" (The Grain Silo)
* - Lodge Sportsman Grill
* - Weber Rapid Fire Chimney Starter
* - Thermoworks ThermoPop
* - Thermoworks Mk4
* - Thermoworks Dot
* - iGrill2 - 4 probes
* - Favorite Beer - the cold one in my hand (craft beers of all flavors; haven't had a blue yummy in over 6 years) my tastes change with the season so it is difficult to name just a couple. However, I will occasionally have a vanilla porter float in the summer (Empyrean Vanilla Porter w/a scoop of homemade vanilla ice cream) as I usually drink stouts & porters in the colder months, pale ales & IPAs in the warmer months. I have to add Not Your Father's Root Beer to beers I use for floats.
* - Booze - I don't really have a favorite, but lean towards single malt Scotch & Irish whiskey
* - Wines - Reds: mainly the heavy stuff mixed in with the occasional pinot noir ( I have yet to meet a malbec I didn't like); Whites: German & Nebraska (hey, I have to support the home team)
* - Favorite Spice outlets - Volcanic Peppers - Bellevue, NE
* - Current butchers: Cure - Ft. Calhoun
