Hi Guys & Gals of the Pit
I am looking to see the best way to get a great sear on a SV cook. My gasser (Weber Genesis) doesnt seem to get hot enough to get a great crust and my cast iron pans sometimes work, but are kinda small, and they don't hold heat well to sear multiple things quickly. I don't like to use coals for it, since it seems a bit wasteful (to me) to light coals and only use for one minute.
I have recently read about the baking steel griddle, which is a 3/8" thick chunk of steel, which would hold heat well for searing (once you heat up forever), but am also curious about using the flat side grill grates, do they get hot enough on a gas grill?
What do you guys use and recommend? Do you think that steel is overkill? Would grill grates make a big difference?
Thanks!
