    No, for veggies, straight out of the bag works.

    Smoking77 no, there is no need to let it warm up again after shocking, in fact, keeping it cool allows you more time to get a good sear without continuing to cook the interior more.

    Years ago when I first heard about sous vide I went out and spent an ungodly amount of money on one along with this big fancy vacuum packer. I thought this would improve my cooking skills of which I have none. I think I tried it twice along with a torch burner to char them. I’m not sure what cooking show I got the idea from. Everything I tried to cook in it came out bad and I couldn’t stand to look at the meat when it came out. It’s been sitting in the garage since. I’ve learned more from reading on this site since I joined than anywhere else, maybe I’ll pull it back out and give it a try again. Sounds like it could be a time saver at times. When you do the veggies do you need to do anything else to them when you take them out?

    Potkettleblack After shocking, do you sear straight from the ice bath/fridge, or do you warm the meat a little first?

    I thought about but never got a dedicated sous vide bin for my Anova - I have been using it pretty successfully with a 2 gallon stock pot, or with a couple of old stove top dutch oven style pots. Those are already in the kitchen, and I didn't have to find room to store something else...

    I like but don't love my sous vide. Because at this point I know (or at least like to think I know) my way around a piece of meat, I actually use it more frequently on veggies. I'll fill a ziplock with asparagus, garlic and olive oil and then into the sous vide for an hour! I think the big challenge, particularly living in a city, is that it does take up a good deal of space between the sous vide machine itself and the bin that I use for the sous vide. Because I am under construction, I had to edit down my small appliances for the summer -- the sous vide did not make the cut.

    All correct. I personally SV steak at 130 and then ice bath until well chilled. Then hit with a good sear and pull at 125. Comes out how I like them every time after carryover does its magic. The ice chill is really the key IMHO. Never had a steak that needed a long SV.

    I heard they use bath salts when processing chicken
