I have some lamb neck fillet at 55 degrees for 24 hours. When I get back from Wembley tomorrow, I'll deep fry it as a test. Still no N2 but mostly it's the same.

We shall see.

Could you do it with dry ice? That's fairly easy to get hold of.

Yeah it's a suggestion but I don't think it's needed.

dry ice and spiritos was a possible chiller mix i had thought of but im not sure what happens if very cold ethanol meets deep fat fryer.
i suspect full nomex ppe and outside is the place to find out

for lamb i recon tsipouro might work well.

It evaporates with no drama very quickly. Vodka for batter is common enough in some kitchens.

that is good, i recon the dry ice /ethanol route would get a surface to around minus 50 c fairly easily.

when i splashed a bit on my hand years ago it seemed to freeze warm surfaces quite well

Maillard reaction needs about 120 degrees tho, then it's quick. I don't think chilling it will really make a difference. Not enough for me to care about, anyway.

It made an awesome camping fridge.

Dry ice makes stuff fizzy. You get carbonic acid forming which is quite strongly flavoured. Liquid nitrogen is inert, so doesn't impart any sort of flavour.

My observations from making ice cream with both.

I used the deep fryer 'technique' on some lamb that had been at 54 degrees for four hours last night. Amazing. Instant browning on the outside but didn't change the pinkness the throughout the rest. Will certainly do it again.

umm ,that is interesting.i recon im going to put a waterbath on my Christmas list to santa .

there is a lot of scope for this technique,bbq ribs seems like a possible application if i can convince myself that any possibly included parasite cysts will die at some point in the process.

Certainly beef short ribs work well. There are two plus points for me. Firstly, it really does get the best, very easily, from the cheaper, tougher cuts. Secondly, for last night, for example, it gives me huge control. We had lamb fillet, for ten, ready exactly when I needed it. It would have been ready an hour earlier, or fifteen hours later. Beautifully pink, moist and juicy. There's no other way I could have cooked that and enjoyed the previous courses.

I don't use it very often, but when it fits, it's amazing. Get a bath with a digital control. One degree really makes a difference. You don't need stirring. And my vac sealer is cheap and cheerful.

umm ,a vac sealing machine is a useful bit of kitchen kit for many things especially as i tend to get 10 meals for 3 out of a pigs leg and freeze 9 of them.
