Have you cooked other protein foods besides meat using this sous vide method? @DJC3

No I’ve tried all sorts of meat but I can’t see the point of cooking fish like this as it’s so quick and simple by other methods. Do you use sous vide for anything?

Breakfast today was h/m yoghurt with blueberries and N&S grain free granola.
Lunch, cold leftovers, roast beef, salami, olives, fermented veg and cheddar. Montezuma’s AB to follow.
Dinner m- kobi keema ( mince and cabbage curry) with a bit of l/c pizza base as a naan or chapati substitute. 1 glass dry white wine.

Wow! That's my kind of food @shelley262. I wouldn't need a pud to follow that!

No @DJC3. I wasn't thinking of fish for exactly the reasons you mention. I wondered whether you'd tried cooking eggs or other high protein food using sous vide.

No I haven’t tried eggs for the same reason. They are so simple and quick to cook in so many different ways, I couldn’t really see the point in sous vide in this situation. I believe restaurants batch cook poached eggs like this and then chill ready to reheat quickly when needed. I eat a lot of eggs but not on a scale to make this worthwhile!

B- H/m yoghurt with blueberries and seeds.
L- H/m pork liver pate with cheese ‘crispbread’ ( slices of Emmental microwaved until bubbly and crisp)
