We’ve previous subjected beef to 8 (sometimes tortuous) hours in a slow cooker; but what happens after 8 hours via a temperature controlled, sous-vide method?

New Year’s Resolution?
We made a New Year’s resolution to do more posts, but like many such resolutions it isn’t going so well… but we will do better (we have a plan, and will follow through…)! Dissertations still must happen, but we promise to take time off occasionally for fun science too.
Cheers!

Iced Beverage Challenge: Brandy vs H2O
When consuming iced beverages, it casually seemed that ice would disappear at different rates depending on the beverage. What happens when we actually test this?
Blueberries II: The Muffinning
It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a person in possession of a quantity of blueberries, must be in want of baked goods [citation needed]. Having acquired blueberries and converted some of them into desserts, we set our sights on things breakfasty, and commenced The Muffinning. Continue reading
Blueberries: the Thickening
It’s blueberry season here in the UP, and having picked 5.5 lbs of them, we needed to do some science! Since I am not quite up to tackling experimental wine making yet, we chose to investigate the potential thickening power a single apple can lend to a blueberry pie.
Bacon Shrinkage (revisited!)
We previously examined bacon shrinkage caused by different stove-top techniques. However, it was uncertain how much of that length loss was simply due to differential doneness. Here, we wanted to try again with more control for “doneness”, as well as examine the impacts on different bacon thicknesses.
On the importance of searing steaks
Here at the primary testing facility, we recently acquired our first sous vide immersion circulator. Since this is a novel cooking technique for us we have many questions. In this post we seek to find out how important searing really is when cooking steaks?
