Made a stupid easy meal for the ages last night & plan on adding it to my dinner rotation. A friend suggested sous viding the brauts, and I was skeptical as I usually like them cooked over an open flame - the real reward came from being able to reserve all of the juices/drippings.

Basic instructions:
-Sous vide brauts all day long at 145°
-Remove from bag, reserve juices, pat dry, & finish in oven under the broiler
-While those are finishing in the oven, sauté some sliced onions in a 50/50 mix of butter and oil (choose something with a higher smoke point here to help temper the butter and avoid scorching), salt, crushed red pepper, & garlic powder.
-When the onions are just about done, deglaze the pan with the reserved braut drippings, stir well, & kill the heat.

Get you the Anova sous vide, the app for it is really easy to use, not only do they already have cook times, people have posted their recipes to the app to help with idea.

To the OP, I wonder if an hour would have been enough time for the brats?

Im sure it was good I just don't see the reason to cook a sausage all day long at 140 degrees in a bag. I make this all the time butter in a cast iron skillet over lower/medium heat sear the sausage and onion at the same time in the same pan and have a wonderful sear/crust on the sausage.

I’m sure an hour would be fine - it might not render out as much liquid as what I ended up with, but I don’t think you need 8+ hours for that. The brauts were still super juicy, too.

No real reason for letting it go all day other than I knew I wouldn’t be home until late that day, and I wanted them to be fully cooked through by the time I got home. It was a complete experiment, and the flavor I got out of the onions blew me away.

Mimi's Cafe had decent liver and onions, haven't been there since the closed the one in Grapevine.

Sous vide concept seems alright, kind of like a fancy crock pot.


Shoot. Eat. Repeat.

Well I had a learning experience. The meat was a little over a 1" choice rib steak cut off of a tom thumb $3.99 a pound 7 lb rib roast. It was probably on sale for a reason. Sous Vide cooked it perfectly medium rare, but then I didn't make the pile of charcoals high enough so it took too long to sear, and that cooked the steak except for 1/2" in the middle. That would have been fine on a better quality steak. My final product was tougher than I expected. Flavor was fine, except it was over salted.

So was it better than just grilling it?

Probably not on that tough cheap meat, but I have 4 more steaks to go through and the next one will be on the grill indirect 8 min then sear.
