Damn. How’d we wind up down this road?
Yeah I’ve had a problem with the meat being too soft for my liking...
Just having a little sport here :). Seriously, I’ve seen them use the sous vide on some of the cooking shows and the meat always looks...well, pretty flaccid. I don’t know that I’ve ever had anything prepared this way. Seems like the seasoning / marinade would have to carry it or have a good sauce for it. Whatever meat we’re having, I’d rather grill (after a good soak), cook it on the flattop, or broil it.
Instapots were mentioned and my daughter and wife use them for rice. It’s pretty easy, but the rice is always gummy, so that discourages me from trying anything else.
I have had chicken and potatoes in an air fryer that were good, but taste-wise I’d still rather have them prepared traditionally. If time is a factor, I’d just as soon make a sandwich, but us old guys can be more traditional I guess. Still, some of your comments are making me rethink the air fryer.
