It's the same type of crutch like sous vide that no talent hacks have to use to cook.

>>7116184
WAIT

do americans add glutamate as flavoring?

>>7116202
I'm not OP, but I have a bag of it I add to savory dishes. It's not much different from adding a bit of salt. It's just a flavor enhancer.

>>7116209

Here's everything bagged up. Starting in the top left and going clockwise:

- Turkey breast loaf glued together with the skin glued on, going to be deep fried
- turkey filet with garlic butter and thyme
- turkey wing with crushed red chili pepper (comparison experiment)
- turkey wing with crushed red chili pepper and msg (comparison experiment)
- turkey legs with msg and orange peels, also going to be deep fried
- turkey thighs with garlic butter and thyme, flattened out, going to be pan fried/seared in a cast iron

oh yah bc I'm so worried. thx lawd for whole foods bro.

>>7115913
Why the fuck would you sous vide and then deep fry a turkey? Deep frying already cuts the cooking time down to like 30-45 minutes and keeps it moist.

This just seems like useless extra work, or just a lame attempt at trolling.

>>7116320
i did the same thing when i first bought 'accent' seasoning to taste the difference.
It's not immediately noticeable. One just 'tastes' better than the other

>>7116318
it's not like msg is naturally occurring and your whole "MSG free" just means it isn't added in. either way, you're getting it in your system.

>>7116368
deep fry to get that crisp af crust
I've done the same to sous vide bison burgers

Loaf came out

>>7116336
Sous-vide is cooking in a temp-controlled hot-water bath for the sake of getting a perfectly-cooked interior piece. However the bag is there to prevent the food from being basically boiled.

Typically post-immersion cooking, they'll be seared/fried for the crust and flavor.

>>7116601
Looks pretty good.

>>7116607
>for the sake of getting a perfectly-cooked interior piece
It does the same thing a low oven does in most cases. It was put to use in restaurants so that cooks didn't have to juggle 100 pieces of protein at once.

OP
what about the wing comparison?

that's well rested meat, meat shouldn't be dripping juices when you cut it mah nigga

Looks great, >>7117210 !
I was gonna say the transgutanimase is unnecessary for the breasts, but to get the skin to stick like that, I'll but it was.
I did that with breasts last year, just using twine (sous vide), and then crisped the skin in the oven between two sheet pans and served on the side.
This year I just made poutine. Sous vide the fries in brine until very tender, then low temp fry, freeze, high temp fry. Curds and gravy.
Nice job! Looks real pro.

>>7116768
And since I appreciate you effort, I'm going to share a secret of mine for filtering.
I'm sure you've seen the micron bags that are on the market, think they're called super bags or something.
And I've read about people buying paint straining bags for the same purpose.
My secret is... pantyhose. They are cheap as fuck and machine washable. Cheesecloth/muslin are pretty much throw away after one use.
I've used pantyhose to hang duck breast prosciutto for drying as well.

bumping so I can post thigh and wing comparison pics later

>>7121371
And here's the meat side and a cutaway. The thigh meat was super juicy and delicious, I went a little heavy with the garlic but the gaminess of the meat counteracted that a bit so it came out great. The meat was extremely juicy

>>7121376
Also, I did sous vide the wing msg test but I did not finish it in the cast iron, as I already had dinner and that would have been way too much food. I'll get around to doing that some time today

Salvaged / 10

I hope your guests didn't have to see that monstrosity before you browned it

>>7121371
>>7121376
Definitely looks better now it's been browned a little.

>>7119726
That's the same kind of BS people regurgitated about searing.

>>7119726
If the meat gets too hot the fibres are gonna squeeze out moisture regardless

>>7119623
I know that's how it's supposed to look but freshly cooked sous vide meat never fails to astound me with how nasty it looks.

>>7121526
But you can control the temperature a lot better with sous vide. Also I'm certain that the vacuum sealing process blocks the moisture from leaving?

>>7115913
Did you bone through the crown? Jesus.

>>7119709
This is not a fair representation. Yes, it can be used underhandedly but it also has a lot of great applications. As long as you are not using it to sell something as something it isn't I fail to see the issue.

>>7122540
The juices that are going to exit the tissue are going to exit the tissue regardless. A plastic bag under vacuum isn't going to stop that, and the vacuum pressure will increase it. It does essentially baste whatever is in the bag continuously. That's an advantage on that point, but also a disadvantage as you don't get the same result as you would basting while roasting or rotisserie. It's along the same lines of people perceiving brined meat as more moist. So 6 of one 1/2 a dozen of the other IMO. A decent convection oven will control temperature as good as a decent sous vide set up, unless you're using extremely low temps that some ovens won't register.

>>7122663
Actually I posted it just to show how an extreme example of how it can be used. I think it's pretty cool and just wanted to show an application, didn't mean to imply that it was bad.

>>7122555

Nice work Anon, that looks like it came out great!

I actually did my bird Sous Vide this year too. Didn't go for the meat glue though, kept it simple.

For the legs, thighs, and wings I did them at 140F for 24 hours sealed with some fresh rosemary, thyme, butter, and brown suger. Breasts 140F for 3 hours sealed with just herbs and spices. After it all was done I crisped the skin under the broiler.

Definitely the best turkey I've ever had! Pic related.

>>7122663

he obviously meant salt = NaCl = Sodium Chloride
fucking americans...

>>7131247

Even if he was talking about sodium rather than NaCl he is still correct. MSG has a stronger flavor than normal table salt, therefore less of it is required to flavor the dish. For example you might only use a half-teaspoon of MSG in place of two teaspoons of table salt (NaCl)
