Valkyrie Posted April 21, 2010 Share Posted April 21, 2010 Tis definitely a chicken. She's huge but the others were frightened when they first saw her so we are keeping her separate for the time being. Heh heh heh. Nope, no boyfriends for Erin. I think all her male friends know she's a bit of a handful so keep a respectful distance! One already had a tongue lashing last year but they are friends again now.

Laura & CTB Posted April 21, 2010 Share Posted April 21, 2010 Evening all Gosh Debs that looks serious! Sure you dont want another handbag instead? Looking forward to chook photos. I'm still doing the battle of the baytril with my lot - I'd just got a syringe down Tiffany's throat when she kind of went "kah plurgh" and it shot out and has landed somewhere in the run Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Space Chick Posted April 21, 2010 Share Posted April 21, 2010 I mean all the best Michelin starred chefs use them, and if you need to "poach" at a constant 63 degrees Yes Fred, there are used a lot in Chemistry, but stands to reason, as this is for Molecular Gastronomy techniques I honestly think I would use it a lot, hence why Phil is caving I am going to give it some serious thought though as it is a LOT of money, but on the other hand if it facilitates Michelin standard food at home Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Space Chick Posted April 21, 2010 Share Posted April 21, 2010 Well...... where do I start...... The technique of cookery is called Sous Vide, it was invented in the 1970's and further developed in the 1980's through Molecular Gastronomy. Basically you seal food (meat, fish etc) in vacuum sealed bags (already ordered a vacuum sealer for other purposes ) and poach for exact temperatures for exact times which will allow the food to cook perfectly for maintaining its succulence and flavour. It can also transform cheaper cuts of meat into feasts (eg Pork belly which is cooked at 63 degrees for 9 - 12 hours) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
