[conspire] (forw) [skeptic] Talking turkey

[Rick Moen]

Sous-vide fans, herewith the big kahuna, the Eiger North Face of
sous-vide aspirations, the 10 kg Thanksgiving Day turkey.

I did have to laugh at the 'The skin was not as much a success' bit.
_You think?_

I got most of the pieces of a whole turkey and tried sous vide on it.
Hands-down best turkey I've ever had, almost too moist to think about
putting gravy on.

Brined it overnight first, then cooked the dark and light meat on
different schedules, the dark meat went in the night before, then the
white meat went in for the last eight hours at a lower temp.

The skin was not as much a success. Sous vide doesn't really cook it,
certainly not crispy. To finish off, I deep-fried some of the pieces
for a minute or so, and used the torch on other pieces, without much
luck on either. Some SV websites I've seen recommend pulling the skin
off before you start and cook it separately in the over between two
cookie sheets.

the volume of such mail received.
