You can re-melt solidified agar in a microwave. Do it for 30-60 seconds at a time so you don't have a dangerous situation. If you have an immersion circulator (for sous vide) you can set a 125 ยฐF water bath and cool the bottle in there so timing is less of a concern after you've reheated it.

Edit to reiterate that you can just not use the burner at max output (as B Travern noted above).


Oh this is absolutely brilliant! Again, probably information I should have found for myself, but I have to admit to a little bit of forum search fatigue after the last few weeks of research. The sous vide is such a great idea and I can't believe I didn't think of it. That will make things so much easier.

Do you have a favorite dish that you're most proud of?

Mine is a pan seared chicken cutlet served over white basmati rice, smothered in a sherried morel mushroom cream sauce and topped with tarragon. Tastes so good it'll make your tounge slap your brain silly!

Glad you got it figured out. No need to ever run a PC at full blast. Stay as low as possible to get a gentle jiggle on the weight. Anything more is wasting water and risking a dry pc and ruination. On agar, I pull the flasks out as soon as pressure is gone, then I move the flasks to a water bath at 125f. You could leave them there as long as you want or pour right away until it cools enough to thicken. Then place it back in the bath. Pour again. Repeat.

Great question!  I think I'm probably most proud of my roast pork tenderloin which I do with a very secret dry rub and finish with a brown butter sage thing that has an anchovy smashed into it for extra umami kick.

I make a lot of homemade pasta, my spring onion ravioli will haunt you for months.

Lately I've been baking sourdough and it has been great.

For Thanksgiving I did a duck leg confit salad. I cooked the duck legs, slattered in duck fat, sous vide for about 37 hours and then let them sit in the fat for about 3 weeks in the fridge before taking them out and crisping them up and then slicing on to the salad. One of our guests told me it was a Michelin star dish. Best complement I've ever received for my food.

That all sounds delicious! I like the idea of using anchovies to kick up that savory bit. Brilliant idea!

Perhaps I was a little too cagey about the recipe. It's not mine originally but I made a lot of modifications. The dry rub for the pork consists of dried sage, brown sugar, salt pepper garlic etc. You want it to be a little on the sweeter side. I do The tenderloins on the smoker until they hit about 126ยฐ internal and then I take them off and let them rest while I make the brown butter sage sauce. I put whole sage leaves in the pan and let them crisp up, then set them aside until I'm ready to serve. Then slice the pork. Mash an anchovy into the pan with the butter until it liquefies and then pour that over the sliced pork medallions. Serve with the crispy sage leaves and some seasonal fruit if you want. It's a serious game changer of a dish.

I am the exact opposite. Iโ€™ve just never had a good duck and Iโ€™ve been to good restaurants and tried it. Of course that doesnโ€™t mean I havenโ€™t just been really unlucky and had poor preparations each time.

Have a particular recipe or prep that you prefer?

Duck can definitely be really hard. Everything from the way it's prepared to the temperature that it's served. I've had more bad duck dishes out at restaurants then good ones. My sous vide duck leg confi salad was the first time I ever cooked duck at home. I got really lucky.

I dont trust restraunts with my money.
Ive never seen them search a steap properly, why would I trust them to make duck?

I only tried it once. I baught a frozen duck at Walmart and broke it down so I could try it several ways.

Cross cut the skin on a breast, Dry brine onto a cold pan skin side down and let it render.

Cook on a high medium a couple mins each side until medium rare.

Cook most of the way on skin side.

I used creole and pepper i think last time

Thing about duck a lot of people don't know is that it's all dark meat. It's too greasy for some people. But I think it's delicious when served correctly.
