Comment on St. Patricks day brisket – sous vide style by Nika

Perhaps, as in the comments for your post, what you had wasnt actually brisket – you can see how mine seems thinner than yours. Mine was certainly nothing fancy at all. It was brined as you would for any corned beef at some manufacturing facility lord knows where.

I have actually had brisket turn out as you describe after simmering in a pot for a day.

I dont get why there is such inconsistency – try again with my settings? I cross my fingers for you.

Which is EXACTLY why I only eat Tilapia from Regal Springs, farmed in Indonesia and Honduras. They have been fighting the use of CO for a long time. I came across them, and LOVE what they are doing for the environment and communities. http://www.regalsprings.com (I think)

LOL, they were a pretty cool challenge, even if I was only allowed one bite for quality control! Don’t want to undo all my progress!

Very interesting and very relevant to me. This will dovetail nicely with what I’ve already done to control my PCOS. I had picked up some buckwheat flour for another recipe, I will have to try this out. Thanks for the informative post!

Interesting use of kefir. I suppose it’s similar to buttermilk in this application?
