New food toys! (Sous Vide)

This is cool! I thought about getting one but I have a Sous Vide gadget already. I use my Instant Pot Smart to Sous Vide. It works amazing and The Instant Pot does so many other things! Plus it syncs to my phone telling me when my food is ready! It’s a week day dinner saver!

Food for printing

I think you should be able to engrave tuna meat. Below is a link to a youtube video where a laser engraves a steak and they grill it later. Not a glowforge laser though, but should be no different. [Steak Laser Engraving - DNTAH - Do Not Try This At Home] Depends what you intend to do with it later, but wouldn’t it be better to just get a piece of metal in the shape of whatever you wan’t to engrave, heat it up really high and just mark it like they do with cattle branding?

It looks like the guy in the fancy apron and french accent in the video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yqx3oDlTtVk drew then cooked. After sous-vide gives you a representative final surface, searing in a graphic prior avoid your food cooling during printing.

Then again, a good sear probably erases any graphic. I’m also not putting a seared steak in my GF.

This should maybe be a new topic. If Matt an I actually do this I’ll post the results on the forum.
