Shoutout to the old school butcher who made me eat crow about sous vide

He called it a water bath for people scared of fire, but after 12 hours on a brisket flat that came out like butter at his corner shop in Portland, I had to admit the machine earned its spot on my station, so what gadget made you flip your opinion after years of hating on it?

Water bath for people scared of fire" is a solid line, I'll give the butcher that. But 12 hours on a flat is on the long side unless you're running it real low, like 135 or so. I've had better luck around 8 to 10 hours at 155 for that cut, then finishing it hard in a cast iron. Different tools for different jobs, but your mileage may vary depending on the exact cut and your setup.
