Sous Vide Burger: when & how to sous vide burgers, sous vide burger temp experiment

[@peterdurand3098]

Good video, as always. I noticed that as you finished the sous vide portion there was a lot of juice in the bag. For what its worth I freeze the burger before sealing in my chamber vac along with a drop or two of good olive oil. It gives a very tight fit as you can imagine. But without compressing the meat. Cooking for about 2.5-3 hours (at 57C/135F). I use an 8 oz patty and when the bag is opened there is less than 1 tsp of liquid left over. My local butcher makes these patties with prime rib meat and fat, 80-20 ratio. They are sooo good! Cheers, Peter

Thanks for sharing your knowledge Peter! Very helpful! I will definitely try this.

Nice comparison. My first ever experiment with sous vide was to make 8 oz burgers in sous vide, then searing over a grill. I've compared it to a burger cooked over the grill. The sous vide patty tasted like steamed meat, the one cooked over the grill had a rich flavor from fat smoke and a more robust char flavor. I like sous vide better for steaks.

If you can keep the burger cooked evenly enough to your liking on the grill, it’s hard to beat!

Thanks! This adds a potential new method in meal planing during a busy week for the family!

I recommend repeating the experiment but doing one at 150 then do a blind taste test. Think you will be very surprised at the result. I always cook steaks at 130 but burgers at 150.

[@MattWeaver-bc9dr]

That’s your preference

[@topsousvide]

Appreciate the input! I’ll give it a try.

I like my burgers red, 150 would turn them brown.
