How many people have tried cooking pork in coffee to tenderized?

I have a sous-vide (water bath) machine to make food tender. Just set it on the temp you want to serve at, put in food and leave it (food must be in a vacuseal bag). You can cook beef RARE for 20 hours, and it still comes out tender and juicy! (I know, it's really hard to believe, but its true, and the pork is to die for; 8 hours, put it in, in the morning and it's ready at dinner time)


Flank steak - rare at 20 hours set at 136 degrees! (and you've no idea how tender it was!)

Nope, not me, never heard of it. Asked DH since he had a food science course once, he hasn't heard of it either, said coffee isn't a very strong acid for tenderizing.

Sounds kind of gross to me.

sous-vide! (swooning) - boy if I had one of them would I ever be making cheese! constant perfect temperature controlled water bath.

I am thinking Raz may need a frizzle....

One of those [FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]sous-vide machines costs more than my stove did! [/FONT]

Looks like cold cereal for dinner again.

I really like Metzer's ducks, and need to order some Khacki Campbells to replace the ones I lost to weasals this winter. I need to wait until we get the issue taken care of though. We lost another 4 birds last night. 2 before 1 am.......and I found another 2 when I went out to feed. I am just devestated. We have a weasal trap out, and a live trap. I thought I had the hole in the floor patched, but I was wrong. We were lucky for so many years with predators. Just an occasional fox loss now and then. In the last 6 months I lost over 5 dozen birds. 2 dozen at the end of the fall when I forgot to shut the layer door until 10pm. 3 dozen to the weasal since Christmas.

Sorry to hear about your losses

I hope you can catch the varmit.

Well the storm isn't quite as bad as predicted and I suppose I have stalled as long as I can about going outside. I need to check on the birds and then go to the drug store to replenish our cough syrup. Hope and I are doing much better and Granny feels she is over the worst of it. This has been a cold that I wouldn't have wished on my worst enemy.

Glad that y'all are doing better. Don't rush things though and get plenty of rest

Farmerboy - My husband is in construction and had carpal tunnel issues from swinging a hammer all day, he was advised to start taking B complex vitamins and in about 3 months his wrists were much better. That was years ago and he has no issues with carpal tunnel anymore. It is worth trying IMO if you are trying to avoid surgery like he was. Hope this helps.

Thanks Bianca! I will try that!! This is this yesterday morning- This is this morning-

it does not taste like coffee. I just cooked boneless country style ribs in force at 350 for 2 hours in my toaster oven. Very tender. Yum yum.

Got 9 Icelandic chicks hatched.

Some of the chicks are Delawares, Black Australorp, and Tomaru.

I just read a news article about a little Alabama girl who was ran to death for eating a candy bar and then lying about it. I don't know if anyone else saw it, but the jist of it is, she, the little girl got a candy bar on the bus on the way home and ate it. She lied to her grandma and step mom about it, so they sent her outside to run laps around the yard. FOR 3 HOURS! No water was given. So, when she finally colapsed from dehydration and started having seizures, 911 was called. Her dad ws over seas working, birth mom in florida. The dad took 8 different flights to get home, and then had to make the hard decision to take her off life support. The step mother and grandmother are being charged with murder.

This may sound evil, but I think their punishment should be being forced to run for 3 hours with no water for as long as it takes till they drop and convulse from dehydration and low sodium. So they can feel the torture they inflicted on this little 9 yr old girl.

I wish I hadn't read this, but I have, and I am so mad. Those women can say all they want that they didn't think that running would kill the little girl... But come on now. How many kids have died practicing football from dehydration? UM, A LOT! Evil witches.

Things like the above is why I quit getting the newspaper and watching the news except for the weather. Makes me sick to my stomach, want to vomit, etc....And now that I'm a mother it's even harder to read or think about. Evil witches doesn't even begin to describe what I think of them.
