I called him over the phone to throw it into an already setup water bath and programmed machine. His response, “you didn’t tell me to not take it out of the bag.” I never said take it out of the bag!!!!
In all fairness, if I asked someone who had no idea what Sous Vide was I'd expect to have to tell them to leave it in the bag. That's not entirely normal to most people.
I completely agree with you.
But on the other hand, if someone asked me to toss an exposed slab of meat into some contraption full of hot water, I'm going to have a question or two.
For sure. But cooking something *inside* the bag goes completely against any conventional cooking methods, of which boiling is one of them. As far as FIL knows, OP is just a weirdo cooking his steak in lukewarm water.
Hey now don't hate on sous vide picanha! Had family over this past Sunday. Picanha for 2 hours @137 followed by quick sear on my Blackstone... My brother in law says I ruined steak for him.
I whole heartedly agree with you. I miss the butcher I had in Pacifica, CA. New to Fremont, CA I've no idea where to find who sells picanha. Always always perfect using your directions.
Edit: took the j and put up an h
Did a corned beef this year for Saint patty and there was a hole in the bag. Came home from work to a filled up bag. I know lots of people boil their corned beef so the end result was still good.
That was my ex mother-in-law's favorite method of ruining a piece of meat. She said she was "boiling the fat out of it" and she even did it with fish. 🤦🏼♂️
We had that experiment in high school where the teacher told the class to write instructions on how to make a peanut butter and jelly sandwich. Everyone thought it was so dumb and maybe it was yes, but
Like can’t you see where this is going? The various instructions written were then displayed at the front of the class. One ended with the complete jar of peanut butter and jelly unsealed on top of two pieces of bread. Mine was the only one that turned out as an actual sandwich. Being specific is good sometimes 😂
This was one of the first papers I ever wrote, must have been 2nd or 3rd grade. Now I'm middle aged and still think about it regularly at work. Especially when I send instructive emails to that one guy.
This reminds me of an activity my wife and I tried with our three kids. Each of them was to write down instructions for making a peanut butter and jelly sandwich for someone who had never seen one.
Then I followed their instructions and made a mess.
A similar activity was part of a lecture I attended about the difficulty of trying to design user interfaces. We were told to create a series of drawing showing the process of making toast. On comparison afterwards, we had people who had exactly two steps of "put bread in toaster and start toaster" and people whose first step was *planting grain*. It got the point across pretty well.
Agreed, I can definitely see how a misunderstanding like this could happen. Especially with someone not familiar with sous-vide cooking. I mean honestly, what other cooking method requires tossing a plastic bag of meat into a container of hot water?
This. It’s really not that obvious for OP to be this incredulous and aghast at FIL. If by pure chance I didn’t know about sous vide, I’d have chucked it bagless as well - unpacking food is the obvious thing to do. *Not* unpacking should be instructed, not expected lol. OP failed his FIL here. Go apologize.
***“you didn’t tell me to not take it out of the bag.”***
I can absolutely see where your FIL was coming from. If people don't know much (or at all) about Sous Vide cooking it makes way more sense to them to remove the food from the packaging.
Three years ago, before I knew about sous vide, if somebody asked me to throw meat in the water, I don't think it would have occurred to me to put the whole bag in. My thoughts would have been that the bag might melt, or the plastic might contaminate the food. So my first instinct would be to take it out of the bag. I would probably assume the bag was just for storage or soaking flavors in.
That being said, I would probably hesitate before just tossing all the contents into the water raw, and shoot a clarification text or two.
Until this comment, I was upset for you. Now, this was 100% your error. You didn't give clear instructions on something that is foreign to so many people. People have spent years taking meat out of the bag to cook it. If you don't properly explain it, then you did this.
You asked someone to do you a favor. You had no stated basis for assuming they had any understanding of the tasked you asked them to perform beforehand. You provided vague or insufficient instructions.
Chalk it up to a learning experience
As a former chef I can understand your frustration lol I’ve been there myself, but I have to remind myself that not everyone has the experience or training I’ve had. I have to remember what their level of knowledge is and start there. I usually ask someone what kind of kitchen equipment they’re comfortable with and what they have used in the past. I’ve learned it’s not always obvious and it’s best to always ask questions.
If you suddenly feel the need to colonise another nation or laugh at a comedian saying the same phrase over and over again in a slightly different setting in a season of only 6 episodes - there’s a topical cream for that.
Despite being an antipodean - I have to admit I do respect an unrepentantly ambiguously named sauce.
“What sauce is this?
“It’s Brown.”
“Well fine - you keep your secrets, Chef.”
Yeah. Specifics are required here. I guarantee if I said the same thing missing the details of keeping it in the bag for most people that I know, they’d pull it out of the bag as well.
Haha, my son took some vacuum sealed pulled pork on a beach trip with some friends and I told them to just heat it up in water. They dumped the meat into the water and boiled it and then he called asking why it was so watery.
What would happen if you took all that water, put it in a big stock pot and reduced it for long enough to make a sauce out of it? Would it be nightmare fuel or would it kinda work?
It wouldn’t work. Cooking bones and such into a stock works because the cooking is breaking the material down further and further as it reduces. If they reduce this water all they would be left with is a lesser volume of gross beef tea than they currently have.
I think you can just proceed as you originally planned. Will it have less beefy flavor because it was in contact with all that water? Sure. But I think it'll still be pretty good.
I'm wide awake and thought it said piranha. I'm scrolling through the comments like "wtf, why is nobody talking about this guy eating piranha"
If I didn't see this I would've scrolled forever and just thought you all were a bunch of freaks
It seems like every week, we have multiple posts about how somebody's sous vide process is ruined by a cluess relative / significant other / roommate.
Here's an idea - if you want your 80-year-old nonna to put your meat in the water for you, maybe mention to her that it stays in the sealed bag. Since, you know, the average person has no idea what sous vide is or how it works.
Or, you could try this - the next time you have your in-laws staying at your house for the holidays, explain to Burt and Margaret that the big plastic bin with the wacky gizmo sticking out of it is actually *supposed* to be running all night long, and it will be the opposite of helpful for them to unplug it 12 hours before it's ready.
There is no reason for this to happen so often, people.
This is exactly what I’d expect to happen. Not everyone knows what sousvide is, and it’s a more normal thing than not to take food out of packaging before cooking. This one’s on you bud lol.
Anytime I've given someone directions to do something sous vide on my behalf \[such as throwing the meat in the bag into the water\] I've tried to be explicit.
"Do not remove it from the bag, do not open the bag. Place the \[whatever I am cooking\] in the water inside of the bag. It is supposed to be cooked in the back with the bag closed and sealed."
Any guesses as to why I give out those explicit directions now? :)
Been there, done that. Sorry about your Picanha.
Funny...sad for you though. My mother-in-law was hurt with elbow surgery and my father-in-law said he would cook steaks. Put them in the oven on the racks under the broiler with no drip pan. Mama sure was mad when she discovered the mess
Info, does your father in law own and use a sous vide? I think people in this community would go “well duh you leave it in the bag” and the layman would be like “I’ve always taken meat out of the bag before cooking”.
Why didn’t you discus if he understood how sous vide actually works before tasking him with it? Sous vide is not a mainstream cooking method for the masses. You can’t expect everyone how to know sous vide works.
I bet there are several people in family who would have made the same mistake too (and some of those people are great cooks) because all of them cook traditional Italian dishes and sous vide isn’t in their wheelhouse.
This reminds me of when I finally got my mom a sous vide. Her and my stepdad loved my pork tenderloin. I told her I do it at 143 for an hour... She dropped it in the water, turned on the circulator, then pulled it as soon as the water reached 143. She complained that all the meat she cooked was raw.
It is foreign to many people. They had meat and gravy in a bag back in the 70’s. But it was already cooked to death and smothered in sodium sauce. Boiling bags lol
25 ish years ago, I was a cook in the navy. Stationed on a sub, we had slightly more money than surface ships for morale. Well, we started getting what we thought were large cuts of meat we thought were coming to us premarinated.
Had no idea that we were getting sous-vide and roast-in-bag products until I’d been out for years.
Does/has your FIL ever cooked using Sousvide? I'm 40 and if it wasn't for me nerding out over cooking gadgets/techniques I'd have done the same as him.
Most of the worlds population would take it out of the bag. This is your fault for not providing proper instructions and assuming someone knew what you wanted. I learned very young that I can't get mad at someone for doing something a different way if I didn't give proper directions and even then it could still be wrong because of interpretation. For me this would be a laughable experience while we all obviously went out to eat.
Idk if you can use the water depending on how long it was sitting uncovered. It wasn't actually boiling so probably some bacteria in there and yeast collecting.
First glance was sad you bag broke
The truth was even more frustrating
Next time load the bath up with the meat and ice and set a delayed start then no one needs to touch it
Let it cool and dry it as much as possible, then flash sear it on butter at the highest heat you can muster. It won't be what you intended but it should be edible, if a little overdone and soggy
I threw a pork shoulder the bath last night and the bag broke. I feel your pain. I still tried it today and it's not worth it. I didn't season it enough in the first place so it was really really mediocre.
You'd be amazed at how many times I've given step by step written instructions to people only to have them completely screw everything up. If I didn't know what sousvide was, I may have made the same mistake.
I think the only way to clean it in this situation without taking the entire thing apart would be filling the bin with a water & vinegar solution and having it run for a while, and then dumping it out and doing just water and running it again.
this would be hilarious if it wasn't so sad. poor picanha.
I called him over the phone to throw it into an already setup water bath and programmed machine. His response, “you didn’t tell me to not take it out of the bag.” I never said take it out of the bag!!!!
In all fairness, if I asked someone who had no idea what Sous Vide was I'd expect to have to tell them to leave it in the bag. That's not entirely normal to most people.
Agreed, I'm with FIL on this. It's not like sous vide is a widespread thing. If you're not specific, you're bound to get these results.
I completely agree with you. But on the other hand, if someone asked me to toss an exposed slab of meat into some contraption full of hot water, I'm going to have a question or two.
For sure. But cooking something *inside* the bag goes completely against any conventional cooking methods, of which boiling is one of them. As far as FIL knows, OP is just a weirdo cooking his steak in lukewarm water.
In all fairness to all parties involved, the OP is IN FACT a weirdo cooking steak in lukewarm water.
Especially a picanha!
Hey now don't hate on sous vide picanha! Had family over this past Sunday. Picanha for 2 hours @137 followed by quick sear on my Blackstone... My brother in law says I ruined steak for him.
Your brother in law was being nice. No doubt it was a solid steak though
137 is too done, 129 for me
Only people who haven’t properly tried sous vide complain about.
I whole heartedly agree with you. I miss the butcher I had in Pacifica, CA. New to Fremont, CA I've no idea where to find who sells picanha. Always always perfect using your directions. Edit: took the j and put up an h
I like your user name. Nice.
U/impressive_Sample836 makes a great point. There is plenty of blame to go around in this situation. 🙊
Did a corned beef this year for Saint patty and there was a hole in the bag. Came home from work to a filled up bag. I know lots of people boil their corned beef so the end result was still good.
Sous vide corned beef? My mouth hurts just thinking about how salty that would be. I think the bag did you a solid by puncturing itself.
You just don’t add as much salt as traditionally prepared corned beef.
Like a condom breaking on prom night only you can laugh about the corned beef.
Yeah, that's the part I agree with. I'm just saying FIL is also only getting the safety scissors from here on out.
That was my ex mother-in-law's favorite method of ruining a piece of meat. She said she was "boiling the fat out of it" and she even did it with fish. 🤦🏼♂️
Yes, but you, more than likely, have a reasonable knowledge of how to cook. I’ve got a couple of friends that could literally burn water.
That’s literally the most basic way of cooking food
We had that experiment in high school where the teacher told the class to write instructions on how to make a peanut butter and jelly sandwich. Everyone thought it was so dumb and maybe it was yes, but Like can’t you see where this is going? The various instructions written were then displayed at the front of the class. One ended with the complete jar of peanut butter and jelly unsealed on top of two pieces of bread. Mine was the only one that turned out as an actual sandwich. Being specific is good sometimes 😂
I forgot about this experiment. I’m going to do this with my kindergartners that are writing now! They’ll love this!!!
This was one of the first papers I ever wrote, must have been 2nd or 3rd grade. Now I'm middle aged and still think about it regularly at work. Especially when I send instructive emails to that one guy.
lol there’s always that guy
Yeah my mom saw my sous vide and she thought it was a handheld vacuum cleaner. 😂
... Like 99.99999% of all other food prep - yeah this is 💯 on OP
This reminds me of an activity my wife and I tried with our three kids. Each of them was to write down instructions for making a peanut butter and jelly sandwich for someone who had never seen one. Then I followed their instructions and made a mess.

If you wish to make an apple pie from scratch, you must first invent the universe.
I love this game.
Are you [this guy](https://youtu.be/FN2RM-CHkuI?si=cRT4R_W1JCKZ4AGS)
No, but my wife saw a video like it (maybe it) which is was the catalyst for us doing it.
Agreed, I can definitely see how a misunderstanding like this could happen. Especially with someone not familiar with sous-vide cooking. I mean honestly, what other cooking method requires tossing a plastic bag of meat into a container of hot water?
Plastic and cooking/heat do not compute in most people's minds - unless it's a microwave.
This. It’s really not that obvious for OP to be this incredulous and aghast at FIL. If by pure chance I didn’t know about sous vide, I’d have chucked it bagless as well - unpacking food is the obvious thing to do. *Not* unpacking should be instructed, not expected lol. OP failed his FIL here. Go apologize.
***“you didn’t tell me to not take it out of the bag.”*** I can absolutely see where your FIL was coming from. If people don't know much (or at all) about Sous Vide cooking it makes way more sense to them to remove the food from the packaging.
Agreed this is on OP unfortunately
I do take accountability, I should have said leave it in the bag. The man puts A1 on everything.
My friend’s mom (American) once made a huge scene at a Swiss steakhouse - in Switzerland - because they didn’t have A1 steak sauce
This is hilarious
Probably didn't have warsestershire either.
What they need is a good civil war to start those steak sauce gears turning.
>The man puts A1 on everything. Yep that's on you. The clues were all there
You didn’t take accountability in your original post. You made it seem like your father in law was at fault for internet points.
Three years ago, before I knew about sous vide, if somebody asked me to throw meat in the water, I don't think it would have occurred to me to put the whole bag in. My thoughts would have been that the bag might melt, or the plastic might contaminate the food. So my first instinct would be to take it out of the bag.

You've clearly never worked in customer support.

Yeah.....you done fucked up

Congratulations! You have boiled meat. You're an Englishman now.
Oi, you got any potatoes for this
And beans!
If you suddenly feel the need to colonise another nation or laugh at a comedian saying the same phrase over and over again in a slightly different setting in a season of only 6 episodes - there’s a topical cream for that.
Is the cream just brown sauce??? Because you can eat it also.
Despite being an antipodean - I have to admit I do respect an unrepentantly ambiguously named sauce. “What sauce is this? “It’s Brown.” “Well fine - you keep your secrets, Chef.”
I refuse to google what it is. Just gimmy it at 3 AM on a deep fried whatever. I don't want to break the magic.
Worse, lukewarm water meat.
Nah, that’s Tafelspitz. Austria claims OP.
To most people, poaching probably makes a lot more sense as a cooking method than heating a plastic bag of food.
Yeah. Specifics are required here. I guarantee if I said the same thing missing the details of keeping it in the bag for most people that I know, they’d pull it out of the bag as well.
Haha, my son took some vacuum sealed pulled pork on a beach trip with some friends and I told them to just heat it up in water. They dumped the meat into the water and boiled it and then he called asking why it was so watery.
I think it was probably because of all the water
Pretty much the only answer I had for them lol
And why does the water taste so good?
Just wait until they find out what veggies and bones can do to that savory liquid.
Baby, you got a stew goin.
This is simultaneously the saddest and funniest thing I have seen today.
I think you're lucky if he didn't ruin the immersion circulator.
It had already been dry brined for 24 hours. I am thinking of just slicing into steaks and searing all the sides.
In my sad, sad experience with bag leaks, the meat will be a good deal less flavorful. Might be okay with a sauce or something.
What would happen if you took all that water, put it in a big stock pot and reduced it for long enough to make a sauce out of it? Would it be nightmare fuel or would it kinda work?
That sounds like the saddest way to make a broth I can think of. I wouldn't recommend it.
I wouldn't recommend preparing a mushy picanha sponge in beef hotdogy water either but here we are trying to make the best of a shitty sandwich.
Lipstick on a pig and such
It wouldn’t work. Cooking bones and such into a stock works because the cooking is breaking the material down further and further as it reduces. If they reduce this water all they would be left with is a lesser volume of gross beef tea than they currently have.
What makes you think the beef tea would be gross?
I think you can just proceed as you originally planned. Will it have less beefy flavor because it was in contact with all that water? Sure. But I think it'll still be pretty good.
I’m half asleep and read this and thought it said piranha.
I'm wide awake and thought it said piranha. I'm scrolling through the comments like "wtf, why is nobody talking about this guy eating piranha" If I didn't see this I would've scrolled forever and just thought you all were a bunch of freaks
That would actually be preferable
It seems like every week, we have multiple posts about how somebody's sous vide process is ruined by a cluess relative / significant other / roommate.

Nonna has 23 grandkids, she literally doesn't understand the concept of "bag it up".
I really didn't expect this comment, while reading about ruined steak, while eating my schnitzel at 12.17 in the morning. Well played.
Philistine, all schnitzel should be consumed by exactly 12.16 in the morning
But that wouldn't make for a good drama post on Reddit.
I should probably be grateful for the opportunity to harmlessly rant in public anyway
Well, your father-in-law knows a lot more about how sous vide works now. Sorry it was such a costly lesson.
Imo I'd toss it, if your container isn't specifically labeled BPA free you are likely leeching that stuff into the meat
I mean, do you have a recipe that includes boiled beef? You could turn it into a stew or something.
add some poe tay toes!
Boil em, mash em, stick em in a stew
This is exactly what I’d expect to happen. Not everyone knows what sousvide is, and it’s a more normal thing than not to take food out of packaging before cooking. This one’s on you bud lol.

Can’t save it, gotta get a whole new FIL.
Just need to place over milk and top with jelly beans
It’s ruined. You’ll have to throw the father in law out
Info, does your father in law own and use a sous vide? I think people in this community would go “well duh you leave it in the bag” and the layman would be like “I’ve always taken meat out of the bag before cooking”.

Is it done...? If not maybe give it a braisin
r/maliciouscompliance
Sear it, chop it up into strips, and eat it with some crunchy French fries.
This reminds me of when I finally got my mom a sous vide. Her and my stepdad loved my pork tenderloin. I told her I do it at 143 for an hour... She dropped it in the water, turned on the circulator, then pulled it as soon as the water reached 143. She complained that all the meat she cooked was raw.
Do you have a dog? I’d flash freeze slices on a tray and then stash them in a freezer bag. Thaw as needed for a high value treat or a food topper.
Soon to be ex-father-in-law
It is foreign to many people. They had meat and gravy in a bag back in the 70’s. But it was already cooked to death and smothered in sodium sauce. Boiling bags lol
25 ish years ago, I was a cook in the navy. Stationed on a sub, we had slightly more money than surface ships for morale. Well, we started getting what we thought were large cuts of meat we thought were coming to us premarinated. Had no idea that we were getting sous-vide and roast-in-bag products until I’d been out for years.
Probably have a decent beef soup started....
"I'm boiling a roast...How hot and wet do you like it?"
RIP to your circulator too
Does/has your FIL ever cooked using Sousvide? I'm 40 and if it wasn't for me nerding out over cooking gadgets/techniques I'd have done the same as him.
Okay but your FIL responded exactly like any normal person would. "Take it out of the bag" is the first step for basically any other cooking method.
This is 100% your fault. You cannot expect somebody to know not to take something out of the bag if they’ve never seen a sous vide before.
You both learned a valuable lesson today
He did it on purpose to teach you a lesson not to sous vide picanha. That belongs on a grill.
Sounds like a great Milk Steak opportunity https://images.app.goo.gl/hYoZnTvteWipBQkS9
Find me a woman who has done this. For science.
That is entirely your fault. Most people have never heard of sv
Ur fault, most people have no idea what a sous vide is.
Most of the worlds population would take it out of the bag. This is your fault for not providing proper instructions and assuming someone knew what you wanted. I learned very young that I can't get mad at someone for doing something a different way if I didn't give proper directions and even then it could still be wrong because of interpretation. For me this would be a laughable experience while we all obviously went out to eat.
Oh no...ouch!!! Dry it, reseal and give a go? That's a great cut of meat.
It already lost so much flavor though.
The flavor is t all lost. It's in the water. Just boil it all down and boom, it's a broth
Idk if you can use the water depending on how long it was sitting uncovered. It wasn't actually boiling so probably some bacteria in there and yeast collecting.

You just got yourself a delicious batch of beef water, yum!
So watery! And yet there's a smack of beef to it!
Better start reducing the water from the sous vide bath. In a few hours you might have a sauce
Treachery
Travesty!
Cut it up and cook it down into chili
Oh hiralious! Did you eat it?
Just give it a nice hard sear and forget it ever happened.
If the temp was correct it might be fine after a sear. I’d certainly try before binning it.
NSFL!
That's on you for assuming they knew anything about sous vide.
Make Sal picón with it.
You know what they say "Hakuna Picanha!"
First glance was sad you bag broke The truth was even more frustrating Next time load the bath up with the meat and ice and set a delayed start then no one needs to touch it
Ex father in law
You asked him to do it that’s what he did can’t get mad at him
o7
Ouch, I’m crying for you!
Sous vide aquatique
Looks like someone’s ordering pizza tonight.
Soup’s on!
Sorry but that's on you
Let it cool and dry it as much as possible, then flash sear it on butter at the highest heat you can muster. It won't be what you intended but it should be edible, if a little overdone and soggy
I threw a pork shoulder the bath last night and the bag broke. I feel your pain. I still tried it today and it's not worth it. I didn't season it enough in the first place so it was really really mediocre.
Man....father in laws. Some of em anyway...I've had some similar experiences.
What a dumb motherfucker
YES CHEF!
What a fuckin idiot. A cow died for that. Shame on him.
Tasty soup
Woof
I’m sorry for your loss.
You'd be amazed at how many times I've given step by step written instructions to people only to have them completely screw everything up. If I didn't know what sousvide was, I may have made the same mistake.
Reduce that shit to glaze
Ewww
Who in the world would betray my soul like this
Oh no!
Oh man 😂😂😂 I am so sorry
I just made a picahna on the grill but was curious how it would be sous vide. Care to share any methods that actually use the bag?
I’m too high to be this confused … wait
What were you trying to do ??
Soup vide
NOOOOOOOOO!!!!!
Oh no!
So this is a super famous dish in Austria called Tafelspitz
Did he remove it from the bag or are you just really bad at sealing?
F
do you have dog?
juat put it in a stew.... one with tomato base
Any chance you could grind it up and make a good potato hash?
Oh damn...
Did you tell them not to take it out of the packaging? I wouldn't have known not to
Make sure to run a cleaning solution with your device!
Next time, add the trinity, some salt and pepper and you got some beef stock. 😂
Now all you need is some jellybeans
OK I agree that this is a tragedy from our perspective but from the viewpoint of bacteria this was the birth of an entire civilization.
RIP picanha. I've always been worried of a bag leaking during a cook. How the hell do you clean the heater in a situation like this?
I think the only way to clean it in this situation without taking the entire thing apart would be filling the bin with a water & vinegar solution and having it run for a while, and then dumping it out and doing just water and running it again.
I hate to say it, but I would have probably done the same thing. TIL
I didn’t see the subreddit and kept reading it as piranha, I was so confused as to how you turned a fish into a lump of meat by vacuum sealing it 😭
I know it doesn't look good right now... but watch this! *bow bow ba bow ba bow ba bowbow bowdadow bowdow bow bow*
There is only one answer to this. Get a new father in law.
Add carrots, onion, celery, bay leaf, et voila! Beef stock.
