What's the proper temperature to sous vide Taco Bell? Strangely couldn't find anything online.

>> No.11759995

I know ~141 and above is outside the TDZ, and reheating food should reach 165. So should I just set it for 165?

>> No.11760000

>>11759896
just set it to "spicy"

>> No.11760002

that's actually how they cook the meat at taco bell.

It comes in big plastic bags, and you just put the sealed bags in hot water. I wanna say it's like 90 degrees celsius, just under boiling.

Yeah this anon is right. I worked there for 6 years. We keep that water at 200°F and everything is in there for a minimum of 30 minutes.

I'm doing full burritos, not just the meat. I set it for 165F, but might crank it up another 15-20 degrees.
>>11760016
The original is a good step up from Cholula, but I still prefer green Cholula over green Gringo Bandito, though I usually mix the green with other things, and use green El Yucateca if I want a straight green table sauce. It just happened to be sitting on the counter.

I'm just going to go with 165. I honestly just wanted to try this new container/lid I got as a late Xmas present. It's pretty nice, but I'm still kind of surprised it's taken almost half an hour to get up to temp.

It's in. Kind of disappointed that I still needed to use some tongs to hold it down, even after getting all the air out. I guess Taco Bell still uses some fillers...

If you're going to blow money on sous vide at least buy a cryovac sealer instead of those leaky ziplocks.

Half an hour in I decided to turn it down to 150. They were only in the fridge so I'm sure they're up to a safe temp by now.
>>11760231
I bought the Anova last year. This year I got the container and lid. Next year I plan on getting the actual vacuum sealer.
>>11760253
I also need to pick up a kitchen torch. Fortunately I thought ahead and ordered all my burritos grilled.

Kek. I usually microwave my TB burritos. This is just an experiment (and unironically dinner).

I used to heat them up in the toaster oven. Then one time I was really hungry and didn't want to wait 20+ minutes, so I used the microwave. I never went back; hot pockets will always be best microwaved.

I battered and deep fried one once for the fun of it.
Was basically a hot pocket chimichanga. Tasted about as good as a hot pocket could.

Welp. Seems like the water seeped in somehow. Guess it's time to invest in the cryovac, and a decent kitchen torch. With a few tweeks it would still be better than the microwave, but right now it's a definite failure. I'll put the next one on the carbon steel and see if it's salvageable.

pop tarts are designed to be toasted. I'm going to pick up a torch in a couple days, but even if I do a pop tart it will be a disappointment.

Just get any vacuum sealer that doesn't suck shit. You can pick up a nice vacsealer that still works at goodwill for less than 10 bucks, and get rolls of bags for cheap online.
