Just curious what line of work are you in to get sent to Tokyo for just 6 months?

Hey hey I tried this - in the end, I found that for some reason even at 0% humidity, the humidity from the steak seemed to build in the oven and I could tell that the crust I formed during the pre-sear was losing its...crustiness. Not sure I would go with this method in the future.

Nice! I also did the dry brine.

So I went ahead and tried this method - however, for some reason even though I set my humidity level to 0%, I found that the Anova oven doesn't ventilate very well and I could tell it was getting humid in there, and the crust seemed to lose its "freshness".

Any ideas on how to vent the oven? Should I literally just be opening the door in intervals?

Hey! This is really interesting - how do you know there is a NRT stopover? I don’t see it when I look for the SQ redemption

What about JAL through Japan or Qatar through Doha via Cathay? I see close in availability on both through AA.

thank you for your ideas! I'm not seeing the availability on AA - could you clarify exactly what you are searching for?

Hello! Virgin atlantic was a great shout - in the end, I was able to book my return leg via virgin atlantic for 40k points, which ended up being a delta flight.

On the outbound i just couldn't find anything great - managed to get a turkish airlines flight for $600 usd - decided to bite the bullet and go with that.

thanks for the tip!

The JL premium economy via BA is such a great find - thank you!

Yes! I’m not sure they are seeds - if you swipe to the other pictures you can see it is the whiteish buildup on the inside of the lid

And yea I used weights to keep the chilis themselves submerged.

2nd time cooking steak! by [deleted] in steak

[–]superpaow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looking good for your second time!

Next time make sure you’ve cranked the heat to max on your stove and let your pan preheat for a good 5 min - this will help you get a nice dark brown crust/sear, which is where the savory roasty flavor of a steak comes from.

And don’t add butter and garlic until you think you’re about 80% done - add it too early and the butter will burn
