Just started using a 'sous-vide' machine to cook frozen, boneless chicken breasts, then slice them. Going to try it with that turkey as well. The machine has no bells and whistles (no app or anything) and was $80 on Amazon.
The chicken comes out really moist. You can throw dry-rub in the ziploc bag to add flavors. Had tried different cooking methods but the result this way has been the best.
Price comes to a fraction of store-cooked or deli meat. Helps the budget if you have a teenager doing school sports.
God I wish I had the kitchen space for one! Been begging the wife to let me get a smoker. Being able to smoke a ham or turkey breast and then turn it into cold cuts would be awesome.
We may be talking about different things. The sous-vide thing is like a slightly larger immersion hand-mixer. Doesn't take much space. It comes with a clip so it hangs off the side of a large kitchen pot full of water and plugs into power. There are fancier models that come with their own big plastic tubs and apps. But the basic one works on any container (besides, I just saw one of the popular brands looking to charge a subscription fee for using their app. Screw that!)
The temperature stays fairly tepid and constant since the device has its own heating element and a little internal propeller to move the water around. The food goes into freezer ziploc bags with the air squeezed out. Afterward, you can sear it in a pan or broiler but if slicing, there's no need.
Now that you mention smoking, I'm wondering what it'll be like to add a few drops of liquid smoke...
My bad, I was under the impression that you had gotten a slicer and were sous videing and slicing the meat with a deli slicer! I thought you meant the slicer was $80.
I remember seeing a while back a small, collapsible meat slicer that folds into a box shape. Just googled it. Made by SuperHandy, but no longer for sale on Amazon. May be available elsewhere. One place had it listed for 75 british pounds (around $100). FWIW, saw a used one on EBay for $65.
If you do get one, stay away from Traeger. They were sold to some Chinese company years ago and are extremely overpriced garbage now.
