Sous vide steak tonight, with a slice of chocolate fudge cake for afters. 57C for two hours, think that makes it a medium (the steak, not the choccy cake).

Pizza craving tonight - soon enough fixed.... 

Each time I cook one of these I'm finding myself loading more and more toppings on it. Seems to crisp up ok nonetheless.

So this was pepperoni, sausage balls, bacon, green chilli, red pepper, onions, sweetcorn, grated & whole mozzarella. Cooked on a Teflon mesh straight on the oven shelf. The heat gets under it that way. Base was no knead dough and the pizza sauce is my own imitation dominos / AN other American pizza place replica.

Some good looking food there.

I'll have to try a Sous Vide steak Sverige, everyone raves on about them. What Sous Vide do you have?
As for the pizza, you'd get on well with the missus. Not enough room for the stuff she wants on her's  ;D :-\

And that curry looks great Naga.

Lemon rubbed chicken thighs tonight for me.

Too true, Gav! There's just too many decent dishes posted here to comment on, but I frequently take a tour of the thread lif I'm looking for meal-time inspiration. Brilliant idea from Rich! :)

I just use an old slow cooker and control it with an Arduino project which I found online. Since I had the slow cooker already I just needed to buy a few bits - arduino nano, push buttons, led module, relay and temperature probe.  Components are crazy cheap these days and I think I spent less than $15 from Banggood for everything. It maintains a temperature within 0.5C most of the time, so as good as the overpriced posh ones.

I finished the steak with a blow torch but made the mistake of not wiping off the pepper first, so I had some burned black pepper taste. Won't make that mistake twice. It's certainly an interesting technique and opens some new possibilities. Despite the name sous vide (under vacuum) you don't need to invest in a vacuum sealer - just use ziplock bags and allow water displacement to chase the air out of them.

Steps 5&6 on this page cover it:

That's given me a serious case of the curry munchies. Nice looking curry.
