Yes; overnight, about 18 hours with three water changes. I haven’t cooked it yet, but will leave it in the oil overnight (because I don’t feel like dealing with it tonight) , then go with 110 f. for 30 minutes.
I bought 3 kinds of salmon from Truefish, and will try the miso cure on one of those too.
I think these must have been previously frozen, since they have July dates. I do wish they responded to emails.
With those times, I start to wonder how much the power would cost. I checked my online power bill today, and my 3.5 hour 325F braise earlier this week raised my gas bill by $2.50 that day, roughly double my usual daily usage here in relatively temperate Berkeley (and oddly, the same as washing and drying one batch of laundry).
If that post is accurate, you’re using about 3-4 kWh for your meat. So, at current PG&E prices, a dollar or two, no big deal. Looks good, and the solar panels probably do help.
My braise was in a gas oven, 325F for 3.5 hours. The gas costs the same at all hours.
Save some $ and get or make an insulated SV container. I converted one medium-small cooler by hole-sawing through the lid, and made a plexi insert for a medium-large one. You hve to mind the Min and Max water levels is all.
Resist the temptation to buy large numbers of pingpong balls…

On electricity? How much will I save?
I use one of those plastic cambros, and it has a fitted cover. I haven’t cut the cover to fit yet; as you can see in the picture, I added a bit of plastic wrap. It has an alarm when it gets to min; added water after about 22 hours.
I’m not sure, but it’s pretty obvious that a pot or your Cambro bleeds a lot of heat that would be contained by an insulated vessel. If you try it both ways, you’ll see how more often the circulator powers on.
I’m sort of chilly, so I don’t think it’s heating the house, but I have reams of this stuff I might be able to use. They are from various fresh and frozen food deliveries
I think the author’s methodolovy and calcs are off, but the general points are valid.
If you have surplus bubble wrap, that’s a good use for it. Using it for a cover can be a drippy, leaky mess, tho.
An unstated advantage of going the cooler route is that it shortens the time needed to preheat the bath. And depending on what you’re using for a rack or weights, more surrounding space for better circulation.
