    Did you make sure to don some black nitrile gloves and give it a good squeeze to get rid of all those pesky flavor juices?

    Kidding of course… Looks good! I’ve done 3 or 4 full packers and struggle to get both the point and flat to come out the way I want. Wrapping helps, but it’s definitely not trivial!

    If I have parts that come out tough/dry, I like to vacuum seal and freeze them for next time I make chili.

    Fattier bits can be good chopped up and fried quickly in a cast iron skillet for tacos (fry just long enough to let some of the fat render and crisp up kinda like carnitas)






  • I’m going to admit that I rolled my eyes a bit when I clicked on the photo because the plating and small portion size seemed a little pretentious. But then I clicked into the comments and saw OP was a pretty chill dude/dudette who was just excited about something nice they made, and promptly felt like a judgy asshole.

    Anyway, this looks objectively nicer than 99.5% of what I eat and probably tastes delicious, so nice job and sorry if you caught any subconscious negative vibes!
