Couple questions!
Alright I got my shipment a couple weeks ago and was waiting on a new oven to give it a go. Had a great experience with it on two reverse-sear 2in ribeyes, but I think I'm being a bit overcareful.
can I leave it in during the sear, are there special cautions I should take?
seared my steaks with the probe out because I was afraid of damaging it, but noticed the channel in which it was stabbed had developed a grey section where I'm assuming there was hot oil ingress during the sear, or conductive heat ingress from the steel of the probe itself during the low-and-slow stage.
I couldn't help but become curious about the "Frozen Steak" technique in a few of Chris's videos, I know the probe has a good upper tolerance, but can it get too cold in a conventional freezer or in that ice-salt slurry and become damaged or void the warranty? Obviously I'd need the probe to already be inside the steak before freezing, because I don't anticipate I've got the Herculean strength required to drive the probe into an already-frozen steak.
Thanks for any feedback or insights!
