I posted to indicate where this case from, not whether there were (or are not) deleterious effects from this.

Personally, I think the link is unproven between plastics and anything.  Most of the "link" was done through epidemiological studies, which are open to wide interpretation and are complete crap in most instances.  I have not changed my plastic usage one iota because of this information.

I just think it's funny that many New Age people worry about plastics, and then this New Age blog pushes a plastic-bag cooker.

You are out of your element here, this thread is about your second cousin, the chicken,,, not turkey Turkey.

Cutlets can be made in many ways however for me a good basic cutlet with Italian[ real not store bought] breadcrumbs.
  Mix 2 cups plain breadcrumbs [ from the Italian bakery or equal] Add 2 tablespoons roughly chopped parsely, 6 tablespoons Romano grating cheese, 1 large clove of garlic finely minced a pinch of Thyme and S&P to taste. Easy on the salt because the cheese is salty. Mix very well with your hands and set aside covered for an hour.
  Then scramble some eggs and coat cutlets [ no flour]. Again let sit for an hour. Then dip egged cutlets in breadcrumb mixture and fry in EVOO. Make some garlic mashed potatoes, peas and onions and salad Enjoy.
  BTW you can use this recepie for chicken Parm as well. The key is the breadcrumb mixture.

Another simple killer dish is marinating the chicken parts in Mojo overnight. Dry well and barbaque it to your likin over coals. One whole bottle of Goya or homemade mojo adding hot sauce to taste and a half cup EVOO.

It's nice you can amuse yourself so easily.

There's lots of great ways to prepare chicken, but my favorites are Coq au Vin, Chicken Wellington & plain ol' fried chicken.  After that I'd pick Chicken Marsala (basically like you'd do Veal Marsala but with chicken), then probably Chicken Curry or General Tso's Chicken.  The fried chicken is great soaked in buttermilk overnight, then double dipped.  Mmmm, making me hungry!

BTW, if I get my Sous Vide Supreme with my tax refund I want to try cooking the chicken sous vide, then frying it.  IIRC that's how Keller does it at Ad Hoc.

Not as cool or high-tech, but you can do the same thing by wrapping the chicken well in plastic wrap and putting it in 170 degree water for half an hour. I've done it and it works out very well. You're just trying to allow the heat to get into the chicken slowly so you negate the need to fill the cavity. It also comes out a bit juicier. Marco Pierre White discusses this method in "The devil in the kitchen"... great book, if you haven't read it  btw.

Looking good Phil.

I am not going to take this too far of track but I work with extractables and leachables for the biotech industry. They are real and quantafiable. Are there health concerns?  Who knows but the less chemicals I ingest the better. Also that cooking method falls into the extractables catagory. Meaning the chemicals are extracted with heat or other conditions.

Sous vide cooks with such low heat (140 on the very top end) that I'm not too concerned.  I haven't seen any evidence that food grade plastic used in this way poses any significant health risk- we're talking, in most cases, less heat than a bottle of Pepsi endures in storage.  Of course, I could be wrong, but something's gonna get you in the end anyways.   We're surrounded by a shells of plastic, not to mention the fact that we bathe daily in an ocean of microwaves, RF radiation & other forms of industrial by-products to such a degree that it would be hard to tell what did us in.
