    Total failure, I’ll help dispose of the evidence

    Looks nice. Flip every 30 seconds to reduce grey band is my only tip

    Maybe let it rest a bit longer before cutting, looking at the water on the plate.

    if you want a better crust, as other users have suggested, flip more often and maybe for longer. I’d also suggest that maybe you set the sous vide lower than 128 to account for the longer pan sear if you’re worried about it going over temp when working on the crust.
