A few years ago someone posted a recipe for cooking beef tenderloin that called for finishing it in a cooler. I have done a search on here but cant find it. Anyone use this method?

I saw that method but am not interested in using hot water. Thanks though.

are you talking about cooking them rare and resting them in a tempered hd insulated cooler? ..or is there more to it going on inside the cooler?

Can't put it in a yeti cooler. It'll make too much ice and cool it down too quick!

haha. Seriously though, I am not sure about a tenderloin at 125 or 130ish, but a boston butt resting at close to 200 for a few hours will crack a yeti or any other rotomolded cooler that seals worth a crap.

I cook my ducks like that. Basically cook it on the grill till it gets rare. Wrap in foil and drop in the Minno-therm cooler. It will continue to cook some and be so juicy your head will spin.

^^^that's what i'm talkin'bout! i've seen people do it with steaks when cooking for large groups (du, dw, school events), but they don't wrap them just toss em in the cooler and shut the lid tight...and the ones in the bottom of the cooler are the absolute best! bathing in warm steak juices...yuuummmm

My BIL cooked a whole tenderloin on the grill today that that was fine.

I'll 2nd what donia said about the steaks in the cooler and the ones on bottom being the best.

Did a judge fine a defendant an amount of money the defendant agreed to and some MSDuckers think the judge and LE are the bad guys? Off topic but maybe we can get this topic up to 7+ pages.

He was going to take it up the butt either way...they gave him a choice on whether or not to use lube.
