I use different containers now for different cooks but my favorite is my Coleman cooler. I can load it with water and ice, put the vacuum sealed meat in the water. I monitor the ice bath all day until I am ready to start the cook. The ice bath keeps it below 40º usually between 33º - 35º...

I got 250 of the little balls. They work pretty well for a cover.

DVR isn't available where I live. Low budget municipal owned cable company and worse, I am outside of the city limits. We get everything last. I bought an HDhomerun and set up a Plex server on an old computer. I love it.

How difficult is that to clean?

It may be assembled in China, I won’t know until arrives but it is fulfilled by Amazon. Two day free delivery.

Now that is something that I had not considered but will be very careful.

Yes, I also paid far more than $29 for my Anova. I love mine. I have used it for pork chops, steak, chicken, and bacon. The Joule app gave me the idea to put bacon in for an overnight cook or longer. Due to some scheduling issues we wound up making it a 36 hour cook. We seared one side as...

I came across a sous vide immersion precision cooker for $29 on Amazon. Is it any good? I do not know until mine arrives in two days. I am not an affiliate nor am I selling them. Just sharing a $29 deal that I found. Remember that Amazon has a 30 return policy, this is a fulfilled by Amazon...

We have two Aerogardens and love them. When it comes to time to move the plants to the greenhouse we get exited because we can pick what to grow next.

When it was just me cooking for myself an d two little girls, too often I got outvoted and we ate out. Now I’m cooking for a family. And I love it.

We have a single induction burner. We use it for cooking on the island when we do not want to tie up the stove.

A new toy to look into, thanks.

Toys... I would love to go in there for a while. Can I take souvenirs?
