The last of some prime rib meatballs in the toaster oven, have just finished cooking (meh.. were frozen, won't be buying them again). Starting to heat up some water for the last of the frozen mushroom ravioli. When those are done I'll toss them all together with a disgusting amount of butter and cheese. Haven't decided on which cheese I'll use but probably the closest one to my hand when I reach in the fridge.
Pesto basil chicken, garlic butter pasta, green beans, and fresh sourdough bread that I made earlier today.

He had the meal sized salad and I had a cozy bowl of 9 grain flakes w/wild blueberries. Black bean brownies for dessert.
I did the sous vide steaks with baked tater and salad.
Fun times, without hot water the water I put in the container for the water bath was 56F and had to let the immersion circulator heat it to 129F. That took a few minutes.

Squash with onions and bratwurst, cucumber sticks, and mandarin oranges for dessert.
Mentioned this to RR (I think??) Start some water on the stove or kettle to add to your vat for the s/v. Helps it go a lot faster.

I had so much stuff in the freezer day before yesterday that I had to take out a chicken bread, hamburger, and some drumsticks. The hamburger I made into meatloaf this morning. The chicken breast I ate last night. The drumsticks went into the crock pot with BBQ sauce and I had those for dinner. I was pretty full from meatloaf for lunch, so that's all I could eat. Now of course, I'm hungry so the dinner add-on at 11:30 at night is a tortilla with cheese in the oven. No wonder I don't lose weight.
I reheated the roast veg and some boiled potatoes in the microwave. I reheated the medister sausage meatballs in the toaster oven, and made a mushroom sauce for the taters and meatballs.

I thought about it. With the low gas pressure I am not sure it would have helped much. meh.
Oopsie, I was actually referring to an electric kettle for you. I should have said.
You could also just start with a small amount of water in your pot? slowly add more water as it heats? or maybe not, guess that would take just as long.

I have my SV circulator in a 12-quart SS stockpot. I put it on a stove burner and turn it on until the water temp gets close.
@Andy M. , what do you do for a lid on the pot you use for SV?
@FrankZ could you not also start yours in a pot on the stove WITH the S/V at the same time. When it reaches close, slop the hot water into the plastic one?
or not worth the effort/time/mess/frustration.

Don't know about Andy, but I purchased an after market silicone lid that fits the shape of my Anova and has spokes that stiffen the circle enough so it can fit up to a 12 inch pot.
And I like watching it all work away. Like having a gold fish aquarium....only without fish....Similar threads
