Title: Cheap way to try Sous Vide
Post by: hughver on November 06, 2018, 10:35:44 AM

Today only, Meh.com is offering two 800W Sous Vide circulators for $49. They are almost surly cheap Chinese knock offs but it's a way to try Sous Vide without breaking the bank. I purchased two of these so that I can cook meat, starch and vegetables in parallel.

I did a "hillbilly" sous vide to see if I liked what it would produce as a test run before I purchased my Anova

crockpot filled with hot water and a digital (Bluetooth) thermometer
vacuum sealed tri-tip roast (seasoned)

I had the alarms on my phone set to 130/35
when it went off,  I'd switch the crock pot between low/med (I was probably adjusting it every 20-30 min) while I was working on a college paper

it turned out pretty well,
the next month,  I ordered my Anova
