My homemade Sous Vide kit
« Reply #-1 on: January 08, 2017, 12:07:13 AM »
    I Sous Vide two T-bone steaks about one inch thick for 75 minutes at 53C or 127F. Seared in a hot cast iron pan after. Tender and juicy. Half way between rare and med rare like I like them.




  I made my own Sous Vide with a temp controller, a dvd case out of an old computer, a plug, and some wires for about $20.
The crock pot plugs in to it and it keeps temps within 3 degrees. Works great.

"Vegetarian" is an old Indian word for bad hunter.

EXCELLENT!...And - you can find out what the max. wattage you controller will handle - and control the temp. in a large roaster - ( turkey size...) or other devices. SO - you have MORE flexibility with his than any other Sous Vide design!

This controller is used for brewing beer. It will run a refrigerator or a heater. Even calibrates the probe for you.
From China for about $15. Takes about 5 minutes to wire it up.
