Thinking of making the jump to Sous Vide

Art when you get your new SV device, and after your first meal, I'm quite certain that your initial thoughts will be similar to what my thoughts were. Namely....why didn't I do this sooner!
Congratulations my friend!

Tonight will be our forth sous vide meal, Rib Eye, and so far so good.

Been there and got the T-Shirt.

As I said, the small comparable size, no extra pieces and higher power of the Joule is the reason Sweetie wanted it instead of the other many fine sous vide products.
Picture of size comparison. 


PS. Also got it for $149 delivered.

Thanks everyone for he help with ideas and recommendations.

I purchased the ChefSteps Joule mainly because of it's small fit in a silver ware drawer size, 1100 watts of power and ability to heat 10 gallons which I guess could be an over kill.  I would like to have the temp and adjustment on the Joule but than it would be much larger and in our case smaller was more important.
The Joule phone app is a step by step cooking procedures and surprisingly Sweetie likes the concept .

Again thanks all

Congrats on the purchase!!

Love to hear about some of your cooks.

I have a 6 lb prime rib  I hope to cook with my Joule   but  its been way hectic,  might not have the 6+ hrs to cook it sous vide.

Would you sear it before or after sous vide?
