I was thinking about this controller to, but for twenty more bucks you could get the Dorkfood controller.

No, I didn't take any pictures.  So back off on the Unicorn comments!!

I took one of the rib eyes from the original package and and ran it through the crock pot this evening.  This time I left it in "sous vide mode" for 2 hours.  I only added Kosher salt to the steak before searing in a smoking hot iron frying pan, 2 minters per side.  This was much improved over the original cook, by a factor of 100.  My wife even thought it was better than last time.  There are 3 slices left.  Just enough for steak and eggs in the morning.

The extra time in the crock pot was definitely worth it.  I removed the package from the cork pot and let it sit for an hour in the refrigerator before I seared it on the stove.  I will be doing this again.
