For SPARKY...
« Reply #-1 on: January 15, 2015, 03:34:11 PM »
Tryin' to help Sparky make his way into the hot tub club...

The ANOVA Precision Cooker was my choice over the ANOVA One because is adjustable.  I am sending pics from this afternoon.  I used a 2 qt saucepan to cook an egg.  Adjusted the "collar" to hold it upright even in this small pan.  Then I took it straight from that pan to the much larger container with 6 1/2 quarts of water.  Therein I am cooking a NY Strip for supper tonite (more on that later)

Now, you asked me to cook an egg, so I put one in for the "fast finish" - 167* for 15 minutes.  See pics...the yolk was good for me, but the whites didn't set well enough at that temp.  In fact, some of the white wasn't cooked enuff to come out of the shell.  I'm sure on a longer cook at a lower temp you will get the ever-elusive "perfect egg".So, this is my offering and my armpit (opinion).
Here are the pics.

Who'da thunk?

The instructions for steaks, pork, and others are pretty straight forward. But eggs...? Wow!

Here you go - http://www.seriouseats.com/2013/10/sous-vide-101-all-about-eggs.html

Looking forward to the journey!

I doubt very seriously that I'll be using Suzy (my new name for her) to cook eggs for me...seems to be much faster and easier in the 2 qt pan without her.  And, face it, I'm not an egg snob - heck, I don't consider myself to be a food snob at any level.

Still just a backyard jack.

just sayin'...

Looking forward to the cook off.

I agree with Jack - I am pretty good with eggs in my pan or pot - look forward to SV for other stuff!

That's great news and you are probably the first and only one here with a Nomiku, it will be great to read your review on how this unit performs.   ;)
