You mean to tell us that you are cooking foods in plastic bags under water to have an even cook for the food?

No. The water will naturally circulate due to natural convection by temperature differences in the water. And a crock pot heats pretty evenly along the bottom so as long as I don't overfill the thing I should be good.

I was just running a auto-tune with the PID to get it to "learn" the way the crock pot heats water. No food in there yet.

The PID is my old one out of my PTG and the crock pot is an old one that my wife does not use. My initial investment is $0 ;)

If it works good then I will get a project box to put the PID in to make things proper. I also wired the PID with a electrical plug so any crock pot or cooker can just plug right in.

So I think my first try will be a dry-aged steak this weekend with a finish sear on the grill.

Watching this one.

Seems there are at least three "Mad Scientists" on this site.  Muebe, Tenpoint5, and TMB.  Gotta love the outside the box thinking/cooking!!

OH! - you wanted us to guess what you were doing! I thought you were just practicing the "chain jerk" on me.... :D

So how are going to get the charcoal - or wood smoked flavor in there??? 8)

I am thinking some cold smoke with milt's beer hop pellets before Sous Vide cooking the steak. Maybe a 125F water temp then a quick finish sear on the grill.

Just wonder how many hours I should go with a one inch thick steak and if 125F is a good temp.

Saw once where somebody went 4 days with beef short ribs. The end pictures were some of the sexiest food porn I have ever seen.

Good luck......we are all counting on you ???
