No pictures but I had perfectly medium rare sous vide sirloin with boiled veggies in alfredo sauce.
I also have larger steaks already in bags for lunch with friends tomorrow.
Loving the Anova, do much easier, faster and more accurate. In particular like how the app adjusts for steak thickness.
I don't believe Merida is available in the US and I have never seen one. I would bet they are pretty good. These days most bikes are pretty good. I would find some professional reviews.
Think I am going to stick with the slow cooker and temperature controller for a few months and at least wait until there is some great deal on one of the real machines.
Interesting I rode Pro 3 for a bit but much preferred the 4000s. On the test bench they roll better and corner better but if you don't like the feel....
Also I do find they feel a but weird at first before they get some miles/kms in them.
Yup all true and entirely understood before purchasing the temperature controller (I already owned the pot). That said, as of right now I am doing 2 steaks which fit easily and I used a thermometer to check the consistency and it seemed reasonably good (+/- 1 degrees) everywhere I looked. If I really like the outcome I will likely just invest in an Anova or similar rather than add a circulation pump.
It's an experiment and I am having fun with it.
