I was just at the appliance store with my mom, she needed a new stove. This particular store has a sort of mini-mall of high end shops, one of which sells cooking gear. There was a sous-vide heater-circulator on sale there for about $300. From lab equipment to high-end kitchen toy to effectively affordable gadget in less than three years. I guess I'll have to get one before they show up at Walmart. Not that I shop at Walmart, mind you.

The one I purchased through the Kickstarter campaign was only $199. It should be here in November - I'm definitely looking forward to it.

I am waiting for the Kickstarter one as well. I can't wait to try the lemongrass poached fish in it.

I did the earlier kickstarter for the Nomiku, which just started shipping. I am also looking forward to diving into something more than salmon, which is all I have tried on the stove top.

My Nomiku is shipping, only a year late. Well, 10 months. But anyway, it is in their warehouse (in China) and will be on it's way to me in a few days.

What does everyone recommend I try first, other than eggs and steak?

Happy dance!

I need a cookbook I think. The timing is so different than traditional cooking. Do you recommend Under Pressure, Modernist Cuisine or something else? I know I can find tons of recipes online but there are only so many sources I actually trust.

My local Sam's has huge Caribbean lobster tails... maybe I will start there.

I have to say the veggies sound good, too.

Lisa,

Actually, I'd recommend googling times for most things or asking those of us here who regularly SV. The cookbooks out there are geared to high-end restaurant applications, except maybe Baldwin, but he puts me off for some reason. While it may seem daunting at first, once you've gone through a few cooks (especially the long ones like pork belly, brisket, short ribs, etc.) you'll feel more comfortable.
