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. |

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! --Lisa |

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 |

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. Amy |
