Thanks to Jeff Potter of Cooking For Geeks, I’m building my own DIY Sous Vide rig with a thermostatic controller and an off the shelf cheap slow cooker.
Mains wiring is scary as heck though.
Work in progress. I have to get a couple more parts to make sure it’s safe before I’ll plug it in, but most of the guts are there. Needless to say I’ll be doing a lot of voltage checking before I touch this thing.
I think first up will be some sous vide salmon, then hit it hot and fast in a cast iron skillet for color and Maillard reactions on the outside. Should be one heck of a good time. More to come.
