Nola,
Mind sharing the US price on the Poly Science? I may order through my US company and grab it when I'm down there

It's $799 USD new everywhere. I paid $650 (amazon, used once, no box). eBay has them for less, but I hate paypal, so I don't mind spending a little more to not give them my bidness.
The model CT has is $499 (Centex got a good deal on that). There are a couple of models that are in the $1000+ range.

I think the one you have is the one to go to. I think it is every bit as good as the scientific maybe minus some functions that wouldn't be required in culinary. I like the idea of being able to do larger volume and the less counter space.

Damn I got logged out of the forum twice in the past 20 minutes. WTF?!
Yeah, the pump on the model I'm getting moves twice the water the lower model does, but the heating element is the same, I think 1100 watts or so. I'm not gonna be boiling 32 liters of water, but I might be doing some turkeys.

Steven - you're referring to the monster-capacity of the sous vide head? Yeah, if you're stocking up for end-of-days, that unit will cook massive quantities of the finest meats. Which I will gladly pay you for on Thursday.....

No man. Just thinking of doing pork bellies and poultry and the like for long periods of time and having them ready to go for schoolnights etc

The pump on this unit is overkill... I actually have to close both valves halfway because otherwise I have water droplets splashing everywhere. The newer (less expensive) version is a better option in my opinion. The only other feature that is not available on the newer version is the power failure alert (which is not that important because all clocks on the kitchen appliances will start blinking in case of power failure...)nolaegghead said:Damn I got logged out of the forum twice in the past 20 minutes.

You just have to watch evaporation if you're doing long cooks. I believe that unit has a low water level alarm. These funky balls help out a bunch.

no man. improvise. Just get some packing peanuts, not the ones made out of corn starch, the ones that kill birds. Float them on top and you're good as gold.

Yeah, Steven, you should buy the cheaper one so I have at least one thing better than yours.

Being able to use different size baths would be ideal so there is no doubt the poly-sci is much more flexible and better. I just wasn't sure how much I would use it so I went the best of the cheapest that I could find. I'm happy with it but see the value in the better unit now that I understand it.Keepin' It Weird in The ATX FBTX -
I hate when these threads go sideways . Is there a newer version of the PS sous vide one or are you guys talking about something else? You already have many things better than me eg. weather, boudin, tasso, andouille, crawfish, culture and a more fun lifestyle. These are things that mone can't buy

It is actually a new model that came out a month ago (or so). They used to have 2 models, they now have 3.Little Steven said:I hate when these threads go sideways .

@paqman - yeah, that's the stuff I'm talking about.
I think CT has this http://www.amazon.com/SousVide-Supreme-Electric-Vacuum-Cooker/dp/B004CNT3M2/ref=sr_1_2?s=home-garden&ie=UTF8&qid=1351814116&sr=1-2&keywords=sous+vide

Thank you pagman. I like you way better than that NOLA guy. Can't get a straight answer no way. The last time I researched the middle unit was the one I decided on.
