Commercial units cost 1200.00 plus from what I understand. This was 700.00 at Williams-Sonoma. If it becomes more mainstream maybe the prices will get more affordable.

Here's something that could make it on the cheap:

Will work pretty well with just a slow cooker.
Or, if you are handy:

In a similar vein, I've been trying oil poaching at 145 in a slow cooker. Works pretty well, altho needs a little stirring. Most of the meat's water stays sealed in the meat, and the thin coat of oil really helps crisp up at the finish with a few minutes in the Egg. -
funny that you say that. I was just thinking of pulling out the slow cooker and seeing what the temp it cooked at.

That is a great kit.
Purchased one last week for $200.00 from buy.com.
Bazinga...LOL
DarianThank you,DarianGalveston Texas -
The newer ones are hotter than the old. The older ones' "warm" setting held the food at 140. The newer ones are at least 145, with low being closer to boiling.
I've also bought a small "cheap" countertop induction burner. Being "cheap" (about $180), it doesn't heat to the listed temps. 120 is more like 130. And, the instructions are in a character I can't read, so I've never been able to figure out the timer. Nevertheless, its proved pretty nice. But the heat flux does change very rapidly, and if I catch something getting too hot, above a slow boil, for instance, I can drop it to no bubbles in just a second or two. -
Had a chance to try it yet?

No, don't have one.
It was a joke, "bazinga".
Bad morning joke, sorry.

I am interested in that very same unit. It would have fantastic temp control for Mashing... :ohmy:This is the greatest signature EVAR!

Great setup! I recomend you try the carrots next time at 183°F... the asparragus on the other hand, in my experience cook better direct on the grill, or traditionally blanched...
cheers! -
That was a picture I took at the store. I wish I owned it. That was a sticker on top of the unit so it would look like it was on. The food was also fake.
-
whooops! my bad! hehe
cheers! -
I thought it was funny. They did have one going with real food in it. I felt weird taking a picture. I find at Williams-Sonoma, at best the employees have the personality of a dish rag.

Al,
You sure had me going too. :laugh: I just figured you sold a few thousand shirts and went a little nuts :woohoo: I'm all for gadgets, but WOW that's a lot for hot watah.
