Personally, I'd skip the wifi and all that and get the cheaper Anova. 

Totally agree.

Cooked 20 this past weekend for our family reunion.  Everyone was blown away including my Cordon Bleu trained sis-in-law.  Youngsters didn't like the sea salt.  Will modify next time.

I've always skipped the sea salt. I'm a youngster.

The salt is for those with more refined palates.

It's the easiest and fastest way to whisk in eight yolks one at the time. You wish you had thought of it.

I crack them all in a bowl and pour in one at a time.  I guess it boils down to your skill set and whether or not you believe it will be ruined if 2 yolks go in at once.   You're killing the rain forest.

DoubleEgger

I crack all of them in the bowl and suck them out with this little doohickey. Works like a champ. No worse than using parchment paper on a pizza if you want to talk skills

Or you can suck them up in an empty water bottle, if you're so inclined.

LOL there is no planet in which this level of precision is required to make these things.  They always come out the same!

I've got 80 of these cups that's been sitting in the pantry for years. Might as well use them up.

That's what I used to do but the water bottles are so flimsy these days.

Flimsy like your techniques.

Unlike Brent, I was never a cook at McDonalds.

I just crack them in my hand and throw them all in a bowl together.

Worked my way up to 7:35.  They offered me a manager position if I'd stay and go to UL.  Laughed my way out the door.

Doing 20 original recipe CPdC for the family. Great stuff. 

Yup. I've got 30 planned for a party in a couple weeks. Will have to wait until the last minute to make them to avoid eating a half dozen. 

That's the most mucked-up backward thinking I think I've ever read on this site.  And that's saying a lot.
