I have very LSVIQ, but why would it need bluetooth and/or WIFI?

yeah, it's very much like having a crock pot w/ a remote control. completely unnecessary. that said, why not?

Someone told me a story about how he took 12 hours to make a piece of carrot cake once with his SV.  He said it tasted great.

It's amazing.  Use the small mason jars and you have individual servings ready to go.  Easily one of my favorite things to sous vide.

If you have Wifi you can easily remote start at a certain time. This allows you to leave something in an ice bath in the morning, and remote start cooking from work in the afternoon. Low temp cooking extends the window of time something is "done" in, but doesn't necessarily make it long enough to leave on all day.  Some protein and collegens start to denature after a certain time held at a certain temperature, making all day cooking undesirable for some cuts of meat. Best example I have is chicken cooked over 4 hours which gets very odd textured.

sous vide-ists will also go out of their way to tell you how great the ice cream they make tastes

I sous vided grilled cheese and tomato soup.

All at once in the same bag.

Best grilled cheese and tomato soup I've ever had.

Sous vide has its place.

I think it's great for certain deserts and batch cooking.  I like to batch cook chicken breasts and thick chops for work week lunches.

This is another question i have:

How do you cook multiple things at once?  Say I want to cook 4 chicken breasts.  Do I put them all in the same bag?  Different bags?  Does it matter?  Do I have to readjust the temperature?  Does it matter if it's steak and not chicken?

1. Yes, you can place it all in the same bag as long as the breasts are not overlapping each other and they all stay beneath the water line.  I bought a deep rubbermaid container that allows me to clip several bags to each side if need be.  https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000VARW8C/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o07_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1

2. No need to adjust the temp once it's set.  You set your temp based on the type of food and the thickness.  I have a Joule that uses a pretty slick app.  It offers suggestions on recipes and temps, but you can always find a recipe online and manually enter a temp.  You just set it and wait until the timer goes off on your phone.  https://www.chefsteps.com/joule/app

Also, the app shows you several temperature options depending on the level of doneness you want, so you can get really precise with it.

Local farm fed T bone off the traeger with sweet potatoes and asparagus tonight.  The simplest meals are the best.

Hot damn Tom. Eating perfectly cooked T bones off of silestone isn’t just a simple meal. It’s a high class high roller meal a stud like you does just for fun.

Because pressure cookers are awesome and I guess the instapot takes away the "I'm scared to use a pressure cooker" aspect of them.

Saves a lot of cabinet space.  I'm excited to put my pressure cooker, rice cooker, and slow cooker in storage.

Just got one last week. One hour to perfect beef roast and veggies. Looking forward to more delicious meals.
