    I've been to three hog killin's and four county fairs...

    ... and never thought I'd see something like this.

    I'm a big ThermoWorks fan, but this looks like a solution looking for a problem to me.

    If someone wants to give me one of them, I'll come up with a problem for it to solve.

      My thoughts exactly

    I've had the ThermaQ for a bunch of years, with the pit and meat probes. It's winner. A few month back I added the needle probe and tape. Haven't tried it yet, but I think the next time a big piece of pork goes into the SV, I will be.

    Nothing like making sure it's where you think it is!

      Lowjiber i just showed my little guy your post title, we love it!

      So I don't own nor I have I eaten SV food. So pardon my ignorance (I don't hesitate to display it w my Pit brethren)...

      if if you set the sv to 130 degrees, can one not assume the internal temp is 130 as well? I thought that was the purpose.

        With big pieces of meat, it can happen that the center doesn't get there if you run it for too short a time. Not usually a problem, because the big pieces tend to get cooked a long time.

      Kind of an old post...but I just found it...looking for something else. LOL

      Anyway...
      At first I thought the same...and in no uncertain terms said it was a stupid idea. Seriously. Why?

      Then I SV two steaks with one cooker...and needed them finished at two different temps.
      The SV probe was ordered shortly after.

      Set the SV device to the "most done" temp and get the first steak in the bath...sometime later, I can add the second and when it hits the desired temp I know they're both perfect.

      Obviously one probably shouldn't leave the first one at temp for hours before adding the second...but a little extra time won't harm it. Remove and sear as desired.

      Full disclosure: I still simply cook 99% of my steaks on the grill...but the SV machine is kind of a fun toy to have and just another tool to use. (Read: I'm not an expert at SV. Despite using them in a professional kitchen for a time.)
