    Joule Tripping GFI

    I was about 30 minutes into sous vide of two large London broils for a dinner party. My Joule tripped the GFI! I tried another circuit with the same results. Instantaneous tripping GFI. I was now in panic mode with a lot of heated meat and several hours away from dinner. I quickly got them in the oven to braise in tomatoes. I never long cooked this cut, but in this instance I had no choice. My instincts were correct, they were dry and tough. I sliced them, put them back in the pan, added beef broth and butter and simmered on the cooktop for about 30 minutes. It came out pretty good. I was amazed I was able to rescue that beef.
    Breville was responsive and is replacing the Joule.

    Water intrusion in the gadget?

      I’m not sure, my guess is the heating element. Usually you get some indication like smoke or odor. I had none of that.

      Sounds like you took it in the shorts. And saved the party.

      Yes extremely overdone. Still it was tasty.

    Nice recovery after some drama. Glad to hear you got a good customer service response from Joule. I’ve got one also and hope to never experience a problem but if I do, I’ll expect the same level of service.
