So hopefully not sounding dumb but lets say I put a prime rid in this for whatever the approximate amount of time take it out and sear it, what does the actual meat look like is it a nice rosy pink or something else. Next question how many say ribeye steaks can I do at one time is it due to my container size or the limit to the device, I need a way to do bigger cooks than what my kamado will do if this will handle the job other than the searing part it beats shelling out 1200 to 1600 for another grill. Thanks for any and all info

How cooked it is depends on the temperature you set. So if you want rosy pink, that's where you set it. The beauty is that you can't over cook it. You can do a lot at a time and it mostly depends on your container size, but if it gets too big, the heater may not be able to keep up. Chef steps says joule can handle up to 40 gallons of water. That's a lot!

mgaretz I think you meant to say 40 liters or 10 gallons. At least that what I found on their FAQ page. customtrim if you end up with an Anova it is capable of 5 gallons.

Nope Dr ROK. 40 gallons. Got that here: https://www.chefsteps.com/activities...cook-sous-vide

Potkettleblack's picture shows what your final prime rib will look like. The picture shows one that appears to have been coated with an herb crust. You have to sear your roast after cooking it in the hot tub. The number of ribeye steaks you can cook will depend on the size of your water container and the rating of the circulator you purchase. The anova will handle up to 5 gallons. That's a pretty good sized container that will hold a butt load of steaks.

You shouldn't load your tub with more meat than water. 50-50 is about the peak for proper circulation.
So, 10 gallon container, 5 gallons of water, add meat. If you want to go larger, either Joule or two Anovas.

We have one of each, Joule and Anova. Haven't tried the Joule yet. Thinking on a dinner party, find out how everyone wants their steaks done. Cook to temperature the night before. For the dinner, re-heat the steaks together to 130 (since they're already cooked) then sear. Everyone will have steaks done to their liking and they'll come off the grill close together.

mgaretz not sure why, but the link you posted doesn't work for me? Is this an older webpage?
Here's where I found that the limit for Joule was 10 gallons in an insulated container and about 5 gallons in a standard container: https://support.chefsteps.com/hc/en-...s-too-crowded-

i saw this on there site
But Joule can go big too. The littlest sous vide tool can handle up to 40 gallons (150 liters) of water, with a depth of up to 8 inches (200 mm).
-
You are right, the "official" specs page says 10 gallons. The page I found is still there and clearly it says something different than the specs page. Click the Sous Vide link, then All About Sous Vide then scroll all the way to the bottom left and click What Containers Should You Use...

I have used my anova to cook 2 pork butts in a 50 quart cooler @165F. Because I didn't want to cut a hole in the top I covered the top with foil and beach towels to prevent evaporation and also to insulate. The joule has a larger heater than the anova so I would say that the better the insulation the bigger you could go.
As a caution, I did test my setup first before I put the pork in and it took quite a while for it to get up to temp. Also one of the bags broke during the overnight cook so make sure you have a place to dump 50 qts of pork water if necessary.
