#sous vide

I just had to share my latest kitchen fail. I've been eyeing those fancy sous vide machines for a while now, and I finally decided to give it a shot. I mean, how hard could it be, right? I set it up, placed the steak inside, and waited... but somehow I managed to mess up the timing and ended up with a piece of leather. Not exactly the tender, pink delight I was hoping for. As I was sitting there, staring at the burnt offering, I started thinking about the state of food prices lately. Have you guys noticed how much it's costing to eat out or even just buy decent ingredients these days? It's like the economy is playing a cruel joke on us. I swear, I remember when a decent steak used to be affordable. Now it's like they're charging us per Instagram-worthy plate. Anyone else feeling the pinch? What are your favorite cost-effective cooking methods? Share your tips, and maybe we can all learn to cook like pros without breaking the bank...

I've been having some issues with my sous vide machine when I'm trying to control it through certain apps on my phone. Specifically, the Anova app seems to cause my device to overheat after about 20 minutes of use. I've tried closing all other apps and background processes, but it still happens. Maybe it's just a bug with the app or my phone's thermals? I've also noticed that the Joule app doesn't seem to have this issue, so it might be specific to the Anova software. Has anyone else experienced this problem? I'm using a Samsung Galaxy S22, if that matters.
