If there's any difference, it's minor. Seems like you're on the right path to convincing "The Boss." My advice is to pounce before that one is gone. Each KK is unique. The next one might not match as well - another selling point for The Boss.

De Nada!

For most of us, the Anova is the "gold standard" for home units. It's definitely worth the extra bucks IMHO. My nephew has only used his once so far, so I can't compare them as far as ease of use, reliability, etc. This is the Anova 2.0 version. Most of us have the original. This one has a major improvement, and NO, it's not the Bluetooth part! It's the adjustable height clamp. Allows a lot more flexibility in what size pots/containers you can use with it.

Most of us here that have immersion circulators have the Anova. We all like them a lot and they're not terribly expensive. Saw them for under $100 during the Christmas sales. I just got this one for my nephew for his birthday. He's just getting started with sous vide cooking, so I went with a less expensive one. https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B01M6AZ8CL

As I recall, you Aussies have some of the most poisonous spiders and snakes on the planet. Please keep them down there!

I don't even pretend to be anywhere near that handy with power tools and we won't even talk about being able to weld.

About to put a strip steak in the sous vide for dinner tonight. Best part - using the jus in the bag to season the sauteed mushrooms to go on top! @MacKenzie - chicken came out very nice. Again, best part was using the jus in the bag to season the sauteed kale - wicked!

Hard to tell. You're dependent upon the quality of monitor you're viewing them in and there's no close up shots.

Gotta figure out a way to get me some of that! Gonna try your suggestion for the Bush Tomato seasoning on a Hasselback potato for dinner tonight.

Nice lamb, Garvin. Next time try oregano instead of the cilantro as the substitute for the mint.

They just posted a new section on their website - Recipe Series. There's a chart in there for the different styles of brewing and the corresponding grind sizes. For espresso, they say to use the 250 and 500 micron set of sieves. https://www.kruveinc.com/pages/recipe-series

Understand the "over served" part!

I actually ordered the 2 pack, since I only do Aero Press and don't need the extra fine ones for espresso. @Syzygies - as you probably saw, those sizes are all in microns. There's a video that shows how you can use them to "calibrate" your grinder.

If you get to the Asheville, NC area, check out the new Sierra Nevada brewery there - it's stunning! The HVAC ductwork in the bar is all copper, as are their pot brewery tanks in the above shot. Crazy! The patio area out back is just as insane as the rest of the place! Plus, they have a big natural amphitheatre for doing live music, too! Check out the big ass firepit on the patio - it's about 10ft in diameter. And don't even get me started on the crazy beers that they ONLY have at their taproom there!

@MacKenzie - ride share? Love me some Gyros! Gotta get that straight rod rotisserie skewer to do some and some chicken Shawarma, too!

Seriously tasty looking cluck dinners, both.

My thoughts were, from the current inventory, was the Dark Terra Blue, because it matches the pavers on your patio. http://komodokamado.com/collections/32-big-bad-komodo-grills/products/32-big-bad-dark-terra-blue-a6451k Second choice, my personal favorite, is the Dark Autumn Nebula. I think it would work well on your patio with the olive/gold. http://komodokamado.com/collections/32-big-bad-komodo-grills/products/32-big-bad-dark-autumn-nebula-a6341h-eta-early-sept-1

Wish that I'd gotten in on that Kickstarter.

Lucky Bastards! It snowed here last night. No "in and out of the pool all day" here - well, maybe the hot tub later! Happy Australia Day, Mates! Time for a brewski, myself!

Indeed. Doing a couple of peri-peri chicken breasts for dinner tonight. Given that it snowed last night, I'm gonna wuss and do them Sous Vide with a pan sear.

Both times, we were doing it "traditional" as shots - “gun bae!” I have also mixed it into various cocktails - watermelon seems to come to mind, as does apple juice. It's been a couple of years ago.

Happy Australia Day, mate! I use simple All Purpose (AP) flour for the smoker pot. Just be careful and don't get it too watery. My "drama" is sometimes I miss a spot mixing it up in the zip bag and get a glop of dry flour spit out when I pipe it onto the smoker pot lid. Tip - I always do this over the sink, as I generally make a big mess piping it out.

Good thing you live down under, Aussie! Treading on thin ice there (pun intended) - LOL!!

What a trooper!
