There are special tapes or gums you can use so you that can stab a thermometer right through the bag. This could be nice if you're some kind of scientist with a probe thermometer.

I'm no kind of scientist but I have one of these. It's cheap, accurate and I can wander anywhere in the house and monitor the temperature of my food.

Anova have updated their store. 220 volt versions are available - non-USAians rejoice! Time to order me one!

I don't have an ice maker, so I stuck them in the freezer...

Somewhere at home I have a recipe for making ice with a freezer. Should I post it for you?

My Anova has arrived! And my week is so busy it probably won't get used before the weekend... then I think it'll be 63 degree eggs for breakfast and steak for dinner. Or ribs. So many things to choose from.

Just ordered an Anovo to Germany, hopefully the plug will fit...
My Anova shipped to Australia with an Australian standard plug on its cord so you'll probably be fine.

My Anova was ordered in late November and arrived in Melbourne Australia about 9 days later.

Upside-down dogcake should not be attempted anywhere outside Australia.
Well I am most definitely inside Australia and ready to attempt it. Should I sear the dogcake before or after turning it upside-down?

Duck breast. Lightly dusted with 5-spice powder. 2.5 hours at 55C. A couple of minutes skin-down on a hot skillet. Sauce of orange juice, Cointreau, sugar and stock reduced until thick enough. Pretty loving awesome. Makes me question quite a bit of the eating I did on my recent French vacation.

This isn't holding temp as well as I hoped. Suggestions for next time?

Plug it in.

I mean ones widely available on the internet and the other is a really old loving cookbook that most new cooks probably aren't going to look at even if it is an amazing book

I call it The Old Testament (McGee's On Food and Cooking is the new.)

As for salt, I usually use Maldon as my go-to salt and I still have to dial it back a bit in some of Kenji's recipes. They're not too salty to eat but they're often saltier than I'd like.
