Hi there! I had been ogling Joule for months, wouldn't stop talking about it to my SO, and low and behold what was under the Christmas tree but my precious darling! (Joule, not SO)
So far I am absolutely in LOVE. I have made so many chicken breasts (90% of our regular protein so not unusual), a tri tip (got my dad to admit "boiled meat" is delicious with that, he wants more), chocolate pot du creme, and burgers last night. Everything has been awesome and I look forward to expanding my repertoire. I have just a few questions though
1) Last night my SO got home before I did. I asked him to stick Joule in the pot and plug her in so I could turn her on on my way home from work. I couldn't connect even though I have most definitely left my house before with Joule running and still been able to stay connected. So, my question is, if I want to do this again (start remotely), so I need to plug her in before I leave while my phone is still in range? Or am I just kidding myself that I checked her from the road previously? It worked out last night, he grabbed my iPad and set her up but for the future I'd like to be able to do it in case he's not home. (I would set up with frozen meat in an ice bath in the morning, start Joule to preheat around 1 or 2 pm, let cook/sit until I got home at 5:30pm)
2) Is there a way to save a cook as a favorite or make it a "preset"? For example I tried the preset temps for chicken, and while they were good I tested a few other temps, one of which we decided we liked best. I can remember right now (154), but I worry in the future I will forget which temp and time was the favorite when I go through my cooking history.
3) More of a rhetorical question/reqeust - When are they going to add more of their SV recipies to Joule! I feel I'm quickly running out of new things to try! :-D
Thanks all, sorry for the loooong post!
