Set it up before work?

So, can you/does anyone set up the sous vide before work, say a frozen chicken in a vacuum bag, throw in some ice, and set the Joule on at 68 degrees F (lowest setting). And then, a couple of hours before returning home, switch it to your cook setting?

Probably no prob, just wondering what folks have done.

As a side question, I think the Joule eventually powers down after being inactive for awhile... Can you remotely turn the unit back on?

Use a 50% ice and 50% water, do not start Joule, do not set for 68°F. Just put the food in the ice bath, with Joule plugged in but not running. This should keep your food at or below 40°F for a good 6 or more hours. You can monitor the temperature with the Joule app. Then in the afternoon or when the temperature gets close to 40°F you can remotely start Joule using WiFi. If you started Joule at 68°F your food would be in the danger zone far too long to be safe to eat.

Or another way to do it is cook the chicken (or whatever) when you're home, over a weekend. Ice bath then toss it in the fridge. Set up the Joule so when you get home, you drop the cooked chicken (or whatever) into the water bath (set at a few degrees below original cooking temp) and reheat for 30-60 minutes. No fuss, no worries about killing yourself with buggies and time to get the rest of your dinner together!
