Hi, my name is Denise and I just got my first sous vide. I want to cook a turkey breast and I've decided to go with 145 degrees for 2.5 hours. If I put it on when I'm home for lunch and won't be home again for about 3.5 hours, will the turkey be okay? Does it just shut off and my turkey will be sitting in cooling water for an hour? Is this okay? I can't wait to try this method of cooking!

Hi Denise and welcome to the forum! You’ll be fine for extra time. The beauty of sv is that you have a lot of headroom with time after it’s reached temp. It doesn’t have an automatic shutdown feature for this reason. Some veg like asparagus need to come out on time though, some fish might also fall into this category. Larger cuts of protein are very forgiving. Give it a good sear after the cook and enjoy! Post some pics

I agree with pd3ski. Joule will not turn off unless you turn it off....just for clarification though, the tool is an immersion circulator. The technique is sous vide...although, even that is technically not correct. Sous vide means "under vacuum". Most of the time we are not cooking under vacuum...just letting the product cook in a water bath.
