Recipe videos

I really enjoy my joule and all of the information on chefsteps. I was curious though if you will be releasing any more videos anytime soon? I find it easier sometimes to watch how the techniques are performed rather than reading the recipes. Thank you.

You'll have better luck emailing them directly. They really don't come to the forum anymore, unless something gets reported.

People have been asking about this for over a year. They keep saying "soon," but keep not delivering anything except new colors of Joule and pre-made sauces. I wouldn't hold your breath. I'd love to be proven wrong. I'd just love it.

My gut/armchair analysis says (and I have been here from nearly the beginning) that Joule was wildly successful...beyond anyone's original estimates. Look, if you follow Grant on social media, the guy has been living the life for the last year plus. I don't get the sense that there is a need for full time employment, let alone the need to be the star of locally produced, you-tube distributed, cooking videos. Kudos to him and Chris.

The strategy of building a community of modernist-influenced home cooks at the outset was brilliant. However, ChefSteps is a technology company. I get the sense that the follow through regarding videos and technique, several years later, is simply not worth it economically. The company has moved on. My uninformed guess is that there is some other technology in the pipeline. I wouldn't hold my breath on new website or forum content. Again....an uniformed guess. They've produced quality stuff. I hope I am wrong.

The hopeful part of me keeps thinking that the success of Joule will allow them to subsidize their content team and keep coming out with... content. Or that the horde of new Joule users would bring in enough Premium customers to help fund new Premium content. Or that Grant's Instagram feed could give the content team enough new ideas to translate them into some new recipes. Or something.

Agree, but media company vs. technology company... I would guess the investment is in tech. They are savvy. They know who accesses what. I think we (users of the community board and other media) are in the minority, as compared to the overall (potential) consumers of their product(s).

Reality: There are only a handful of us who have been here (on this board) from the get-go...no?

I gotta hand it to you old timers; you and Brandon really have the "stick-with-it" attitude. I spent about year or two on this form (till Joule sous vide the life out of it). I return every so often to see if any good/new content is posted but usually find tumbleweeds and cob webs. I thought you might find this interesting:

It is odd how plans change when reality rises up to meet you...

Yes, I agree with you in that.
