Sous vide probe

I'm looking to pasteurise a load of jars in a water bath but am struggling to find a reliable tool to monitor the temperature inside a test jar to ensure I’m holding the food for long enough.

I guess it's either going to have to be a Bluetooth device or I’m going to have to somehow hack the lid of a Mason jar to allow a traditional sous vide probe to be inserted. Anyone solved this conundrum already?

You don't need constant monitoring. You need to know how long it takes for the center of the food in the jar to reach the desired temp. Couldn't you do one experiment with a simple thermometer and timer, then use that as a baseline...keep the variables the same, then process your batch?

Hi,

As FrankM just mentioned. Modify one lid for a thermo couple. Monitor the temperature. This could be used for each batch if needed for confirmation, or just once if all beginning conditions are kept the same.

I would think that a Meater thermo would do the trick nicely. It is bluetooth.
