Sous Vide Rocks
on April 19, 2018
Posted by: David G.
We've been using our Joule for about 3 months. Pork chops, steaks, chicken breasts, chicken thighs, 7 lb prime rib, pork loin, pork tenderloin, ++. Needed to find the correct temperatures to meet our desires, but everything comes out great. Like a slow cooker in some ways, set it and forget it, as the temp continues until you are ready to move on. Love the app to decide everything, and love that it goes into a drawer when not being used. WE ARE BIG FANS of the Joule, and ChefSteps recipes. A brother-in-law bought a different brand, he's not very happy with it, but loves using ChefSteps recipes.

A Gem for any cook
on April 19, 2018
Posted by: Chef N.
I purchased a Joule before it was finished being built. Soon after I received it, I bought another & ended up giving it away. Then I bought a third. I use a Sous Vide on average twice a week. Their compact size is great for storage & for transportation (I bring them along for catering gigs). I thoroughly enjoy using them & the app is helpful. Two things I personally would like to change: 1) Have a setting for circulation w/out heat. This would be helpful to defrost product w/out cooking & to chill down wine quickly in an ice bath. I have Poly Science Chef series that allows for low temps. 2) If the circulator output was lower it would be helpful for cooking items in vessels with an open top. For example, making Pot du Creme in shot glasses, which I do for parties. Despite these issues, I have recommended the Joule to many people & I know at least 4 people have purchased one. Cheers!

Great Product, Great Customer Service!

I've been looking at the Joule ever since it was announced, trying to decide if I really NEEDED to get one. Then we bought half a cow from my wife's uncle, and I decided that I didn't want to take any chances on ruining any steaks, so I took the plunge. I have to say that this is one if the best cooking related purchases that I've ever made. I've made some of the best burgers and steaks that I've ever tasted in my life. I've also been making my own yogurt and egg bites that everyone in the family enjoys. Pork chops and chicken are juicier than I've ever been able to get them grilling or even baking. I even made the Creme Brulee for dessert one day and it was spectacular. Then the silicone pad on the bottom of the foot fell off after a 24 hour pulled pork-a-thon (which turned out fantastic, I must say). I contacted Chef Steps and had a new foot in a few days. I'm as impressed with their customer service as I am the Joule! I can't wait to keep trying new recipies, both step by step through the app as well as from recipies I find on the web. If you're on the fence about buying a Joule, I urge you to take the plunge and get one. You will NOT be sorry!

ChefSteps always pushes me to try new…
on April 19, 2018
Posted by: Tatum
ChefSteps always pushes me to try new recipes and their videos make everything exceptionally simple. I don't use the Joule as often as I could. I get a bit lazy when it comes to the setup and often don't leave enough time for the cook. However, when having a small dinner with friends or a large dinner party the Joule always produces a show-stopping meal. I also highly appreciate the "Other People's Ideas" series. I've made several of those recipes and each has come out excellent.

I love ChefSteps! Their Joule is amazing, and the customer service is second to none. If there is any problem, it is rectified right away. The Joule cooks beautifully, and the recipes they provide are really out of this world.

Chefsteps is amazing
on April 19, 2018
Posted by: John
Chefsteps is amazing. It's easy to follow, easy to search your ideas as well as surf for new ideas. The videos are amazingly simple and fun to watch and the steps are written in a way that make it nearly impossible to have anything but great results. Every time I use the app I make something great... and it looks exactly like the video or picture. This never happens with any cookbook.

Joule is the best sous vide tool
on April 19, 2018
Posted by: Ryan
I have two sous vide tools but use the Joule exclusively. I like its small size, which allows me to use smaller containers/pots. I've also traveled with it.
