Raspberry Pi Sous Vide Redux
TL;DR My hardware and software setup for my Raspberry Pi sous vide setup have remained the same for over 5 years, but a failed remote controlled socket forced me to update almost everything. Background The Maplin remote control socket would turn on, and briefly supply power to the slow cooker, but then it would appear […]

The Boiling Conspiracy
TL;DR Meat can be cooked safely at well below 100C, and comes out better for it, so why do cook books and TV chefs never suggest it? Background I love to eat and I love to cook, which is one of the reasons that I made my own temperature controlled sous vide water bath – […]

I’ve been very happy with the results from my Raspberry Pi controlled water bath for sous vide cooking, but I knew that the control loop could be improved. Past runs show fairly continued oscillation: I’ve been keeping track of the average power for my control loop, which has been coming out at 22%. So i […]

Sous Vide Roast Beef redux
Last week I cooked tri-tip with my Raspberry Pi controlled water bath. This week I used a much more ordinary cut, some topside from my local Co-Op supermarket that had cost me just over £5 for 1.6kg. Some time ago I stopped buying this kind of meat because if you cook it per the instructions […]

Best roast beef ever
I cooked tri-tip with my Raspberry Pi controlled sous vide water bath today. It came out brilliantly – on a par with the best Chateaubriand I’ve had (which for the record was at Casa Ferlin in Zurich – well worth a visit if you’re ever in that neck of the woods). The meat I got […]

Sous vide steak
After making my Raspberry Pi controlled hot water bath over the weekend I’ve been itching to try it out. I got my chance this evening when cooking some steak for dinner. I get my steaks mail order from Donald Russell, so they come shock frozen and vacuum packed – so the ‘sous vide’ part is […]

Temperature control for a sous vide water bath is a popular application for hobbyist microcontroller kits, with lots of well documented projects out there. My favourite is the Sous Vader – if only for the attention to detail in the decal on the box. I’ve been planning my own for a little while, and got […]
