    Sous vide and Instant Pot

    I don't cook in crockpots other than soups and chili and only use them as a holding vessel to keep warm. USDA mentioned canning at 15 psi to get to 250F in an Insta Pot has been sub par to kill Clostridrium Botulinum, Clostridium Perfringens and Bacillus Cereius spores to be a sterilized...

    Looking for a new Sous vide cooker

    The ISV-100 1,000 watt has been flawless. I got mine in 2019 when it first came out. now the vent free 200 round and 300 are newer. I put it in a 32oz glass mug 50/50 vinegar and water occasionally to descale at 140/15min. You just reminded me to take out the seasoned vac sealed chucky for...

    ThermPro TempSpike XR Not Charging Properly and No Support

    Or spare parts! LOL They don't want to pay for returns on a dead spike that has to be charged and then paired. They have to pair the charged base to a charged spike. If they ship only a charged spike it'll be totally discharged when you get it and your base won't recognize it to charge it...

    ThermPro TempSpike XR Not Charging Properly and No Support

    Yes! That is what is happening with the defective probe discharging your base battery like mine did. Your entire unit maybe discharged and probes when they send the new one to you if from Amazon like I mentioned in my super long post. LOL

    ThermPro TempSpike XR Not Charging Properly and No Support

    My XR Tempspike white probe just kept scrolling 24 hours so I called them and they sent me a new unit through Amazon like the one I originally received. Both units, the base and probes were dead when I received them, but were paired so make sure they are paired before the probe drain or no...

    2025 Thermoworks Black Friday/Cyber Monday Deals - November 20-December 3

    Kinda bummed about my Thermapen order in my post above. Not that it came a couple days late. Most therms come without batteries installed but the Thermapen does. I unscrewed the cover before even unfolding the probe and saw the Powerline AAA battery by Panasonic already installed. I was...

    Premier membership PSA

    Or if paying yearly, whatever, there should be a total amount you've paid for a grandfather clause to be automatically switched to lifetime Premier. Like double the straight up amount or similar being a tenured payer.

    RFX App update?

    This is a thread that should be on going for the many that got crap being in the Beta or starter release. Pretty silent. Is that good news? Who still has problems and lousy battery life? The warranty for a year with probes is expiring. Two years for the gateway but the Thermapen is five years.
