Cooler Mod For Sous Vide Cooking

[Bearcarver]

View attachment 347389 After much thought and trepidation I bit the bullet and decided to cut the top to my cooler mod for SV. I just could not see it being very workable to not be able to at least peak without having to shut down the Anova unit.


Here we are cut. Worked out to be a pretty clean cut on the table saw.

And here is a shot with the part removed. I think this will make it much more workable. Thought about hinging it but I think this would just make it more awkward and not add any real value. What do you think?

FYI: For Long SV jobs, you'll want to cover that end with saran wrap.
That way you can still see in, but the water won't evaporate during a long Bath.

Bear, I will use the whole top on a SV cook. With it cut I now will be able to simply lift the cut end off to inspect, add water, or whatever without disrupting the SV unit. It will be able to keep on chugging along.
