Kenny, using packaged ramen and seasoning it yourself is a great hack.  Inexpensive and easy to keep around.

Ryan, I bought the first Anova sous vide circulator when it came out.  It was the first immersible option for under about $800 at the time.  I had come very close to buying the Sous Vide Supreme for $500 before the Anova came out.  I'm glad I waited.

Half of what we read or hear about finishing is right. We just don’t know which half! — Bob Flexner
