Due to the wildfires, we don't have any hot water at my house. So I came up with a solution. Works like a charm (even if it takes a couple hours).

    Seems like that could kill you if something went wrong

    If it’s hooked up to a GFI outlet it SHOULD be fine, but I sure as hell wouldn’t risk it.

  3. Duke2daMoon

    One would assume they are just using it to heat the water and not actually bath with it in there.

    You should be medium-rare in a week or so…

  5. Separate-Abrocoma-31

    You can cook dinner in that mf too lol

    I’ve been using a spare Anova for foot baths for years. It’s amazing!

    Did you also install a garbage disposal in the drain?

  8. I was gonna try the same thing with my toaster. Ill report back.

    Just wondering how you’re gonna breathe inside of that vacuum sealed bag?

  10. Revolutionary-Zone91

    Well, that’s one way to go.

    Depending on how hot you are going you can cook some steak and yourself at the same time

    Lol, I did that too when my water heater broke and I had to wait two days for the part to arrive. It took three hours to warm up for a comfortable bath, and I removed the sous vide device before getting into the tub

    Seriously be careful. I had a sousvide go subside in a tub…like an idiot I reached in to grab it before unplugging and shocked the shit out of myself. Blue lights and everything.

    Think my saving grace was the wire rack in side the large tub that shorted the Anova before shorting my life.

    You just have a large vacuum sealer. .

    This is where the joule’s magnetic base and waterproof-ness really shines!

    Funny! Kinda reminds me of the tubs you see in Japan, where they leave the water inside and it get reheated.

    Guys over here trying to make some “long pig”…

  18. guelahpapyrus

    Don’t worry guys, I’m gonna unplug it before I get in.

    I feel the paramedics will have a good laugh with this.

    I thought that was a hair dryer at first…

    My water heater quit working once so I tried that. After almost an hour, the tub was still ice cold. Would not reccomend.

  22. How do the wildfires affect your hot water heater? If you have cold water and power, you have hot water unless your water heater has crapped out.

    I thought it said suicide and it kinda checked out.

    you would think they need protection in there for this kind of thing people reaching in while it is on. .. still wouldn’t trust letting anyone but my ex wife in there.

  25. dm-pizza-please

    Toss it in when white rabbit peaks

  26. afterbirth_slime

    Toss a few cloves of garlic in and really get the /r/sousvide juices flowing.

    there are worse things than not having hot water because of the fires. Just don’t electrocute yourself 😉
