I have found that I can preheat in half the time if I turn the burner on under my pot until the temp is within 10 degrees of preheat temp, does anyone else do this?

Not the same but I boiled a huge pot to get my cooler up to temp. Or else I’d be waiting 3 hours for it to get up to desired temp.

Every single time. I just make sure that the heat from the burner isn’t reaching the cord.
thisbaddog
Every time as well, but kill the burner (HOB) about 5* before set temp. Saves so much time.

No, but I do use an electric kettle to top mine off with hot water and speed up the process.

Yes until I forgot I’d done it and boiled a good rib eye steak after the bag popped

I use a large plastic storage bin with a s/v specific lid so it doesn’t go on the stove, but I do fill it with hot water from the tap. Saves a lot of time.

Hot water from the faucet works just fine.
Not trying to be a dick but I thought starting off with hot water was standard procedure

No, I boil a couple pots of water and then dump those into my stock pot. I’ll add in some more tap water to cool it off slightly, and then I’ll drop in my Anova and turn it on to check temp. Let it get to desired temp and let it chill for five to ten mins to make sure we good before dropping food in.

If you run the hot tap water it’ll save you more than 1/2 the time and it’s less cumbersome.
theBigDaddio
Nope, I use hot water from the tap, sometimes it’s higher than what I want anyway

I simply put hot water from the sink in and it’s typically a good bit north of 100F. So doesn’t take much at all.

I have a tankless water heater at home, with the temperature set for 125°.
It’s natural gas fired, so I just let it get up to temp, and use it as a preheat.

I either use a medium steel pot, a large steel pot, or a plastic Anova SV bath that’s designed for SV.
If I use the medium pot, I’ll just fill it with tap water and dump 1.5L of boiling water from my electric kettle into the pot.
If I use a large pot, my electric kettle makes no sense, so I just turn on the stove.

I fill my circulation tank half-way with tap water. And then I S.W.A.G. how hot and how much water I need to get close to target and add it. I’m usually within 10 degrees of target this way.
My circulator is not a burner. I don’t want it raising three gallons of water to 130f.
I wouldn’t put the circulator in the pot though while heating water. Too many opportunities for an accident.
Nice range, BTW.
Xelopheris
I just boil a full electric kettle. Pulls a lot more wattage than the circulator.
AmazingResponse338
I use an electric kettle…1 to qt boiling added to whatever comes out of the tap. It’s an immediate boost to about 120°
keith2600
Electric kettle for me as well. It is much faster than the stove but then I don’t have a gas stove.
nyeakel
I burned my power cord doing this
Dude_tx_1955
I fill with hot water from the faucet.

Why not heat the water then stick the circulator in?
GrizzlyIsland22
I boil the kettle to help heat the water
Alarming_Sweet9734
I do, Every time.
shouldipropose
nope… i am amazed at how fast my joule gets the water to temp.
RooooooooooR
My hot water comes out of the faucet at 135 degrees
