I just ordered something from an infomercial... Hopefully not entirely junk.
Anyway, it is a temperature controlled induction cooktop. It seems like it might be ideal for sous vide. Put a big pot on it, set the temperature and you should have an instant water bath.
Like all infomercial stuff you have to be very careful when ordering. The cooktop is $99 but s&h is 29.95. You can get a second one free (yeah, right), but the s&h is 39.95 for it. Then you have to go through screens and screens of crap they want you to add to the order and the settings are to automatically add them if you just hit the button. You have to switch the amount to zero. So... BE VERY CAREFUL!
I'll review it after I get it. Now... I just need to find a very large magnetic pot, I think my current ones are probably aluminum.
Induction cooktop with precise temperature control
Anyway, even at $130 (for one) it's a great price, providing it works well for sous vide. I spent about $150 for the temperature color and $50 for the rice maker. This will be nice because I'm not constrained by the rice maker.
