  1. Just a heads up, looks like amazon.de and amazon.co.uk have the book reduced atm to 408.52€ or 425 GBP: https://www.amazon.de/MODERNIST-BREAD-Nathan-Myhrvold/dp/0982761058 https://www.amazon.co.uk/Modernist-Bread-Science-Nathan-Myhrvold/dp/0982761058 not sure if that's an temporary thing or a permanent price reduction. This is as far as I see a bit cheaper for the europeans than the canadian amazon offer a few months ago.
  2. I haven't faced any issues with condensation yet, as I haven't used it at high temperatures for more than 1h. For my short 1h 90°C run the display was wet, but apparently not in the display, just the outside. I'm just a bit wary, as I don't think that the casing is sealed.
  3. I'm on vacation for the next few days, but you can find a few pictures (unboxing etc.) here (by some other user): http://www.grillsportverein.de/forum/sous-vide/sous-vide-geraet-163146-13.html#post1507590
  4. I bought the Sous Vide Chef 2 a few weeks ago and so far I'm quite happy. It survived both my short <2h attempts and one long 36h run. I think the accuracy is quite good, at least as good as my previous self build rig which uses a PT100, so it's probably really in the +/- 0.5°C error range. The build quality is ok, the plastic looks more cheap in reality than on the photos and the clearance between both plastic housing parts is ok, but I still have a few concerns about condensation. I have not yet opened it to clean it, but I've read on other forums that it's too cramped in the casing to clean properly. One thing which is more annoying than anything else is that it has a water outlet at the backside of the submerged part, which atleast in my container snuggles tightly with the container wall and this apparently can lead to vibration which is quite loud and annoying. I'll need to try a few other container to see if I can optimize that. Currently my verdict is, that I would buy it again.
