Amazon dropped the price to $249.99 Cuisinart CSO-300N Convection Steam Oven, Stainless Steel

After 3 hours, there was a small amount of water outside the bottom of the styrofoam cooler. Probably not enough to indicate a leak, I'm thinking condensation. Looks like I might be investing in a beer cooler instead...and thanks gfweb, already have a black covered moleskine to catalog my failures....uh...teachable moments...

Hello, I'm also a newbie, but recently got the Anova and am loving it. Couldn't be simplier to use and stores easily when not in use. I've played around with different containers (most of my pots seem small), but I think I've hit upon a solution for when I do a big batch or need 24 hour+. I was lucky enough to receive a gift basket from Omaha Steaks that arrived in a large syrofoam cooler. The walls are just thin enough to attach the Anova, so I cut a whole in the top and voila! This has been going now for 2 hours at 185 degrees and the outside is cool to the touch...

Happy new year everyone, Just discovered eGullet while searching on Modernist Cuisine topics. I'm totally enamored with Nathan Myhrvold's books, and thinking of blogging my way through all the recipes a la Julie and Julia. Does anyone know if this has already been done? I've found several modernist blogs and several threads on individual recipes, but not a series going through MC or MCAH. Looking forward to getting on the forums! --Nathan
