Comment on Smart sous vide cooker to start charging $2/month for 10-year-old companion app
ColeSloth@discuss.tchncs.de 2 months agoDo you need the apk to use it at all? Or is it just a little perk to go along with it?
Hopefully, someone hacks the apk so it just keeps working.

It let’s you remote control it and pick recipes that will autoset the temps.
So, not at all. Sous vide is a “set and forget” cooking method like a crockpot. You can walk away and leave the thing running long past the minimum time and have no issues because the whole point is it takes food to an exact temp and no further.

Yeah. I’ve used sous vide for a long time myself. Sounds like the whole apk could be replaced with asking the internet what temp to cook X at, and then setting your phones timer for cook time.
