I'm so glad people have started saying "laser sharp". It's such a clever phrase.

Joule?! Screw that, get an Anova. In all the sous vide communities I am a member of it is the most used and recommended. And it's way cheaper than the joule.

LOL if I buy my GF anything for the kitchen my butt will be doing all the cooking.

I have Thermopops and they malfunction all the time. I used both during Thanksgiving because they kept randomly shutting off (not the batteries). When they did work, they gave wildly different numbers.

Thank you for the review. Pro tip....lose the music (unnecessary and distracting).

[almckimmey]

I am sorry, your video is quick - but maybe you should also link to each of the testing and reasons why each of these are "the best we reviewed" on your shows. I have been looking at buying Anova Precision Cooker sous vide and most overall reviews shows this is the best bang for $$$ - so where is your review testing comparisons? Just say I expected a professional approach to these products than "take our word for it" Still love the show

who would give someone a spatula for christmas

[alinebraga]

I wish someone give me one of this babies.

[illiteratebeef]

Oh, good. This turned into a Joule circlejerk channel too. I can't imagine they'd pick a sous vide machine that requires a special app to use it instead of, y'know, dials that just work.

[ariso]

I'm surprised at the automatic espresso machine recommendation.

[KevinSmith-qiyn]

Now taking donations if anyone wants to gift me a $600 expresso machine.

[zebunker]

"picks for the holiday WHATEVER YOUR BUDGET." What if you have no budget, lies. sweet lies you said.

[Ericd]

If you’re spending that much on an espresso machine, buy the Breville Barista Express.

If you're going to make a two minute video, please learn the script by hand. We can see she is reading from a script.
