Sous vide cookers ?

Recently got a Sansaire but haven't used it yet, can't get away from the one I made a couple years ago.
Took a large oval crock pot (not digital) and made a double thick rubber gasket with a 1/4 slot on both sides to set between the pot and lid. Slots are for the thermometer and air line.
Got a Dorkfood thermometer and a cheap aquarium air pump, pump stays on constant and the crockpot cycles off the thermometer. Yeah it's redneck, but keeps constant temps and has performed great.

I've done shrimp, lobster, steaks, pork chops, eggs, roast, ribs, and others with great results. It's also great for reheating foods.
I saw someone mention garlic which I advise against. Raw garlic will not cook at sous vide temps, so you're left with a bad taste. You also increase the risk of botulism by putting raw garlic in, however the risk are small. Of you like garlic like I do it is best to use it when you sear the meat post sous vide.
Also experiment with time & temps. You can cook meat to the point the texture changes dramatically which can be offputting.

I have a Gormia (i think thats how its spelled) and I love it
I do chicken and steak in it pretty regularly.
Steak @ 129* for 1-3 hours and then sear
I dont remember the chicken temp I used but I've done wings/breast/bone in thighs and all have turned out great
Next experiment is to sous vide bone in chicken until cooked and then batter and fry long enough to get crispy skin.
