It’s been a little while since I checked in, but I thought I’d give a quick update. I’m hard at work getting production versions of my sous vide heating immersion circulators ready for sale. The picture above is of my current prototype, based largely off of the DIY design I published a few months ago. As you can see, I’ve got a custom-made heating coil and a slightly prettier enclosure. The controller I’ve selected is also far more user-friendly, and I’ve upgraded other components after months of intense testing (and a handful of literal meltdowns).
Anyhow, I’m still working as hard as I can to bring you all a sub-$200 sous vide heating immersion circulator accurate to .1C! If you’d like to be on the email list when the first units are ready for sale, please leave a comment below.

I’m definitely interested…
Nice! Hook me up!
I would love to get one of those!! Sign me up!
I’ll be waiting very excited
definitely interested, though I’m ashamed that i couldn’t get mine working based on your previous post.
heck, I’d pay you $100 + shipping if I could send you mine to figure out what’s wrong with it.
In for 1 for sure!
I’d definitely like to know when they’re available. Thanks for all the work you’re doing on this!
I’d be interested, but can you enlighten me on what upgrades you made? I was planning to make my own, but in a metal enclosure.
Put me on the list. Found the blog recently while looking at the beer cooler sous vide stuff. Great blog, great fun, keep up the good work.
Nice. Congrats.
Put me on the list.
Just let me know when?
Scott,
Do you think that there needs to be some kind of cage around the heating element, so packages that float can’t float into the heating coils?

Also, are you using a pump that can handle the temperatures necessary for cooking veges?
SJW
Please add me to the list.
I’m curious about floating packages, too. Could you perhaps post a video with the pump going and a typical package?
Thanks!
Add me to that list!
Put me on the list please!
On the list too!
Nice touch. Count me in.
Do you plan a kit?
I expect it will not be UL listed (impractical for small numbers; it was a pain in the ’80s and expensive besides) so I personally would prefer a transparent case. I could *see* that nothing had melted. It would also make for a better conversation piece.
I find cutting the holes in the case the most daunting. I would likely butcher it. Plastic shop in middle school was 34 years ago. Acrylic and I did *not* get along.
Did you find a simple way to avoid burning out the heating coil if it’s turned on out of the water?
Keep me posted.
Please sign me up and let me know if you need a deposit on a unit to help with your int. cost. Thanks in advance
Please Put me on the List… Serious Buyer
I’d definitely buy one, also I like the idea of this better than the sur la table sous vide supreme. Do you have a potential time frame that you are looking at to get this out to the public.
Sign me up….
I’m in…
Would love one if I don’t build one first

I’m more than in with one please.
Please add me to the list, very interested.
Have you thought of selling a “DIY Sous-Vide” kit? All you’d have to do is package all the parts and print up some instructions. You could market it to DIY sites, forums, etc.
Looking slick… keep me posted on your progress, please!
Drooling already… Please add me to the list as well. And I’ll pre-pay you now if I can get my hands on the first batch.
Thank you for all your hard work.
very VERY interested.
Oh, I too can offer to pre pay!
Count me in, please, and I’d be delighted to send a deposit.
What kind of container is that? is that a standard size bain marie pan? Is it similar in size to the plastic container you used in your first version? All the ones I found listed at hospitality wholesalers seemed to be too small.
PS – also could you please disclose what brand/model PID controller you are using here?
Please add me to the list!
I am definitely interested.

I am interested. What is the ETA on these things? And, like the previous diy IC, will you be posting instructions on how to make this one yourself, or will you just sell them already made?
