This has been on my tinker-list for around 4 years, and I’ve finally got around doing it. I made a little temperature controlled relay to my rice-cooker which enables me to use it as a sous-vide apparatus. That’s wonderful, because it’s now easier to prepare meat, and most importantly, eat 67 °C eggs. So how did I do it? I bought a really cheap PID from DealExtreme, and with some help of Martin Deen I had everything set up.

But that’s where things got wrong 4 years ago… The PID didn’t seem to function properly, I couldn’t find a way to calibrate it and I was missing tools and manuals to create a good enclosure for the PID. So I left the project catching dust in a drawer..

I’ve spend past weekend enjoying what I do most, submerge in a community driven event, to come out two days later sleep deprived but full with ideas and enthusiasm. As one of the organisers of the conference you might think that it’s a though thing to do, coordinating it all, but with a wonderful group of people from america and the QS Amsterdam team it was a blast! The atmosphere of the group was really great and we had almost 300 people at the venue.
