tldr; protip: potty train.

well, they also say things like this, to be fair: http://view.lyftmail.com/?j=fe5012797d6400747012&m=fe6915707...

the technology should be in the stovetop/hotplate burner, not the pan, IMO.

"In this case, poaching or hard boiling an egg is so utterly simple, done in mere minutes, that it is simply impossible that this device could make it easier. And the grotesque proposed waste of energy borders on the absurd."

said like someone who has never used the sous vide cooking method. this is about precise cooking, which yeilds very specific results; it's very different than your 'toss a bunch of eggs into boiling water for 10 minutes! duhhh' method.

you cant get these results with your 'utterly simple' method(s): http://www.cookingissues.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/eggc...

and we're just talking eggs here. your steak wont look like this either: https://d3awvtnmmsvyot.cloudfront.net/api/file/clFhHJTkRraOg...

@compumike impractical... kinda like crapping up the posts comments about a completely different product.

please tell me how the product you're hocking can 'practically' cook a rack of ribs, brisket, or a roast.

or how about cooking/holding more than one serving at once? it cant.

we get it, you want your pantelligent product to take off. but saying it can do everything the sous vide does, just better/faster, is not accurate and comes off extremely biased.

you dont need to reply. you seem to like avoiding response to pertinent points and instead fall back to how great everything is re: pantelligent.

i guess you didnt understand my point. you do not obtain the same result in a pan as you do via sous vide. one does not replace the other.

have you ever used a sous vide machine? if you had, you'd probably better understand the point im making.

thanks for the self promoted informercial, but you may want to keep positioning as a companion to a sous vide machine, not as better than. yours is a very different product that does not produce the same output as a sous vide solution.

ex: trying cooking a hard boiled egg to specific consistency, or a delicate piece of fish to the same consistency and internal temperature (with no searing) in the pantelligent. hell, even in the steak example, you cant get sear to sear pink when the high heat is coming from the searing edge.

wake me up the the pan can tell the stove to manage/adjust the heat automatically.

slightly different concept (but too neat to not share):

praise to sony for supplying an SDK for the Smartwatch platform that enables devs to create their own software!

they also have tools for creating custom firmware. the smartwatch should have the sensors necessary for someone to make this happen (mostly) on existing hardware.

well, if you were even considering WeMo in the first place (even well before this vuln) you were 'doing it wrong'. a server with wifi in EVERY node is not the way to go about adding home automation. these devices you have no control over and rely on 'the cloud' have no business on your LAN.

wondering if the cleaned up video on the bluray master makes all of this digging moot. based on the quality of the transfer (which can be seen in screenshots on bluray.com) id bet the shot of the magazine cover as he walks by would be clear enough to see exactly what title says. work smarter, not harder.

i mean really? my ancient palm treo 600 could do this (and so much more newly rediscovered functionality of modern 'smart'phones.)
