Review on Inkbird Temperature Programmable Interface Circulator by Lauren Marley

Revainrating 1 out of 5

does not keep the temperature; resets to 50℃ by default

Everyone praised the Inkbird immersion cooker; But when I received my ISV-100W, I couldn't get it to hold the 57°C (135°F) temperature setting: regardless of the button press sequence, the unit reverted to the default 50°C setting. I proceeded with the 60-minute mince cookout, knowing it couldn't be pasteurized; but because that wasn't the case, instead of juicy medium-rare burgers, I had to lengthen the roast to ensure a pathogen-free meal. Having worked as a chemical engineer 40 years ago, I know how to take care of a Moore Products, Fisher & Porter, or Modicon PID control process... And if I hadn't done that, I would have woken up with food poisoning. Thanks Inkbird for ruining my dinner. UPDATE: Since this dive plate still looked promising, I sent it back. and ordered another; and found the same firmware bug that changed the setpoint back to DANGEROUS 120°F. Go to Prof. Doug Baldwin's website, select "Sous Vide" and go to Table 5.1, which guarantees you safe, pathogen-free cooking. . www.DouglasBaldwin.com
