SousVide Dash App Reviews

Input of parameters could be simpler but overall is a great tool. To the reviewers complaining about the app not supporting frozen food, think about what this app claims to do. It predicts the temperature profile based on type of and mass and shape of the meat using a model. Frozen/solid material has to be heated to transition from solid to liquid. This amount of heat, heat of fusion, must be applied before the temperature changes. If the app tried to model this, it would have to assume that the meat was totally frozen to properly estimate the time/water temperature to cross into liquid state for the existing model to work. If meat isnt completely frozen, the estimates would be way off, which would result in real negative reviews! App does what is reasonable even if not meeting the unrealistic expectations of some reviewers.

Seems to be the minimum times compared to the table of suggested times by VacMaster and other manufacturers. Does not contain turkey, duck or game hen which are quite different than chicken (Poultry). No vegetables or fruits are included. It seems to rely mainly on the thickness to increase the time to meet the minimum cooking time table I have been using. Maybe some of the shapes could be better defined for the novice. It seems very important to bag the item then measure thickness and add 1/4 or 1/2 inch at least then “Cook to Pasteurize to Core” at “FDA Sugg.” temperature from a cold refrigerator (37F). Very precise interrelated inputs points. A novice at Sous Vide needs to add thickness (for sure), Cook to P~ Core, and add “tenderness time” to the inputs. Always add more time to the minimum or “Total Time” displayed. Better food, safer product. Overall a good guide for professionals but lacking some important foods that are outstanding Sous Vide products. In the kitchen, printed tables are quicker and easier to use with know results. A good beginning. Hope there are updates planned. Especially in equipment selection.
