For a while, I've wanted to have better temperature control for my stove in my apartment. I originally considered buying a sous vide machine, but seeing as the photon I got was cheaper (just handed to me when I took this class), I decided to see if I could do it my self. I really wanted to be able to turn on my stove from campus to start cooking things that take a long time. A good sous vide steak can take an hour or two, and if I set it up before I left, I could start turn it on just before my last class ends and arrive home to a perfectly cooked meal. Rice takes 20-30 minutes, which is about the same as my commute, so if my stove were just a bit smarter, it could have fresh rice for me when I arrive. To test this project, I tried making eggs at specific temperatures.
