Thanks to HH's tip on the price reduction of the Sous Vide Supreme, I moved it from my Wishlist to the cart...and it is now here! It arrived yesterday, right before I was going to start on dinner, so I figured "what the heck" and ran a tri-tip through it.
I seasoned it with Tatonka Dust and Devil Salt, bagged it and let it sit in the fridge while the Supreme came up to temp (134°F). I then cooked it for 2.5 hours, followed by a quick sear.
Results: best texture for a finished tri-tip yet.
Like any tool, the SVS will take a little time to dial in, but I've got a feeling that I'll never prepare an expensive cut of meat any other way again (well, mostly). I want to try some fish next (Sprouts has some fresh, wild-caught seabass; might try that).
I've had the thing less than 24 hours and love it already. I've rearranged my kitchen counters so it has a permanent place out and usable.
No photos yet. Sorry. I was having too much fun playing. I'll do a full workup soon.

By the way, I just checked Amazon, and one vendor is still pricing the unit at $360 + $12 shipping. It was $430 when I added it to my Wishlist a month ago. Don't know if this price will last or not.
