The PolyScience Sous Vide Toolbox­­™ is the winner of the StarChefs.com International Chefs Congress Innovator Award.

The PolyScience Sous Vide Toolbox­­™ guides you to a successful and food-safe sous vide cooking experience. It helps you determine the optimal sous-vide cooking and re-heating time for a variety of foods. All data are plotted in graphs to show you the relationships between time, temperature, and pathogen reduction in your food. The Cooking Journal lists each event during the cooking process and explains if needed. Once the process is finished, you are notified via message and audible alarm.

Instead of providing a limited number of combinations of foods, sizes, shapes and temperatures as found in time/temperature tables, the Sous Vide Toolbox provides a much wider combination of options - with just a few taps on your screen.

The thermal conductivity (heat transfer) characteristics of protein are almost identical for every type of protein. So rather than measuring how long it takes to cook food at different thicknesses, we can use this value to calculate the time it takes at a given temperature and thickness for the item to reach core temperature and different levels of pasteurization.

This takes out the guesswork of determining the correct cooking time at a certain temperature. It also provides great guidance as to what level of pathogen reduction occurs at what time and whether your choice of temperature and time is considered safe.

Pros and cons of PolyScience Sous Vide Toolbox app for iPhone and iPad

PolyScience Sous Vide Toolbox app good for

And I am sure it will get better for example pictures of the equipment when you pick it Under Beef would be great to see to see the actual cuts and some recommendations ie Brisket Ability to add your own notes ( maybe its their and I can not figure it out)
This app covers only popular cuts of meat and fish. I would have liked to see a more compete list including liver, venison (white deer, red deer, etc.), pork belly, duck, squab, etc…. I hope that these will be included in future updates.
I have use this app for a while and it is fantastic very useful reference at hand to have
This app is great. It takes the guesswork out of sous vide cooking. Could use an update for iOS 7.

Some bad moments

Bought this app for a beef roast Just says over 4 hours cook time and guessing Maximum 5" thickness Waste of money
HORRIBLE APP!!! Keeps crashing, locking up my iphone, and is NOT COMPATIBLE with the new iOS. This app hasnt been update in YEARS!!!!
I read a recommendation for this app so I bought it but its nothing I was looking for. Any way I can get a refund?
need to be able to set initial core temp to - (negative) degrees celsius = out of freezer. otherwise useless.
So far I have used it half a dozen times, and everything has come out perfect. Its also saved a lot of time documenting my sous vide cooking for the health Dept. Thanks Poly Science!
Great for helping time almost anything you want to cook sous vide. I wish they would include vegetables in the product selection though.
