A friend scored a tri-tip for $2.99/lb, an amazing price. I took the opportunity to cook it with the APC and maybe sell one for you. I cooked it at 131F/55C for 4 hour. After that I let it rest on a rack while the oven heated to 425F/218C. I sprayed it with oil and sprinkled a little salt. After 15 minutes in the oven I used my Searzall to add color to the fat layer on top. Normally I would season more but my friend prefers less. It turned out well, medium rare edge-to-edge. In addition I see I should have trimmed it a bit before cooking. Is there some kind of program where I can get diamond points from selling a bunch of APC units? ![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex016/uploads/anova/original/2X/0/08042b65c0e6e4510a158f7091d8abcdc5f0ada4.JPG) Tri-tip after the 425F/218C oven finish and the Searzall touch up.

That’s a really great deal! Glad your friend loved it. You get lots of magical diamond points! But in all seriousness, I know some sort of referral program has been brought up before by others too. I can’t make any promises, but it’s something I’ll look into. ---
