boy it would be nice if the app could monitor start bath temp, you can enter start bath volume, what you are cooking and what time YOU would like it cooked and ready to eat! the PC could calculate when to start HEATING and finish just in time to eat…give or take.

I am going to try the ice bath this weekend! I have been using an igloo cooler for a while; this should be a pretty simple setup.
