Interesting. I’ll give this a go. Since I have setup my water bath in a cooler box, it should be able to keep the food at a low temp for a very long time. But I do have one question. Step 10 says “You will get a notification when the temperature reaches 40˚F or 4.4˚C, then you can simply start your cook from a pre-selected recipe or guide, or enter your preferred time and temperature.”

My question is: Is it not possible to setup the APC to automatically start cooking at a predefined temp should the bath temp exceed 40F? Or do I have to manually interact with once I get the notification? What if my phone is not online at the time of that event and I don’t get the notification?

PS: if anyone is interested in using a cooler box for a water bath, here’s a link to my other post describing how I have that setup. [APC with Coleman 28 Quarts / 26.5L cooler](https://community.anovaculinary.com/t/apc-with-coleman-28-quarts-26-5l-cooler/8834)
