Defined by hacked kitchen gadgets, various dieting “tribes” are already a reality: paleodiet believers can be identified with DIYsous vide appliances, locavores with foraging practices and interfaces monitoring food authenticity, molecular gastronomes with DIY liquid nitrogen protocols, nutrigenomics enthusiasts with interfaces for crowdsourcing biodata, and functional food minimalists with voluntary starvation because they refuse to feed the selfish DNA.
Have you ever wondered how to prepare perfect boiled eggs? The answeris sous-vide, a cooking technique using low and precisely controlled temperatures.Unfortunately, professional sous-videcookers are expensiveand hard to find. Let's make our own sous-vide cooker with PID control byhacking devices that might be around you – Arduino, temperature
sensor, DMX dimmer, rice-cooker and computer with a VVVV toolkit. Duringthe workshop we learn something about device hacking, physical units,sous-vide cooking, pid regulation and arduino. Let's hope our effortswill be rewarded by perfect soft-boiled eggs.
