rich_green I’m not 100% sure but if you use ECA with it I think you may want to wait til it hits 140* as the capsules start to release at 130*. Hopefully someone jumps on to confirm or give a definite answer

[rich_green]

how long should it take in the roaster? its been in for 40 minutes and temp has only went up 3 degrees, pulled them at 135 and they are only at 138

[craigrice]

was the roaster set at 160 and to temp. when you put them in ? the colder meat will bring the temp down in the water and need to recover then it should finish in a decent amt. of time

[rich_green]

water temp was at 170 and is currently at 172

[craigrice]

it may take a little more time but keep an eye on it as when the temp. starts to rise it will not take long to get to temp. and you don’t want to over cook them after all the work put in them

[rich_green]

craigrice thank you

[craigrice]

if you have a temp. probe with an alarm it is a big help

[cdavis]

rich_green mine have always finished in an hour or less

[rich_green]

cdavis making me nervous

[cdavis]

rich_green give them time they’ll be worth the wait

rich_green I agree with twilliams about waiting till they get to 140° I usually wait till they get there regardless….I very seldom use ECA though
