I can't find Anova dealers here, but saw CIRCU DELUXE for ~£250 with two cooking boxes and a vacuum machine and a 100 bugs for start with...
Which means that is definitely not big money - I only have to check the quality of it (I know it's 1500 watt, but nothing else for now)...

The vacuum machine is needed - the ziplock bags are useless and next to impossible to clean out.
I use a Foodsaver V2860 which is four plus years old now and still working fine.
The individual bags are OK, but I buy the embossed rolls which is a bit more flexible - you can use a "deeper" or "shallower" bag as you need, and I spend around £30 per year on rolls (that works out about 90m by 28cm of rolls). But then everything that can gets vacuum sealed and dumped in the freezer - I buy a couple of kilo of chicken breast and bag 'em as two * 125g breasts so it's a meal for two, and trimmings get cooked sous vide and bagged in two person portions for curries and stir fries, so I get through a lot of bags!
Does Amazon not stock them in Israel?

Buy from Amazon or such includes a nice portion of shipping, which makes it - in most cases - way too expensive. Plus it have to pass customs, that may - or may not if you are lucky - cut their bits... Not to mention that certain items has a 'This item does not ship to' tag on it...

So this MoH is also against the use of yoghurt and cheese? How about a Limburger where the maggots come crawling if you open the package?
Don't immediatly panic when hearing "bacteria"; the amount of (foreign DNA) bacteria in/on you outnumber your own cells by 10 to 1.

They do not talk about bacteria of yogurt and cheese... but more serious, like salmonella - I just simplified the term, to spare me the translation...

As long as you don't try to cook meat that has been in the sun for three hours, you should be fine. If you need to burn the bacteria off, you're already taking too much risk.

What they actually wrote there, that cooking a chunk of meat at 45 C for 20 hours will make it into a 'hotbed' of bacteria - if it had a few now it has millions... Even it was super-fresh meat... So they advise to use it only with certain temperatures (over 55) and with minimum times (that depends)...

45 degrees is unhealthy for most becteria; that's why we do yeast in luke-warm water before adding it to the dough. You could heat it up more and pasteurize it, but that will not kill everything. Even if you sterilize it, it could still become contaminated later on.
The key here is washing your hands, often, and to keep food clean, cool and separated. Most salmonella is in the gut, and there could be a small colony on the outside of the meat. It's usually not throughout the entire meat; the surface area is the most risky one.
I used to cook all my meats until "over well done" for safety - destroying most flavor. Turns out you can eat some beef even raw (unless it has been sitting in the sun). The only thing I'm not allowed are stuff like oisters and such - something about a nono-virus? (Google doesn't recognize it, so I may be wrong again).

Meaningless drivel isn't appreciated here: if you have something to say, you are more than welcome to post it, provided it follows the guidelines at the top of the page.

recent whatsapp convo with the kids: a few messages had comments about ducks (the animals, not any alternative / sound-alike ... long story, but really "duck" is the animal)
but
every time I type/tap the letters d u c while it suggests "duck" it always also suggests "f*ck"
I thought these [google] keyboards are supposed to be smart and remember what words you used recently, well in messaging I've never sent the f-word, ever. I know some things better not to write down... I say it plenty, but never messaged it.
why no family safe filter on outgoing?
why no family-safe filter on auto-correct?
(best would be default on and settable / overidable by recipient or per message).
for ![Elephant | [mastadon]](https://codeproject.global.ssl.fastly.net/script/Forums/Images/elephant.gif) 's sake I'm messaging my kids, and while they can be annoying little shites this is not one of those times I want to be owned by auto-correct if typing in a hurry.

Probably because the "d" and "f" keys are right beside each other on a standard keyboard - so a "d/f swap" is a very high likelihood mistyping. And is a common word these days, it doesn't have the same impact it did on our parents.

I'm a bit of a river dweller too, my roots lie in the South-West river delta of the Netherlands near the river Schelde. I always liked to bike there and follow the river banks into Belgium near the city of Gent.

Sounds awesome.
We took a cruise recently and stopped in the Netherlands and Belgium, I thought they were very beautiful and wished we would have had more time to roam around.
