Intro: Sous-vide Arduino Shield*NOTE* THIS PROJECT IS DONE BY A GROUP OF STUDENTS FROM SINGAPORE POLYTECHNIC
Sous-vide (/su˕ˈviË•d/; French for "under vacuum")[1] is a method of cooking food sealed in airtight plastic bags in a water bath for a long time—72 hours in socases—at an accurately determined temperature much lower than normally used for cooking, typically around 60 °C (140 °F). The intention is to cook the item evenlyovercook the outside while still keeping the inside at the same 'doneness' and to keep the food juicier.
Items needed:Arduino Uno x 12x16 LCD x 1RGB x 1LM35 Temperature Sensor x 1Sparkfun Solid State Relay (SSR) Control x 11K ohm Resistors x 6
Push Buttons x 3Vacuum Pump x 1Electrical Heating Appliance x 1AC Face Plate x 1AC Plug x 1

Step 1:DIY Sousvide Arduino Shield
Solder the following components into an Arduino Sousvide Shield as shown:2x16 LCD x 1RGB x 1LM35 Temperature Sensor x 1Sparkfun Solid State Relay (SSR) Control x 11K ohm Resistors x 6Push Buttons x 3
Purpose of the components:
Arduino Uno - Prototyping platform for testingLCD - Display results (eg. temperature)RGB - Visual signalLM35 Temperature Sensor - Detect temperatureSSR - Electronic switching device in which a small control signal controls a larger load current or voltagePush Buttons - Setting
1. Preparation of food with vacuum pump- Place your ingredients into a ziplock bag- Use a vacuum pump to vacuum seal the ziplock bag
2. Electrical heating appliance- Fill an electrical boiler or cooker with water
3. Waterproof LM35 temperature sensor- Place the LM35 temperature into a straw- Seal the both end of the straw
4. Set up DIY sousvide- Hook up Arduino Uno with the DIY Arduino Sousvide Shield and run the code- Place the waterproofed LM35 temperature sensor into the electrical heating applicance which is filled with water- Submerge the vacuum sealed ziplock bag which contain ingredients into the water bath
5. Ready for COOKING!!!
