I hadn't heard about that oven, looks pretty damn great. Consider me very interested, going to follow this one. I never invested in sous vide gear, but was tempted. This looks better.
If they should make a mistake and send me a check I think I would use it as a down payment n a Miele coffe machine. My Miele steam oven does sous vide bud I have ever used it for that purpose.
Not all restaurants have dedicated delivery staff on their payroll. Unless you plan to pickup your order, ordering through these services may be their only options if you want your food delivered.Order directly from restaurants instead of using Skip, Doordash etc. The restaurants need to pay like 10% to those guys when you order through them.

It's pretty great! $600 is expensive, but pretty cheap for the feature set you get. I have a thread on it here: (nickname is the "APO" short for Anova Precision Oven)
Meet my $600 toaster oven
TL,DR: This is a cool new oven that (1) automates cooking to (2) give you perfect results. It's expensive, but 100% worth it if you want to save money by cooking at home & eat delicious food all the time without really trying. This is an Easy Bake Oven for Adults lol.

If you're willing to cut through the camouflage that cooking is hard, this oven allows you to get right to the heart of it, i.e. perfectly cooking whatever meal, side, snack, or dessert you're going after. Like, I make an "egg loaf" in a 5" square pan using Sous-Vide Mode aka SVM (no bag & no water bath required!). This bakes out a perfectly-cooked omelet, which I then add to a grilled cheese sandwich to make the most ridiculously good breakfast sandwich I've ever had:

I can simply blend up some eggs, pour them into a casserole dish, and add some ingredients like frozen broccoli & ham cubes, cook it using SVM, then sprinkle some shredded cheese on top & switch to broiler mode:

Or perfectly cook up some SVM pork tenderloin, SVM mashed potatoes, and steamed green beans:

Or sous-vide up a burger, then fry it in a skillet to get a crust, then broil some cheese on top while warming up the buns:

The idea isn't being a master chef or working really hard to make food all the time - it's all about letting the machine provide the perfect core of your meal, whether it's a burger, eggs, etc. And because it's multi-function (sous-vide, airfry, dehydrate, bake, etc.) you can do multiple steps & save those as multi-stage recipes in the app! It's hard to convey how useful this machine really is, and why $600 is a steal, and why it's worth saving up for if you're like me & are on a budget. Huge huge huge impact on my monthly food budget, quality of food, and consistency in terms of delivering amazing breakfasts, lunches, dinners, and snacks. It's kind of like owning that oven from BTTF 2 - it magically cooks stuff for you!
Mind showed up today also, so I'll be living it up big on my $1.64 a day...Don't have any particular plans for the money but it's in my checking account this morning.
People who own Miele anything don't qualify for relief
Some people really need this money. I'm happy for all the people who got the first stimulus checks and this check as well. While you make fun of this check amount, at least you were lucky to receive it. How you use this money is up to you.Mind showed up today also, so I'll be living it up big on my $1.64 a day...
I get it that people are hurting, desperate, waiting hours and hours in food lines, etc..Some people really need this money.

I know people who YOLO the first round of the stimulus checks in the stock market and turned that $1,200 check into five and six figure amount. The first round of stimulus payment went out when the stock market was down big. If you had used your $1,200 check to buy Tesla leap call options, that $1,200 would be worth ~$250,000.
This guy turned $463 into $1 million by simply buying TSLA call options and holding for 18 months.
TSLA is not the only stock. Almost everything was down in the dumpster when things crashed because of the corona panic. And that's when the first round of the stimulus checks went out. PENN dropped below $4. It closed yesterday at $86. That's over 20x from the low.maybe i should use my 600$ to buy long puts on TSLA
wait, i didn't get 600$
We get it, you can make lots of money from the stock market.. IF you have the money. However, you do realize that most people who received a check probably need that money to feed their family and put a roof over their heads? So buying stocks is the last thing on their mind.TSLA is not the only stock. Almost everything was down in the dumpster when things crashed because of the corona panic.

The point is you could've thrown a dart and bought pretty much any stock and made money. So I have zero sympathy if you received a check and crying the check is too small. There are many of us who didn't get a check and won't be getting one.

Yet Republicans insist consumer driven economy doesn't work.I had also read that Walmart were sold out of TVs when the checks were first sent out.
