Description

Get access to the best sous vide recipes and control Joule, the world’s smallest, most powerful sous vide tool, with the Joule App. From raw to ready, the app coaches you through the whole process, so cooking sous vide is simple. Just pick what you want to cook, and we’ll walk you through the rest.

The Joule App includes groundbreaking features like Visual Doneness, precise temperature control from anywhere, and a robust collection of recipes and cooking guides created by the ChefSteps team. Joule and its app were built and designed from scratch to work together, and we’re just as dedicated to the quality of our products as we are to the food we make with them. You can read more about Joule and the Joule App in publications like CNET, Wired, Lifehacker, Food & Wine, and Network World.

HOW DOES THE JOULE APP WORK?
You tell us what you’re cooking, we tell you when it’s ready. Making a two-inch steak? Great. Just tap the Start button, and Joule will set a timer for perfect doneness. Get notified when your steak is ready—and we’ll also tell you how much longer it can stay in the water without overcooking.

WHAT IS INCLUDED IN THE JOULE APP?

• Exclusive access to our cooking guides: The app comes with step-by-step guides for everything from perfect fried chicken, to succulent salmon, to the best steak you’ve ever had in your life, helping you unlock the power of sous vide. What’s even better? We’ll keep adding new guides (and updating old ones) all the time.

• Visual Doneness: Choose exactly how you want your food to look when it’s done, then press go, and Joule does the rest. No more filtering through online forums to get the information you need. Visual Doneness takes the guesswork out of sous vide.

• Step-by-step instructions, so you can learn as you go: Every cooking guide comes loaded with quick videos that’ll teach you new techniques and help you get the best results.

• Notifications that let you know when your water is hot and your food is done, no matter where you are. Not ready to eat? We’ll tell you how much longer your food can stay in without overcooking.

• Bluetooth and Wifi control, so you can cook from anywhere.

WHAT IS SOUS VIDE COOKING AND HOW DOES IT WORK?
Chefs have been cooking sous vide for decades to get perfect proteins and amazing new textures. But, it’s not fancy or complicated—Joule heats water to a very specific temperature, so you can cook food gently, with super-human precision. The water never gets hotter than you want the food to be, so it won’t overcook.

CAN I STILL USE THE JOULE APP IF I HAVE ANOTHER SOUS VIDE TOOL, LIKE NOMIKU, SANSAIRE, OR ANOVA?
Absolutely! You can still use our sous vide guides and Visual Doneness in the Joule App to figure out your favorite times and temperatures, then manually set your other tool and make amazing meals at home.

Ability to add comment to custom cook

jouleUser on

Why would you not add this feature. Shame on Breville Joule Just a simple text string of 25 characters would be great. Just to know what you cooked. How many people can remember what they cooked and at what temperature 3 moths ago. You have a great product. Make it better. 6 months and no changes to the app let alone not even a simple comment field added to history. I assume the app is locked as far as changes go and it is what it is.

Is there a new app coming?

KindlyTurnip on

Ever since your app went grey a few months ago, it hasn’t been working properly. The auto timer while preheating no longer works. And the Wi-Fi disconnects constantly. We’ve been waiting patiently for a new app for several months so we can use our Joule properly again.

I Want to Be Able to Cook Fast and Without Having to Use My Phone

DJ Karv on

My Joule finally bit the dust and I replaced it with a much cheaper InkBird device that works great and has manual control on the device. As a bonus, it’s nearly silent in operation. Having to use my phone to cook got old pretty quickly.

Nice app, needs an Apple Watch complication

Robbie B on

This app works well. I like the step by step vids. Would love to have an Apple Watch complication that shows the timer countdown. Or have it appear as a panel within the Siri Watch face :)

Great app

Chart fan on

Not sure what all the negative reviews are about. This app is fantastic, I hope the devs and product mgr are proud. The app connects very quickly to my phone, the app is simple to use and has lots of examples to further help and guide. I do wish I could monitor/control from my iWatch, and I wish I could program custom recipes, but other than that, I’m very happy. Good job!

The app is an advertisement portal to sell you more crap

ExploringFeatures on

Glitchy app. Very annoying. too many pop ups and advertising for new products. Would rather be able to control the Joule from the device itself. The app is not a feature.

Buy A Different Sous Vide

Cjjm2281748 on

This thing is garbage. It is the most bloated piece of software I’ve ever seen. Do yourself a favour and buy a sous vide machine that doesn’t require you to jump through fifty hoops to get up and running. Hey Joule: 1. Don’t make me input my name and email just to turn on the machine. 2. Don’t ask me 1000 questions about what I’m cooking. I know what I’m cooking. Just shut up and turn on to 135*. 3. Don’t software lock this device, that I paid $300 for, to a single user. There is ZERO reason for this. I paid $300, I (and whoever else) can use it however I please. This thing has two functions: A: heat water to a given temperate B: turn off after a given amount of time How in gods name you managed to screw that up is beyond me. Your machine is good, your software is absolute, complete, unadulterated crap.

Highly overpriced and very unreliable app

JFMHSD on

Sous vide is a great way to cook! But this is a grossly overpriced item, and you get zero preferred access to ChefSteps even after spending too much on the hardware (Studio Pass should be free with Joule) and somehow some way the app just won’t work about ~50% of the time. Troubleshooting never works, I’ve had to contact them several times and they’ve never found a way to provide reliable consistent app performance. Really really bad, there are much less expensive options, and I’ll be switching over soon. Extremely disappointing.
