Well, that didn’t take long. I picked up a new circulator last Friday off eBay (the seller was in San Francisco, so he let me save on shipping and pick it up from his house). This one is a Lauda MS and it’s a lot newer and more powerful at circulating water than my old Julabo circulator. It’s also a few inches taller, so I stopped by Kamei Restaurant Supply in San Francisco to pick up an 8-inch deep steam table pan.
The best part is that the Lauda came with a custom mounting plate that helps it fit perfectly in the opening of my hinged half-size lid, so when both half size lids are on the pan, it’s completely covered.
If you’re wondering, those are some pork belly pieces in the water bath. I’ll write more about those later. :-)

ohhh, pork belly! i could have sworn it was a spackling knife sitting under the plate
how much did this cost?
This one was $200 on a eBay Buy it Now auction. I hope it lasts longer than the old one.
