Sous vide with HC2

Now on the earlier setup I have crock pot, thermo controller and PT100 control sensor probe, with about 20 cm metallic tip, which I can dip into water. Something like this one:

With Universal sensor I have to change the probe. DS18B20 temperature probes seem to be shorter, like this one:

How well does the rubber isolation stay in shape, when I dip it to ~55-80 °C water? The probe should work up to 125 °C, but how will that be, when I practically boil the probe sometimes for days, over and over again? Will the probe last?

Or is there longer probes available? I did search, but did not find…

  • Thanks!

    I allready ordered some probes, we'll see how they work.

    One reason for building sous vide application with HC2 is that so I can alter the temperature also remotely, if plans are changing. More heat in hurry, but I can also drop heat, if I realize that the actual cooking will happen day later than planned.
