Joule Ready works in collaboration with the ChefSteps app to deliver a series of sous vide-prepared packages of sauce -- this features cultural flavors such as Salsa Chamoy, Roasted Red Pepper Walnut Muhammara, and Thai Green Curry. The way that the program works starts with a scanning process through the app -- the Joule Ready packages are scanned before it enables a selection of protein.
Once the protein is selected, users are able to add more meat or add vegetables to their order. The app automatically starts the Joule and it provides instructions on how to cook the remainder of the dish -- this process can feature grilling or pan searing as a finishing touch to the overall meals.
