No problem. The microprocessor certainly takes some getting used to, but it is not the hardest thing in the world. But, you are completely responsible for installing the machine, which could cost an additional arm and a leg if you don't have the right connections to do it cheap. There are a few water lines in addition to several electric lines, an exhaust, and gas lines if you choose that model.Butterbean wrote: I've talked with Koch and may go visit them in the future.

Once you have the machine installed, though, they send out a technician to help acclimate you to the machine. Aside from that, they give you cook schedules for basic preparations, and some of them are pretty decent.
There also is a pretty smart food technologist over there, Noah Hall. He is always willing to give his time to answer any questions you might have.
Don't let them up-sell you on the time/temperature recorder. Our health department could care less about them. That add-on is expensive and the microprocessor can store processing conditions on a USB.
