ChillChain

ChillChain is a mobile + web app that focuses on the least glamorous but most failure-prone part of sous vide: cooling, holding, and reheating safely. Users log what they cooked (protein, thickness, bag type, starting temp), then the app generates a practical chill plan: ice-bath time, target core temp, fridge hold window, and reheat-to-serve steps. It includes a simple HACCP-style log for home power users and small pop-ups, plus timers and reminders that actually match real kitchen workflow (e.g., “swap ice,” “stir bath,” “move to fridge”). Optional Bluetooth thermometer support improves accuracy, but the MVP works with manual inputs. This isn’t a recipe library; it’s a safety-and-consistency tool that reduces waste, foodborne-risk anxiety, and the common ‘mushy/overcooked on reheat’ problem.
