I figured it wasn't cold enough. The idea would be to dump the latent heat in the water. So at least you start from room temperature water and chill it from there. I'm guessing this still wouldn't get cold fast enough, but I don't know how fast "fast enough" is.

Yeah, I wouldn't risk it. It's hard to get much cooling power within home kitchen constraints. Really kinda sucks.

Douglas Baldwin has a little on it at http://www.douglasbaldwin.com/sous-vide.html

You could probably find it from one of his sources if you cared enough. It made my brain hurt.
