Sous Vide Water Baths, Sous Vide Cooker, 1000W Sous Vide Precision Cooker, Immersion Circulator Sous Vide Machine, Accurate Temperature and Time Control Sous Vide Cookbook Included

Only received it yesterday, testing it out today. Easy to follow instructions and so far so good. It reached temperature pretty quickly and all seems fine. It’s very quiet in operation and is maintaining the temperature according to the display.

Used this to do carrots and 1kg roast beef, both worked really well. Beef sliced easily and was nice uniform pink across the slice. Tasted divine. Kept water temperature accurately and turned off after cooking time. Great way to cook, prep, put in water bath, walk away and forget about it.

1 rib eyePlaced in vacuum bagSous vide for 60 mins at 60CSear each side for 30 to 60 seconds= the best steak I have EVER tasted. Much more meaty/beefy flavour and a texture that was meltable.The ease of use is a massive positive. I didn't need the instructions to work it. Easily readable screen, keeps the temperature constant. It's not noisy at all.I've also tried potatoes that after sous vide cooking, baked off in the oven, suitably seasoned. Really lovely dinner.Because I was busy, I sous vide the potatoes in the morning, kept them in the vacuum bag and then roasted later on, so with planning, this could also be a time saver for a busy kitchen.I'm keen to develop this knowledge into exciting recipes in the future.I'm 52 and wonder why I didn't know about sous vide years ago. Still, enjoying catching up lost time.Enjoy this with no regrets. Magic bit of kit.NB: I've got a small kitchen but I did also get an 11litre Sous vide tank. I have to be creative with space so when finished, the tank water goes into my water butt for the tomato plants and use the tank to store all sous vide paraphernalia. Works for me.

This is a whole new way to cook. I wish the unit came with more cooking instructions, or a link to some recipes. But I love the product. It is easy to understand and whisper quiet. Our first meal came out perfectly medium rare.

Does what it says on the packet

Edit:I tested several more times and discovered that the first time you switch it on it will always overheat. However if you physically remove some water and add cool water to bring it down to no more than 10C below your required temperature it will then raise it correctly and hold it exactly at the correct temperature for hoursBUT...when you then add your food (which wasn't chilled) it then immediately overheats to more than 10C above the set temperature and once again you have to juggle around removing water and adding cooler water until it finally starts behaving again.This is not fit for purpose and without pretty constant supervision (exactly not what it says it needs) your cooking will be ruined!Definitely NOT recommended.The manual states how important it is to maintain the temperature accurately and states that even 1 degree difference will make a huge difference therefor the VPCOK is accurate to within 0.5 degree. It also states it requires no supervision! My first test (without food luckily) I set the machine to maintain a temperature of 50 degrees for one hour, I filled the bath with cold water (21 degrees) and it rapidly raised it to the desired temperature and the timer started, however it continued to raise the temperature and quickly hit 70 degrees when the alarm sounded, after less than five mins. The instruction manual says turn it off and lower the water temperature (bearing in mind of course if this had food in the bath it was still cooking and cooking quicker than it should.) I did this and reduced the temp down to about 40 degrees, when it started up again, quickly got to 50 and then started the timer, yet again it carried on heating until it was once again more than 20 degrees above desired temp when the alarm sound again.I tried a second test adding cold water and setting the device to heat to 30, again it raised the temp to 30 sand started the timer but yet again it kept climbing and this time the alarm went off at 60 degrees, 30 more than desired. I was also checking this against another thermometer which disagreed by only 1 or 2 degrees, so I know what the temperature was.I will give it a couple of more tests but should they fail it will be going back for a full refund.

Its not the fanciest, it doesnt come a linked app. However, quick google searched of temperatures and times, solves the problem. Its easy to set up, easy to use and works fine. Good price too. Not bad at all.

Very easy to set up , works perfectly. Digital display keeps it simple
