End of week one, and very happy
I've owned this for one week now, and must say I'm very happy. I've been thinking about buying the Sous Vide cooker for several months, but hesitated because of the price. I must say I've been impressed! The first thing I tried was to cook the "perfect egg". I never cooked a perfectly poached egg while it was still in the shell - but it works. The next thing I tried was a rib-eye steak. I always thought of myself as a master while in front of a BBQ, but this has made things too easy for me. You cook a steak to perfection every time, and finish it off with 30 seconds each side in a hot pan, or on a hot grill. Because you can hold the steak at the perfect temperature without over cooking it, you decide when you're ready to serve it.
The next day I tried cooking carrots. I don't eat a lot of carrots as I find them a bit boring, and lack flavour on their own. I threw them into the vacuum bag with only a small pad of butter. They came out as the most flavourful carrots I...
Great deal - in love.
I was willing to buy a sous vide gear / gadget for a while and this one was my first choice every time I did a research about it. Last time I decided to get this promo pack and I must say - this is great. First, the price = great for the pack! Besides it's not very easy to vide this specific vacuum sealer standalone.
The system works great, it's really good for poultry, meat, fish, pork - never tried with vegetables to be honest. The food is always tender and you'll be addicted to make new experiments with different temperatures and time, that's I bet.
Easy to clean, hard to storage - it's huge!
The cook book is ok, nothing special - never tried any recipe there.
Be prepared to get more bags fast, it comes with a small amout of them. Quick tip: you can cut them in smaller pieces if you are cooking small pieces!
Absolutely Fabulous
Meat comes out perfectly every time, and now that all meats are pricey, near perfect is not an option. Meat is juicy and flavorful never bland or dry. It's easy to operate and saves time. More importantly I can have a glass of wine before dinner and toast a great meal.
