LIPAVI L20 Sous Vide Rack | Fits 26qt LIPAVI C20 Container | Heavy-Duty 316L Stainless Steel | Premium Rust-Proof Design for Even Cooking | Adjustable Dividers

I recently took the plunge into sous vide cooking. Rather than going immediately with the relatively expensive Sous Vide Supreme, and risking the higher loss from purchasing what could have been a one-off device, I decided to go small for testing purposes. After doing research, I decided on the Anonva Precision Cooker and a Cambro 4.75-gallon box as a water tank. I then looked for a rack or some other device to use instead, and found nothing that fit what I had in mind. I used the standard binder clip arrangement for a while, then, a couple of weeks ago, I checked again for a solution and found these Lipavi racks. Apparently a brand new item, they looked to be the perfect solution. With the thought of eventually upgrading to the Sous Vide Supreme, I especially like that this set will fit it, making the price even better. The 10.8" x 8 inch set fits perfectly in my Cambro, leaving approximately four inches of space between the tank wall and the rack; plenty of room for the Anova. The racks are nicely adjustable. The outer two racks are permanently attached, and fold down for storage. The remaining racks are removable, and adjust by placement in corresponding slots, allowing you to choose a size adequate for your portion sizes. I find if additional weight is needed above the cooking bags, two 1/4 size cooling racks (example link at the end of this review) sit nicely on top of and cover the rack. As to durability and quality, the literature that came with the racks advises not to leave them immersed for long periods of time ("weeks," the manual says). I have had these completely immersed for three straight days, having cooked three separate meals in so many days, without any sign of rust on any part of the racks. Anyone familiar with cheap home canning equipment has surely experienced the irritation of rusted "stainless" steel, not the case with this set. As for now, I could not be more pleased with these racks. I'm including two photos showing the placement of the 10.8" x 8" rack set in the Cambro 12189CW135 box. Pros: Nice, well-made, hefty racks. After three straight days of submersion, the racks show no sign of rusting, even at soldered joints. Adjustable, and folds/stacks to a nice, small footprint set secured with an included Velcro strap. Cons: None at this time. Example set of 1/4 size cooling racks, as mentioned above: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00MHSX5UA/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o09_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I mainly Sous Vide for two people and so using a smaller plastic bin saves water and electric. I needed something that would keep items submerged as well as separate when doing two or three bags. This is nice and everything is configurable. The dividers pop in and out in different places. The size is perfect for smaller cooks or for larger bins where you don’t want to use the entires space. Since it comes apart, it is very easy to clean. It’s also a nice weight and feels very sturdy and stable. Definitely recommend this item.

I was debating between the different sizes of Lipavi's Sous Vide racks and decide to go for this L10 model over the 26SD model that is $10 more expensive and the R20 model that is $10 cheaper. For me, this model was the perfect size. The 26SD that is $69.00 would have been too big for the container I use most regularly, and I think I would have found the R20 to be ONLY useful for the container I regularly use and not very useful for when I use larger containers for when cooking for guests. This Sous Vide Rack is just small enough to fit in my 12 Quart Polycarbonate Container ( Camwear Polycarbonate Square Food Storage container, 12 Quart ) that I use more regularly for cooks that are just for me and/or my family....but at the same time I think it is also big enough for when I use the 4.75-Gallon Polycarbonate Container ( Cambro 12189CW135, Polycarbonate Camwear Boxes, 4.75-Gallon, Clear for whenever I am cooking larger items or a bigger quantity of food if I am having guests. As you can see in my pics, this L10 model rack squeezes into my 12 Quart Container with the Anova Immersion Circulator with no issues. Lipavi is really generous with the number of racks/dividers they provide. I do not anticipate using more than 3 (in addition to the end pieces that are permanently attached), resulting in 5 divided spaces, simply because I do not really cook things that require such narrow spaces in large quantities. However, it is nice to know I can do so if I want and that I have extra racks/dividers if I need and/or break or lose any. MORE IMPORTANTLY, the instructions that came with the box suggested using the extra racks to hold the food down in the slots and prevent it from floating to the top in the water. When I was looking for a rack, I was merely looking for something to keep the different packets of food from sticking to each other in the water, but I did not realize a rack could also solve my problem of sometimes food floating to the top and not staying submerged to get properly cooked. With this rack, the different packets will remain separated from each other AND stay submerged.

Wow...SO AWESOME and SO SIMPLE! BIG THUMBS UP!!! It works exactly as you'd imagine. Works just like a letter sorter, but with adjustable slots. You drop the food "envelope" in the slot, it stays in place (you can adjust it to make it snug), and it cooks right where you put it. You can designate just the right gap between food "envelopes" to make sure the water circulates and things cook right. The one thing I'd say is with a wand sous vide device and normal "square" 12 quart tub this rack is a tight fit. It works just fine, but the rectangular tub works a bit better. I learned this after seeing my brother's larger rectangular tub. Nothing is worse than being jealous of a sibling's sous vide tub! So...In short...The Lipavi L10 is AWESOME! Just make sure you have a large enough I wish a solution to sous vide bagging was as simple as this solution to how to keep the bags organized in the tub. You can buy this and count on it to do exactly what you expect it to. You won't be disappointed!!

Das Gestell passt perfekt in die Wanne (hier 18 Liter). Da schwimmt nichts mehr auf, auch bei ein wenig Lufteinschluss. Da schwimmt nichts vor den Sous Stick. Alles wird gleichmäßig vom Wasser umspült und gegart. Die Trenngitter sind variabel und können leicht versetzt werden. Sie sind trotzdem sehr stabil. Gehört einfach zum Paket dazu (Wanne, Deckel und Gestell). Einen Wermutstropfen gibt es jedoch doch. Der Preis scheint mir ein wenig zu hoch. Da dürfte es gerne eine Anpassung geben. Da ich aber mit dem Produkt so zufrieden bin, schon mal Gin für € 50,- kaufe, sage ich mal, ein Luxusproblem und gebe die volle Punktzahl. Must have für jede/n Sous Vide Köchin/Koch.

I USED IT TO COOK CHICKEN BREASTS. ABSOLUTELY PERFECT, COOKS EVENLY,THERE IS NO SHRINKAGE OF MEAT AND RACK HOLD PACKS DOWN AND NOT FLOAT TO THE TOP OF PAN.

Es funcional.

Habe lange nach einem passenden Rack gesucht (Topf-Innendurchmesser ca. 26 cm, Topfhöhe innen ca. 19 cm, Sous vide Stick (Wancle) ca. 6 cm). Die Maßangaben der Rack-Angebot sind ja mit vorsicht zu genießen. Durch die Antwort bei den Kundenanfragen zu den Maßen (von Dirk Lakomy am 16. Juli 2019, DANKE!), hatte ich Mut gefaßt und mir eine Schablone "gebastelt", das "Ding" bestellt, und... Alles bestens, paßt und schon erfolgreich ausprobiert!

At first I thought this was pricey but its definitely well worth the money, great size and well made . Should last me years!!
