Karinear Sous Vide Machine 1100W Immersion Circulator with Temperature Time LED Display Stainless Steel Touch Control Silent Style for All Bodybuilder

I bought this just before Xmas because in addition to a Turkey crown, I'd bought 2x Fiorentina steaks (like extra, extra thick Porterhouse) 1.6kg each, over 3" thick. I hadn't considered how the heck I was going to cook them; most of the 13 guests don't like rare meat and the thought of over-cooking such expensive cuts filled me with dread. Sous Vide cooker to the rescue!Both cuts were already vac-packed from the butcher. I cooked for 3 hours at 56C then seared for a minute each side in a hot pan. Absolutely perfect pink throughout, and so much flavour.I have since used for 'reguar' 1" steaks and a chicken curry (the latter took a little experimenting with the timing to get the texture spot-on, but super tender results!)My kids are fussy about 'doneness' (if that is even a word) particularly with red meat, so this device will take all of the guess work out of it.Going to try a cheap topside joint next, apparently turns out the texture of fillet!*I chose the version without the sealer, think it was around £68 at the time, for now I'm using zip-lock bags and using the technique of dropping into water to force all of the air out. I'll probably get a vac-pac machine later on.

Nice simple, efficient piece of kit

This was a gift from my son who has used it several times & is very happy with the results. He especially likes the resealable bags which are reusable and also remove the need for a machine to heat seal the disposable plastic bags supplied with most sous vides

Good and not noisy, but doesn't work with smaller pots

Its the first time I have owned or used a sous vide. Im south african and love meat and braai.. Using this for 1.5 hours then quick sear on the grill is divine. The flavors and tenderness is next level. The machine and app are easy to use. Done lemon and herb chicken as well and amazed by the flavors.

UPDATE:After explaining the problem to the supplier they are sending me a replacement.——————————————I bought this product on the 28 Jul 2024, it is now Feb 2025. The product worked fine for a while but now has no temperature control as it boiled down to nothing almost 18 litres of water in the sous vide bath overnight making the whole room look like it had been jet washed damaging some paintwork on the walls a ceiling, not to mention ruining £36 worth of meat.The temperature was set to 60°c and it was showing 60°c on the app but the temperature it reached was boiling the water.I have done a test in just water, set the temp to 60°c then left it for a while. I then checked the app which said ‘cooking 60°c’ but when I looked at the display on the device it said 89°c and the water was starting to bubble/boil.The device is clean with no limescale so I can only imagine the thermostat is not working.

Iam a convert easy to use we use it via the app, meat is much more moist you can even make ice cream the mind boggles get the recipe book as well there are various ones on Amazon most American but easy to convert measurements

Good value for money. Works very well.
