6L Sous Vide Water Bath

2 out of 5 stars

Disappointing precision cooker

The unit does not feature a preheat feature, meaning you must guess a preheating time, and then add that to your cooking time. Temp control appears to only be effective if the basin is full, otherwise the unit tends to raise 2-8 degrees above the set temp. This might be because the technology is based on a slow cooker, so heating is indirect. The wire rack supplied does not offer much functionality, for example, stacking bags sideways or holding down bags. While only a 6 litre unit, it does take up a lot of space. Moverover, 6 litres is not much capacity. You can for example not prepare a portioned turkey in this unit or a medium sized gammon. Finally, the unit came with a very poorly wired SA plug. Compared to precision circulators or other similar home units, this unit does not offer value for money. Read more

Inexpensive home solution

I was very worried buying an inexpensive bath as it might not do the job. After using it for a month almost on a daily basis, I am as happy as punch. When filling the bath ensure that you preheat some of the water, then you do not have to wait for the Sous Vide Cooker to heat the water. Ensure the bath is close to the maximum level after inserting your vacuum bag. If you do this, you will have many tasty meals. Read more

Product is great for home use. Works 100%. Steel outsides heat up a lot more than one would imagine, making you worry about energy use (I made up a blanket to keep heat in and energy use down). 6 liter size is just about enough space for a family meal, so can't really cook and serve supper for more than 4 people unless you pre-cook items. However, these two groans aside, sous vide is the way to go - can't imagine what a steak snob I have become - and this little cooker is by far the best value for money available on the market.

What a disappointing sous vide

Review by Edward M. on 7 August 2017

This is by far the first purchase from Yuppiechef that does not deliver good results. I have never been disappointed with any purchase from Yuppiechef until now. This seems to be too basic, lacking ideal temperature control. Very confusing with its functionality, this from someone who has been doing sous vide cooking for more than 5 years and ordered few products.

Cooking style that can be applied to your daily preparation regiment. Taste everything like it's the first time.
