Anyone use this for sous vide cooking? I have a Sansaire, but Anova or Nomiku should be the same. Want to cook something big!

Technically, yes. I mash grains in the cooler for brewing beer and it works very well. Method: 1. get liquid up to temp 2. add food 3. bring back up to temp 4. pour in cooler and cap notes: I have never mashed longer than 2 hours. Final mash temp is usually near 160F. Remember, sous vide is not designed for large items, it can leave foods in the danger zone 40F-140F for way too long.

Get a tomato knife and another chefs knife, or a Santoku if you prefer a flat blade. I prefer a chefs knife and wish I had gotten a second one instead of the Santoku.

The NuWave is a portable unit--one of the tv infomercial products. Amazon also carries it. Yours is probably higher end than the portable two-fer-one unit I have. But it works very well, and since my regular stovetop isn't due for an upgrade yet, (knock on wood, don't need that expense). My stock pot is a 6 quart stainless steel I've had for several years. Bobby Flay probably endorses a good product. the Belgique pan we started discussing befre being side tracked on induction units is a nice pan. I particularly like the rounded shape. Good look with your search.

Suzanne, I bought A NuWave Pic. I opted for the higher end unit. I split my order with my son. He has used his extensively and is very impressed with it. I broke mine in on fried chicken. I've never had oil temperature control like this before. Good luck with your decision.

I have this model and it works great. Prime Rib, chicken is awesome on it. Found pork roast smoked up the room too much from fat on roast but it was good tasting.

I have used them numerous times for Sous Vide with out issue. Though sealing the bags can be a bit tricky with the Vac Master due to the shape of food. So I double seal sometimes especially for long sous vide times. I thought they were FDA BPA free but would recommend contacting VacMaster directly. Not worth washing.

I have both the isi and the Molecular-R whip siphons and they both do a great job. I've used them to make various whipped creams and for molecular gastronomy recipes. I use it the most often for instant infusions for cocktails. And both brands do an equally good job at all of these tasks. The biggest plus to the isi is that most of its parts are dishwasher safe. The canister, the top, and the difuser can all go in the dishwasher, which makes cleanup a lot easier. Also I don't think you can get a 1 liter version of the Molecular-R, though I almost never meed the 1 liter version and it takes more CO2 canisters to user. The 0.5 liter size is the most useful in either brand, in my opinion.

I have used it exclusively for sous vide on my counter top and have had no problems. There are actually ridges on the bottom of the box that keep it from sitting flush on the counter and allows for airflow. Works perfectly.

The majority of the posts are positive. However, a few fuss about "breakage" and/or the heating element dying out after a couple of uses.What model is yours? I am begining to comprehend the proper uses and the best recipes, but "model numbers" are not given with the posts.MML

Weird coincidence that you should ask. I presume you're asking because (like me) you want to use this as part of a sous vide project. Mine died during the cooking of Thanksgiving turkey. I don't know for certain that heat was the cause of the failure, but the plastic parts had warped, so it seems clear the casing was never designed for high temperatures.

It is unsafe to re-use any kind of bag in cooking, especially sous vide. Don't do it. Just consider them an expendable item.

Yes it does. You will love the Sous Vide. It will make your food preparations perfect and cooking in general simple and fun. I have told everybody I know and meet about this way of cooking.

Yes! 57C for 1 hour per inch thickness will do it. Don't salt until after you've sous vided. Blog.nomiku.com has tons of recipes.

I purchased the nuwave, from commercial, two of them (second one free.... har, har) and pans set, and grills, and pressure cooker. The shipping was several hundreds of dollars!!!! But I do love induction cooking especially with old place and new place having only electric. BUT!!!!!!! Although I used one sparingly over 2 years (we are a 2 microwave in kitchen family and large one in laundry room - we are masters at microwave cooking), when I hand carried it to my new place two of the screws fell out of the bottom feet and not replaceable making it probably unsafe to use. I trashed it. When I got the second one out of box, after being in inside storage for two years, it is defective. Using a candy thermometer I can only get water temp up to 210 F degrees, just under a boil. I am female, don't usually handle my possessions harshly or ever use excessive force with tools and equipment, and have a lot of fine delicate things that I haven't broken in over 60 years...... That said, I'm really disappointed in the (non)longevity and (non)endurance of the nuwave induction burners. (They were out of warranty.) I am in the process of purchasing a new induction cooktop and later, after saving up some funds, will purchase a second one. We especially love grilling and searing proteins indoors using induction cooktop and pressure cooking takes only minutes for just about anything. It does take a little practice to learn how to keep fats/oils from spattering when using searing temps on the grill and skillets but so worth learning especially when weather is too bad for outdoors cooking/grilling.

I have this same question. Jacob or anyone else, did you ever determine if the Daiken Envi is just a rebadge of this one - as the photo would suggest ? Is anyone using it using a Daikin mini-split ?

Goes a little farther than your question, but if I were buying again, I would buy a model that makes more than two taiyakis. Takes a long time to cook enough to feed guests or family.

I bought the regular size, and use it for small amounts if I'm just cooking for two. I bought the mini for a friend. We may do a side by side test run to see if the mini delivers more smoke flavor to the same sized chicken breast or piece of salmon.
