Product Description

Andrew James Black Premium Sous Vide Water Bath Oven With Slow Cooker Function

Sous Vide Cooking is one of the latest sensations to hit the gastronomic world. It's been used in top restaurants around the world, and now you can try it in your own home

Essentially this process involves sealing your food in a vacuum pouch, then submerging it in water and cooking at a carefully controlled temperature

The slow cooking of the food ensures that all of the flavour is retained in the food, meat remains tender and none of the juices are lost

Also as the temperature is carefully controlled, it means that the food is not burned or overcooked

The Sous Vide also has a slow cooker function ideal for producing delicious homemade stews, curries, soups and broths

The slow cooking process allows you to use cheap cuts of meats to become full flavoured and tender by the end of the cooking process

In a stylish black colour, a 5.5 litre capacity and 40-90 degree C temperature range this is a great addition to your kitchen and opens up a range of new recipes for you to try

Please Note: Food and Vacuum Storage Bags Not Included

Excellent entry level device with some limitations
By steve sheardown
I bought this for Christmas having spent a lot of time reading about sous vide cooking and I was eager to try it but didn't want to splash out too much; this machine seemed to represent good value in a small package. There were no reviews of this actual model and no information on the Andrew James website (I emailed them for more details but got no reply so that was a bit shabby), however it is looks identical to the Giles and Posner machine re-badged and was selling at a bargain price so I decided to have a go.Delivery was very speedy and the machine came well packaged. It is easy to set up and the control panel is reasonably obvious although as a reviewer of the G&P machine pointed out there is no option for timing beyond 24h which is irritating. It can be got around though, just don't press the start button once you've got the bath to temperature and the timer won't count down although you do have to put up with a flashing red light for the duration.Bath capacity is good enough for a family meal, it's an attractively finished machine and the footprint is small enough for my kitchen counter so as a practical addition to the armoury I'm very happy with it. The slow cooker function is a good option to have although it's a bit larger than most so I probably won't use it for that very often. Would be good for a hearty winter casserole though.Like the G&P machine, temperature control is in 1 degree increments. I don't see that as a problem; maintaining water bath temperature with greater precision than this is not really feasible at this price point and largely unnecessary. Temperature holding is very good with little movement, however my bath is between 1.5 and 2 degrees hotter than set as measured with a lab grade thermocouple so I'd advise anyone buying this to invest in a temperature probe and compensate accordingly. I haven't tested accuracy across a range yet so I don't know if the calibration error is consistent. Anyway as long as you measure the temperature independently the results are excellent; so far I've tried belly pork and salmon and both were outstanding.In summary I'd recommend this as an entry level machine, it's good value as long as you are not bothered by the minor niggles.
