    Sous Vide Bath?

    Anyone used one of these:



    If I had seen it before I got the Anova, I may have picked one up. Seems a little easier to use, but maybe limited capacity.

    Actually looks pretty decent except for size, kinda small. The beauty of an immersion machine is you can stick it in a variety of containers so you have a lot of flexibility. But for $100 that's not too bad a deal.

      That's a nice starter and 2nd Sous Vide bath. I just don't want to miss out on the fun of all the containers I can mod! It would be great for somebody who needs two (all of us?).

        It looks really nice. I like how easily the Anova stores. I honestly believe that my wife would have made me get rid of one of the two crock pots (I have a large and small capacity) for space. The ring on my Anova broke and I tried to buy a new one. They refused - they sent me the replacement part for free.

          I really like the Anova. MCS had me for a moment when I saw this, but I got hold of it before it could make me reach for my wallet. tbob4, good to know their customer service is like that.

            This is like a cheaper Sous Vide Supreme which really serves no purpose one the Anova/Joules were released and I can't see what benefit this thing provides over an Anova or Joule.

            The Anova/Joule can be used in your existing pots and have the same capacity as this thing plus they store much easier. But they also give you the flexibility to use in a march larger vessel if you want to cook something like a pork butt or brisket which clearly won't fit

              I also like my Anova. Especially handy when travelling. I take mine on vacation and when I visit my folks in Wilmington NC. Easy to cook a pork loin and finish on my stepdad's gasser.

                Nice unit if you have storage space for it. I already get complaints about how much stuff I have, and the Anova or the Joule take up a lot less room.

                  I started with a Sous Vide Supreme Demi. Bath types work very well, and I continued to use it as my go to even after getting the Nomiku IC. Then I got the Joule, and I gave my SVS to a friend. A well designed IC has serious upside over a bath type. Flexibility, capacity, and so on. Bath style have a couple pluses, like energy efficiency and noise level. The bath makes no noise at all. Any circulator will make some noise, even if it’s negligible. IC’s are generally more storage efficient, assuming your vessels are multitaskers.

                    Thanks Potkettleblack, it always helps to know the pros and cons. I'll stick with my Anova - it's actually time for me to use it again. Been a couple of weeks.

                    I really didn't have much choice in 2010. The Anova and Joule were still a few years away!
