Sous Vide Cooking

I was very surprised to see that the Sousvide Supreme was today available in Europe (Kookpunt.nl – Netherlands) at € 599 (incl. shipping?).
No star Chef, no Heston Blumenthal for the introductory in Europe of the so called  “water oven”?
So strange that the Sousvidesupreme (USD 449 in the US) is now almost as expensive as a Grant SV100 immersion circulator and 30% more expensive than a swid! Please keep in mind that, contrary to what was said in several articles on internet,  the Sousvidesupreme is not an immersion circulator but a non stirred water bath (PID controlled).

The sous vide world is definitely very active those last days. FreshMealSolutions announced some weeks ago to work on the launch of a bubbler (the FreshMealsMagic), Addélice with its thermal immersion circulator (the Swid) will be launched soon and finally Eades Appliance Technology LLC indicates on its site the SousVide Supreme will be launched October 23rd.

The SousVide Supreme site shows a very nice video illustrating the use of this “water oven” dedicated to sous vide. Their not so many information about the technology and the precision of the appliance available on the site.  Nevertheless, watching the video you can see their is no integrated pump to mix the water inside the container. We don’t know the capacity of the container but in any case will be limited to a personal use.

What I like in this product is the price, USD 450 (launche price USD 399 – does it include the shipping costs?), the design is reassuring, feminine and reminds bread baker or French fries appliances. It should be noted that the SousVide Suprem comes with a praticale rack to hold pouches inside the water bath.

It seems the SousVide Supreme will be first available in the USA with 120 V specifications.
