3 Gourmia Sous Vide Immersion Pods Reviewed & Compared

by Leave a Comment

Gourmia sous vide devices have slightly different names, and are sold under different titles depending on where you by. Sometimes they are called immersion circulators, sometimes immersion pods, sometimes sous vide pods, and any combination of the words above.

Despite the varying descriptions, what they do is all the same. They are an immersion circulator for cooking sous vide. This means you can get the same professional quality sous vide cooking of expensive restaurants in your own home. You don’t even have to buy one of those $700 water ovens. All you need is a pot or heat safe container and some Ziploc bags to get started.

5 WiFi Sous Vide Devices For Delicious Remote Cooking

by 40 Comments

After testing 13 immersion circulators, and doing research on another two future releases, I’ve collected very single WiFi sous vide device and organized them here on this page for you. I’ll cover the basics of what makes each unit unique, plus the pros and cons of each. Three of the five I’ve purchased and done more extensive reviews on, which will be linked within the mini review on this page. My top recommendation should be obvious, but I do give tips on why you might want to pick something different than would be my preference. Some people say that connecting your kitchen appliances to WiFi is excessive and unnecessary. I disagree. When you have a 2 hour cook time, babysitting food is no fun.

Immersion circulators are meant to “set and forget”, but it’s nice to have a reminder of things like current temperature, time left, or total time passed since you reached your target cook time. WiFi sous vide immersion circulators are great for just checking in to see how things are going rather than worrying about your steak dinner while you’re at the gym or needing to get off the couch to check your chicken breast.

AdirChef Digital Sous Vide Immersion Circulator Review

by 13 Comments

There’s not a lot of information online about the AdirChef brand or its products. In fact, as of the writing of this review, they seem to only make four things: a fruit press, two coffee makers, and this sous vide device. None of their products, with the exception of the immersion circulator, seem to be unique or interesting. I wonder if they started out as a sous vide company or how this unit was brought into production.

Maybe that stuff isn’t that interesting to you, but after testing 13 immersion circulators, I find it fascinating. Two other “one off” sous vide cookers that are worth reading about (but not buying) are from Travellor and Kitchen Masters. They weren’t that good – so those reviews will only be interesting if you are just curious to look at the different styles and features of immersion circulators out there. There’s a lot (I’ve reviewed them ALL now!)

Kitchen Masters Sous Vide Immersion Circulator Review

by Leave a Comment

As part of the extensive series of immersion circulators I bought in the past two months (13 to be exact), I bought the Kitchen Masters Immersion Sous Vide Immersion Circulator to review. In a nutshell, this device started out poorly, and ended poorly as well. Just speaking about performance, it was fine. It cooked my meals as expected. But there’s more to the experience of cooking sous vide!

Plus, there are some dirty details about what’s really behind this Kitchen Masters appliance. Keep reading to find out what that is! Or you can just take my word and look for a better immersion circulator.

Travellor Sous Vide Immersion Circulator Review

by Leave a Comment

In a frenzy last year, I bought every immersion circulator I could get my hands on. I wanted to review all of them so I could find the best. Unfortunately for me, but fortunately for you, the Travellor Immersion Cooker was one of the 13 devices that I bought. Though it was cheaper than most others, it was not really worth the price I paid, or the time I’m taking to write this review. Well, at least you get to read about my experience and learn from it, plus you can get a better immersion circulator for cooking sous vide.

Don’t get me wrong – the food turned out fine. It hasn’t broken yet, and I guess it’s what you would expect for being one of the cheapest devices on the market. But there are a number really great products on the market that just blow the travellor out of the water.
