VacMaster SV1 Sous Vide Cooking Immersion Circulator

You’ve been wanting to try sous vide cooking. You’ve purchased a VacMaster SV1.

Sous vide cooking style started in France, and requires the food to be under pressure or vacuum sealed for cooking.

The SV1 is the immersion circulator used for sous vide cooking. An immersion circulator is immersed in a water bath, and heats and circulates the water to the desired cooking temperature. You may also hear them called precision cookers, because they keep the water at a precise temperature, giving you an evenly cooked meal every time.

The SV1 works in this way:

First the circulator heats the water, then it circulates it to maintain and even temperature throughout the water bath.

When the precise temperature you set it for is reached you simply add the bag with the food you wish to cook to the bath, and set the timer.
