Espressions Duo Sous Vide & Slowcooker

I've wanted to start cooking sous vide for some time now. After a lot of research and many especially expensive machines, I finally came across this device. The price is surprisingly low for a sous vide, but great if you're just starting out and don't know if you'll be using it often. I checked the machine temperature (regularly) with a second thermometer, every time it was spot on. It heats fairly quickly (of course you shouldn't put the water in it ice cold) and is quite easy to use. Actually a sous vide that can compete with the more expensive machines. In short, I would personally recommend it to anyone starting sous vide for the first time. Incidentally, it is recommended to purchase a good vacuum sealer and seal machine if you don't have one yet, I can recommend the Foodsaver FSV2860 Top Line, it can handle liquid and can be adjusted in speed.

Been looking for a sousvide device for a long time and finally chose this one by one of the reviews. And indeed, to start with, this is a fantastic device. Have prepared chicken, salmon, pork tenderloin, cod, lamb, in one week and the difference is huge. And then I have not yet experimented with marinades and long cooking of tougher meat. The removable container is convenient for filling and emptying with water. The detachable cord is convenient for storing the device. I find the lid quite fragile. I'm afraid that if I ever accidentally drop it, it will irrevocably be completely broken. The temperature is very accurate. It does indeed take a long time to heat up, so filling with water that is already almost the right temperature is recommended.

Both the Sous Vide function and the Slow cooker function are a godsend if you want flexible meal times with your family. Prepared several dishes with both functionalities and not disappointed yet. Just spend an evening looking for recipes, do some shopping, prepare everything for the whole week on Sunday and hardly have to worry about it on the days themselves. And yet every evening healthy, varied and top-quality food.
