Great new way to cook

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Out of the box my first impression was that the unit is very compact. I was expecting something much bigger but after two uses it is apparent that Hamilton Beach got the size right. The included use and care guide made it very easy to set up and operate. The guide even includes some recipes and a cooking chart. The control panel/display is very easy to read and the touch buttons respond quickly. My first experience with the sous vide was with beef rib eye steak. I used store-brand resealable bags and recipes are easily found online. My steaks came out perfectly medium rare, but unlike grilled or roasted steaks, the medium rare color was consistent through the entire thickness of each steak. A quick finish in a hot skillet and the steaks were professionally done. I look forward to using this sous vide nearly as often as a slow cooker. The 6 quart size will come in handy for those bigger dinners and knowing that the KEEP WARM setting automatically starts after the selected cooking time has finished is a great programmable feature of this cooker.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I Used the book that comes with it and made the chicken with Asparagus and brown butter , It turned out good but the recipe is missing info like after seasoning chicken you need to rinse that salt off before cooking .
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

An easy way to cook
on August 10, 2017

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was excited to get this as I have never cooked sous vide. The appliance arrived in the original box and was well packed. I like how small the footprint is, 14 1/2" x 10" x 8" and it is not heavy. The cord is short, 24". There are not a lot of pieces, the heating unit, pan, cover and a metal rack.
It is pretty simple to use. The instruction booklet was simple to read with illustrations and recommended temperatures and times for steak, chicken, fish and veggies.
I sous vide a steak for medium rare and it came out a little more medium. It could have been that I didn't use a thicker cut, so I will try a thicker cut next time.
The appliance, overall does its job. But, I thought the pan to put the water in wasn't deep enough, only four inches to the max water line. If you use the metal rack, the water may not cover your food entirely. Without the rack, you can lie two small steaks on the bottom of the pan. Also, you will need vacuum seal or plastic zipper bags.
I am glad I got this and will continue to use it. Will be fun to try it on other types of meats and veggies.
I would recommend this to a friend!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've wanted to try sous vide cooking but hated to give up kitchen space for another appliance. This was perfect! I get the best of both worlds with sous vide and slow cooker in one. The sous vide is so much easier to use than the portable units that you submerge o
In your own pot. You can set out and leave it with no worries.

Nicely made and sturdy like all of the Hamilton Beach products I own.

So Versatile

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this product to review and I love it. Its a large slow cooker; makes enough to feed an army. I was a little put off at first because I've never seen a slow cooker with a metal interior before. But it works great.
This was my first time using a Sous Vide cooker and I am thrilled with the results. I had some chicken breasts in the freezer that were nearly a year old. I seasoned them and transferred them to individual vacuum sealed bags and cooked them Sous Vide. I browned them in a pan after cooking and they came out juicy and delicious. If you are curious about trying Sous Vide cooking, this is the ideal cooker to buy because you get 2 in 1.

Good approach to sous vide.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It's a water oven aka sous vide that also acts as a crock pot, and has been excellent for making tender steaks, chicken, vegetables and onsen style eggs. My only complaint (hence the three stars instead of five) has been about the finish on the metal insert (it's very thin and has flaked off in spots on mine) and the fact that it doesn't circulate the water in sous vide mode.
