Sous Vide Cookers

This collection covers two approaches to low-temperature sous vide cooking: immersion circulators that attach to a separate container and cookers with an integrated tank. The right choice depends on the required water-bath volume, available space and the way your cooking workflow is organised.

Immersion circulator or integrated tank?

Product FamilyModels and Capacities ShownChoose This Option If
Immersion circulators1000 W with a stated accuracy of 0.1°C; professional 1500 W Roner-style model.You already have a compatible container and want to adjust the water-bath volume or store the appliance easily after use.
Compact integrated tanks8.5 L stainless steel cooker and 12.5 L cooking station.You prefer a dedicated all-in-one system with a known capacity rather than selecting the container separately.
High-capacity water bath28 L Gastronorm model.You require a larger water bath and have sufficient worktop space.
Other integrated formatsProfessional GN cooker and sous vide cooker.You need a specific installation or operating format; check the capacity and dimensions on each product page.

Five criteria for choosing the right equipment

  • Usable capacity: start with the number and size of pouches that need to be immersed. Water must circulate around them, so nominal capacity does not automatically equal the usable volume once the tank is loaded.
  • External container: when using an immersion circulator, check the mounting system, required water depth and permitted container dimensions listed on the product page.
  • Power: the 1000 and 1500 W models should not be compared on wattage alone. Water volume, starting temperature and insulation also affect heat-up time.
  • Footprint: the 8,5 and 12.5 L tanks have a lower nominal capacity than the 28 L water bath. Check each appliance’s dimensions to compare space requirements. An immersion circulator frees up the container once removed.
  • Workflow: for repeated cooking cycles, plan for pouch handling, an optional lid, water replacement and cleaning.

Sous vide cooking requires a time-and-temperature combination suited to the product, together with appropriate hygiene, chilling and storage procedures. Also ensure that the bags are explicitly rated for the intended cooking temperature and duration.

Frequently Asked Questions About Sous Vide Cooking

How does low-temperature sous vide cooking work?

Food is placed in a sealed bag and then immersed in a water bath maintained at a precise temperature. Unlike direct cooking, the heat is gentle and consistent, helping to cook food evenly, provide better control over texture and reduce moisture loss.

What is the difference between an immersion circulator and a sous vide cooker with a built-in water bath?

An immersion circulator attaches to a compatible pot or container. It is compact, easy to store and allows you to adjust the volume of water to the amount of food being prepared. A cooker with a built-in water bath is an all-in-one solution: its integrated container makes setup easier and is better suited to frequent cooking, larger quantities or professional use.

Do you need a vacuum sealer to cook sous vide?

A vacuum sealer is recommended to remove air from the bag, keep food properly submerged and achieve more consistent cooking. Always use food-safe bags designed for sous vide cooking and the intended temperature. Vacuum sealing and cooking are two separate steps: the vacuum sealer seals the bag, while the cooker heats and regulates the water bath.

How do you choose the cooking temperature and time?

The temperature depends on the food and the desired result, while the cooking time varies according to factors such as its thickness, quantity and starting temperature. A higher temperature does not always replace a longer cooking time. For reliable results, follow a cooking chart suited to the food and observe food hygiene and safety recommendations.

How can you maintain even cooking for several hours?

Observe the minimum and maximum water levels specified for your appliance. The bags must remain submerged without blocking water circulation. For long cooking times, covering the container helps reduce evaporation and heat loss. Check regularly that the water level remains sufficient, especially when using an immersion circulator.
