Sous Vide Power Precision Cooker

This is the same sous vide circulator that was being sold on television a few years ago for "just three easy payments" of however much it was. I never buy off television and in this case it paid to wait. I see that it is now selling for $27.99 and I paid a little more than that just a few weeks ago. So, how does it work?If you plug the device in when it is not in the water, you will get an error code (EE1). I suspect that has happened to some of the reviewers. If the device is in the water and you get an error code and it shuts off, there is apparently something happening with waves inside the circulator and adding a bit more water solves the issue. How do I know? There is a troubleshooting guide in the owner's manual.How does it cook? Well, sous vide has its place. You can make delicious meals from relatively inexpensive cuts of meat because of the cooking times involved. It does a good job with veggies as well. I generally steam my veggies, but if you want to cook them in sauce, sous vide would be perfect.This is an 800 watt unit, so it may not work well with a 20 quart container. But if you're cooking for one or two, then 800 watts is all you probably need.EDIT: This unit looks somewhat like the Anova sous vide circulator, but there are differences. The diameter is larger, which means that covers made for the Anova will not work properly with the Power Precision unit. I also noted that the price has gone up since I bought mine.

Performs as advertised, initial use indicated higher temps than displayed. After several uses temps indicated were checked by other temp gauges and found to be accurate. Price was very reasonable.

First use was with pork tenderloin. Warmed water up quickly, kept precise temperature. After 1h15m, I tempted the meat- 145degrees like the water.The meat was so soft and perfect just like I had hoped.The device is pretty . the illuminated face and blinking blue light is easy to use. Comes with recipe book and a rack to hold foods. That is important because I will not be using my food saver for every meal.

I purchased this out of sheer boredom with my current diet. I have been amazed at the quality of the food that a rank amateur can produce. I have always had a problem with cooking fish and chicken breasts that were done correctly. With this little gem, it is not challenge at all. It is so simple anyone can use this cooker. Set the temperature and time from the cook book by tapping on the controls at the top of the cooker and sit back and wait for the best meal you have ever prepared.The steaks and pork chops are also out of this world!

Opened unit, Plugged in and EE2 shows up & unit will not operate at all, so I returned. Gave one as gift last year & they love it so it's a roll of the dice. I'll stick to my cast iron.

good

This is my first purchase for this type of product and so far I love it. I cooked Salmon and it came out cooked perfect and was melt in my mouth good. The wire basket was part of the final decision. I do not have a vacuum sealer and so that makes a huge difference in getting the food to stay submerged. I would recommend this product for price and quality.

It is nice and sturdy, easy to set up and a great price. The unit I received was noisy and displayed an EE1 error code after one use. Had to reluctantly send it back.
