This sous-vide cooker immersion circulator and sous vide kit is so convenient as you’ll have everything at your fingertips the minute you open the box.

This SousVide Art Immersion Circulator offers accurate temperature control, a simple and intuitive interface, and attaches to any pot or container with an ergonomic, rubberized grip. This kit is ideal for anyone starting out and makes a thoughtful gift for the budding chef in your life as it comes with 15 sous-vide bags.

Depending on what you’re cooking, pick one or two bags and put in the food, complete with seasonings and marinade, and seal it with a white clip. Then, using the hand pump, suck the air out of the bag through the round valve. Once that is done you place the sous-vide circulator into a pot with water and set the temperature needed according to the recipe. Once the water reaches the desired temperature, put the bags in and then let the circulator do its job of maintaining the bath at precisely controlled low temperatures so your food will be cooked evenly from edge to edge. And to take the guesswork out of it all, a timer will sound when the food is ready.
