The ability to cook with precision is probably the main thing that sets sous vide cooking apart from all other methods. Being able to cook at the precise temperature necessary and ensuring that all parts of the food are cooked at this temperate is what produces cooking results that are simply not possible with any other method of cooking. Sous vide machines are often able to cook very close to the desired temperature, but not all machines are able to get the exact precision with a temperature that some may need.

What Is a Sous Vide Machine?
Have you ever wondered how many top restaurants are able to cook outstanding dishes with unrivaled taste so consistently? Many people have often wondered this, marveling at the ability of the chefs to deliver such great meals each and every time. The secret of their success has been what is known as a sous vide machine. These machines ("Sous Vide" is "under vacuum" in French, pronounced like "Sue-Veed") have been a staple in many high end restaurants for years, and have been tried and true workhorses for many of the highest rated restaurants.
What was once only available in high end restaurants, however, has recently become a fixture in many homes. Sous vide machines are renowned for cooking ingredients evenly and thoroughly, delivering a taste and aromatic experience that is simply not possible through other means of cooking. They work by placing the heating and circulation element under water in a pot, the top sticking out, placing food sealed in a plastic bag in the water, and then programming the machine to cook at the exact desired temperature. The machine will then heat and circulate the water in the pot, ensuring that the entirety of the ingredients is cooked at the exact same temperature. This means no more half-cooked, half-burned food, and the results of the cooking are unlike any experience through other cooking methods.

What Features to Compare
Anyone new to the sous vide way of cooking will not know exactly what to look for when trying to find the perfect machine. There are a number of different characteristics that are going to be important to know before buying one. Most sous vide machines look and operate in a similar manner, but not all of them share the same characteristics. Many of them will vary on their abilities, their size, and how they are controlled, as well as many other important aspects. Below are some of the most important factors to consider when trying to find a great sous vide machine for your kitchen.
Power
The total power of a sous vide machine will often directly correlate to the maximum cooking temperature. This is a very important consideration, as many dishes may require cooking at a temperate higher than some Sous Vide machines are capable of producing. If you want to cook dishes that require a high cooking temperature, then getting a high powered sous vide machine is a must.
Cooking Temperature Range
As stated above, the power of the machine will often dictate the highest temperature at which it operates. However, not all dishes require cooking at high temperatures, with many having the best results produced at a lower temperature. Buying a sous vide machine with a great cooking temperature range will ensure that you are able to cook the highest number of meals possible.
Controls
Most these machines look alike, but many of them operate in different manners. Many of them will have a display and controls on the end of the handle that allows you to adjust the settings of the machine, such as the cooking temperature and time. However, many recent models also include mobile apps that allow you to program the machine from your smartphone or tablet, which gives you a very simple and easy way of doing so without having to deal with small buttons and a difficult to understand interface on the machine. With a sous vide machine, the method of control will often dictate the ease with which it is to operate.
Safety Features
Sous vide machines are usually cylindrical in nature and operate by putting one end into the water while attached to the side of the pot. Due to this open operating nature, some safety features are important both for the safety of your food and yourself. Such safety features generally consist of auto-shutoff features after a certain period of time, an adjustable clamp that is easy for using even while the machine is working, and a safety grip handle that lets you adjust the machine without burning your hand.
Clamp
One of the most important, but often overlooked, features of a sous vide machine is the side clamp which is used to hold it steady on the side of the cooking pot. The size and shape of this clamp is important, as well as the ability to adjust it. Since a sous video machine works by clamping it to the side of the pot, it is vitally important to have a machine with a clamp that will work well with your existing pots. After all, a sous vide machine that won't fit on your pot easily is not going to be of much use.
Did you know?
How Sous Vide Works
Sous vide cooking works so well, some people may think it is magic. Being able to get the best possible flavor from cooked foods while ensuring that all parts of the food are evenly cooked seems impossible to some experienced cooks. However, there is nothing magical about sous vide cooking. It all comes down to some very simple facts mixed in with common sense. If you are new to sous vide cooking, then it would probably be helpful to know exactly how it works in order to get the best possible results from your new sous vide machine.
There is a very simple premise that guides sous vide cooking: ensure that all parts of the food are cooked evenly at the exact same temperature. While other cooking methods such as baking or broiling tend to get close, it is simply impossible to ensure that all parts of food are getting cooked at the same temperature at these methods, which can result in undercooked or overcooked portions of the food, or worse. Sous vide, however, accomplishes this by using water to completely surround the food being cooked, and then ensuring that the water is heated at the exact same temperature.
Food that is cooked by a sous vide machine is placed inside of a sealed plastic bag to ensure that water is not seeped into the food, while also trapping the food's natural juices inside of it. While a vacuum sealed bag often works best, you can still get great results from just using a regular Ziplocked plastic bag. The food is then placed in the water, and the sous vide machine is set to the desired temperature. The sous vide machine then heats the water while using its built-in circulator to constantly circulate the water through the pot. A temperature regulator is also included to constantly measure the temperature of the water that is circulated to make sure it is at the desired temperature. This results in food always being cooked at the same temperature throughout all parts of it.
How to Get Best Results
With your new sous vide machine, you are probably wondering how to get the best results possible from it. Thankfully, getting great results through sous vide cooking is actually quite easy, and takes very little work. Regardless, there are a few things to keep in mind while cooking with your sous vide machine that will ensure the best possible results for your cooking.
- Make sure you are cooking your food at the exact temperature needed for that particular kind of food. Since Sous Vide machines are able to regulate the exact temperature throughout the cooking process, make sure that the temperature you are using is appropriate for the food you are cooking. Many Sous Vide recipes will tell you the exact temperature required for certain types of food, so it is best to check that before you start cooking.
- Seal the food with as little air inside of the bag as possible. The best way to do this, of course, is through vacuum sealing. However, vacuum sealing may not be practical for all purposes or for all people. When using a ziplock bag, place the food inside of the bag, seal it partially, and then push out as much air as possible before you seal it completely. The more that the bag hugs the food contained inside of it, the better that food will be cooked.
- Use bags specifically for sous vide cooking. While many other plastic bags will often work well for most people, some people have complained about certain types of food having a "plastic" taste to it after being cooked. Many bags made specifically for sous vide cooking are made of silicone instead of plastic, which reduces the chance of an artificial taste being transferred into the food.
Following these few simple steps should result in cooked food that tastes unlike anything else you have ever cooked before!
