Karinear Sous Vide Machine WIFI, Sous Vide Cooker 1100W Cooking Machine with LED Stainless Steel Precision Cooker Immersion Circulator

Absolutely fantastic 🤩

I have always wanted to try cooking using the "sous vide" method, but it always looked laborious to do - and the kit tended to be very expensive. So, when I saw this one for around £50, I though that was good value and worth trying! My first experiment was on a silverside cut of beef - quite a rough cut - and one that had been in the freezer for almost a year. I wasn't expecting much, but the results were amazing. I could program it all via the app, and keep an eye on it, and the beef was evenly cooked right through and soft, tender, and buttery to eat. I have had another couple of plays with it, and will now be doing our Christmas Day beef joint this way. So pleased I have this!

Sous-vide has always felt like a restaurant party trick, yet this Karinear wand has slipped into my kitchen without any fuss. The 1,100-watt stainless-steel stick clips to an ordinary saucepan, then keeps the water anywhere between about 10 °C and 90 °C in tidy 0.3 °C increments, all shown on a clear LED screen. Pairing over 2.4 GHz WiFi took barely a minute, and the phone app lets me tweak the heat or timer from the sofa, very handy when I forget I’m cooking. As for the results, hardly any water evaporates, so chicken stays properly juicy, carrots keep their bright colour, and nothing ends up swimming in oil. The unit is practically silent at roughly 15 dB, a soft hum no louder than a polite fridge even on an overnight run. A fussy low-water cut-off adds peace of mind. It is not flawless. The app’s English is a bit off, and it refuses to talk to 5 GHz routers. Even so, at around fifty quid it delivers accuracy, quiet running, and very tasty food, so it earns a cheerful five stars from me.

This was a gift from my son who has used it several times & is very happy with the results. He especially likes the resealable bags which are reusable and also remove the need for a machine to heat seal the disposable plastic bags supplied with most sous vides

UPDATE: After explaining the problem to the supplier they are sending me a replacement. —————————————— I bought this product on the 28 Jul 2024, it is now Feb 2025. The product worked fine for a while but now has no temperature control as it boiled down to nothing almost 18 litres of water in the sous vide bath overnight making the whole room look like it had been jet washed damaging some paintwork on the walls a ceiling, not to mention ruining £36 worth of meat. The temperature was set to 60°c and it was showing 60°c on the app but the temperature it reached was boiling the water. I have done a test in just water, set the temp to 60°c then left it for a while. I then checked the app which said ‘cooking 60°c’ but when I looked at the display on the device it said 89°c and the water was starting to bubble/boil. The device is clean with no limescale so I can only imagine the thermostat is not working.
