DASH Sous Vide Bath

I received the Dash Chef Sous Vide on Monday, Feb 5, 2018. My first "test" cook was 4 pieces of tough, 1/2" cube steak. I seasoned them with salt/pepper/sage and liquid hickory smoke and placed the pieces split between 2 ziplock bags. I used the insertion/seal method to make the vacuum. I set for 133 degrees for 1-1/2 hours. After the cook, I patted each piece dry and placed them to sear in my skillet at med-hi for 2 minutes per side. The cube steak was so tender that I was able to cut it with my fork!! Today, I set up to cook 2 1" thick boneless pork loin pieces. Seasoned with Mesquite rub, season salt, salt & pepper and applewood liquid smoke. I set it at 140 degrees for 2 hours. After the cook, I patted dry and seared with a culinary torch. Again, success!. The meat was evenly tender and juicy with the marinade run flavor infused throughout the meat. My picky eating daughter took one bite and said: "This is freakin' fabulous!". This unit maintained consistent temperature throughout the cooking cycle and the magnetic agitator provided a quiet circulation of the water for the whole cycle. Setting the temperature and cooking time is quick and easy. Set it and let it go. When it reaches temperature, it beeps to tell you it's time to put in your vacuum seal pouch. When done it beeps when it's done. Set, cook and sear, it's that simple. I've tried several sous vide immersion "sticks" and "water ovens". My experience has been hit or miss with these devices. I would recommend the Dash DSV300XXSS01 Chef Series Digital Sous Vide as an efficient, affordable solution as a complete, easy to use and reliable sous vide system Dash DSV300XXSS01 Chef Series Digital Sous Vide, Stainless

I've had this Sous Vide water bath since mid May and have used it almost daily. This is my first experience using sous vide, and my first ever review. I am in love with this appliance and sous vide in general. I've made potatoes, oodles of veggies, and a LOT of chicken, wings and fish. Everything has been soooo good! Herbs and spices infuse the meat like I've never experienced. My only problem is that I like to cook in quantity and freeze for later. While this unit holds quite a bit, in some instances it's just not quite big enough for my game plan of cooking food ahead. I'm 68, own my own business, and just love knowing that my protein is going to be ready for my husband and myself in the evening. I already had a culinary torch, so I skip the step of getting another pan dirty to sear. We don't eat much red meat, however when I decide to give it a try, I probably will pan sear to produce more flavor. I am so knocked out of the park by this method of cooking that I've now ordered the Dash Immersion sous vide, a Rubbermaid bin and a silicone lid so I can do larger quantities. I also purchased a better vacuum sealer and a chest freezer to hold all my goodies! There is so much information online now to get started and understand the dynamics of sous vide I was up and running in a heart beat. I read one review stating the rim on the unit had started to rust. I found a little place on mine that has also begun to rust. I just make sure I've wiped away as much of the moisture as possible to discourage formation of more. The unit does run about -1 degree cool, so I always set it for 1 degree higher to compensate. I purchased water balls to try to preserve that 1 degree...a waste....just a hassle to get out of the water. I am still learning how to keep my food from floating....today I sealed up a flat bag of coins to use as a weight...worked fine. I've also seen folks seal fishing sinkers, dull kitchen knives...just get creative! I guess if you are reading this you can tell I've in love and having the time of my life! No matter if it's this unit or another sous vide appliance, you've got to try it! BTW, here's the sealer I bought.... Avid Armor Vacuum Sealer System A100 Stainless Construction, Clear View Lid, Commercial Double Piston Pump Heavy Duty 12" Wide Seal Bar Built in Cooling Fan Includes 30 Pre-Cut Bags and Accessory Hose A little pricey, but I've read so much about how the popular home brands last for about 1 year, and I use the heck out of the sealer so wanted heavy duty that will last! My husband has even sealed up some of his rarely used tools to keep them from rusting!

Es buen aparato cumple con las expectativas pero es de poca capacidad

It came with a no British plug

Used it for the first time today and it performed amazingly! I have been cooking sous vide for 20 years. What a joy having a self contained unit as opposed to using stick circulators and plastic bins or pots. Highly recommend!

I wanted this oven style years ago when there were limited options and all were expensive. I settled on a wand style and it served it purposes. But for 1-3 people this little oven is great. Better insulation than a wand on a pot, great turbulance from the magnetic pill. I havent measured against the sensor to confirm the accuracy but this is essentially and inexpensive lab water bath. Its great for cooking and non critical lab use

i use it most days Very good i would recommend it for someone with the space for it.
