Sous Vide Immersion Circulator - Imersa Pro

This is easy to use, but it's probably the best for someone just trying out sous vide cooking. A small stick type heater would probably be a better choice. (As an aside, sous vide literally means under vacuum, and the first step doing sous vide successfully is learning to vacuum seal what you are cooking so that there is no air insulating the food and no water will leak in.)This is a high volume, large capacity sous vide heater. It's nice, and works well, but it's also large and fairly loud and way more than most people would ever need. I have a fairly large container I use for sous vide (18 quart Lipavi), but it still only holds a little over half of the capacity that this machine can handle.My only negative comment is that the maximum water level is fairly low compared to the top of the machine. If the water is above that line, it will not start. As you can see in the picture, I had to prop this cooker up on a few wooden spoons on the edge of the container to raise it so I could get the water level high enough.The first time I used it, I cooked a couple corned beef briskets for 48 hours. I checked the water temperature at various intervals, and it was always within 1 degree of the target temperature. It ran well the entire time with no issues. As I mentioned above, it is fairly loud compare to smaller sous vide heaters, and it sticks out the side of the container a fair ways.I would highly recommend this for anyone who not only does a fair bit of sous vide cooking, but who also wants to cook a large volume at one time. For beginners, there are easier and cheaper alternatives.

We have a smaller unit that does a nice job but this commercial sized unit really is wonderful. Can be used in about twice as much water which in turn you can add more food to be cooked. We can do huge beef roasts and have even done a 14lb turkey just to see how it would go. Could not have gone better and both options have turned out better then conventional cooking. Settings are very easy to use and understand. The directions are pleasantly detailed and useful. Very highly recommend!

This is a very powerful sous vide circulator. It is Vesta Precision's entry level commercial sous vide circulator.The control screen is very easy to see and use. The buttons are clearly labeled and intuitive. I like that you can see the set temp and actual temp at the same time. When you set it up, it will heat the water and then beep to let you know to add your food. Then you press the start button again and the timer will start.The circulator maintains temperature to the 0.1F, so it is very accurate. I double checked the water temp using two other thermometers and found the temperature to be accurate (at least to my thermometers).This circulator has a pretty powerful water flow, so you will need to be careful if using this in a smaller container. The heat dispersion fan is in the bottom of the control panel, outside the tank, which is very nice in my opinion. The noise from the fan is a little louder than my smaller sous vide circulator.The only issue I have had with this circulator is getting the app connected to it. This circulator has wifi and can be controlled using the Vesta app. I tried several times and it would not connect. I will keep trying and maybe I'll figure out why it won't connect .I cooked an 11 pound standing rib roast in an 18 liter tank of water (6 hours at 137F) and it handled this with no problem. No problem at all. As you can see from the pictures, it came out a picture perfect medium-rare, very tender, and made for a memorable Christmas dinner.With or without app control, this is a great sous vide circulator and I plan to use it for many years.

I'm a newbie to sous vide cooking. The Vesta made it easy to get started using a large soup pot I already had since I didn't want to invest in nother container until I was sure how much I'd use it. The device is easy to set up and was accurate. My only wish is that the instructions were better. It took me a while to figure out that 1-the clock shows/counts down time in hh:mm format (not mm:ss) and 2-you have to press the start/pause button after the three beeps (that mean the water is at the right temperature) to get the clock to start counting down. It's not obvious since it's counting down in minutes so you have to wait a minute after pressing the start/pause to see that it's actually counting down. If you get impatient like me and press the button again, it stops everything. So one press to start it heating, a second press (after 3 beeps) to start the countdown timer, a third press to stop everything.So far chicken and pork recipes have come out well but I still feel like we're getting the hang of spices, timing, browning after the sous vide part, etc. That's not fault of the Vesta.My guess is that experienced sous vide cooks will be very happy with this unit. Beginners might want to try something less expensive to start -- again, that's not a knock on the unit but rather a question of whether a beginner will stick with it to get all the value out of the unit.

I am new to sous vide cooking. I never knew about this until about two months ago and have been doing research since then. I've amassed a small library of recipes and have been eager to try them out with this amazing cooker.If you are not aware, sous vide is a slow cooking in a water bath method. It allows you to cook at lower temperatures over a longer period to preserve flavors and juiciness that is otherwise lost in traditional cooking methods. For eggs, vegetables, chicken and fish, this method will produce flavors and textures you have not experienced. You can do steak too, but you will still be searing at the end to give you that caramelized outer texture and color. The rare or medium rare cook will be like nothing you've ever seen before.This unit is really terrific in the volume of water it can handle. It will heat and circulate just under eight gallons of water. You can pack a lot of food in an eight-gallon container making this ideal for a full meal. Another great quality of sous vide is the ability to precook things in advance for use in the next two to five days. With this unit, you can cook a week's worth of food in advance for easy warm-up serving.This is Bluetooth enabled and links together with the Vesta app. You can control this unit through the app and send recipe time/temp settings directly to the cooker. The halibut recipe looked particularly good, look forward to trying that one.This is beyond simple to operate, power on, select the desired temperature/time and hit the play button. Once the water bath hits temperature you are ready to add your food. For the photos I did a simple poached egg recipe. The cooker brought the temperature up to 167F in about five minutes and I was ready to drop the eggs. I was a little concerned while cooking that it would not maintain that and always seemed to drop to 166.3 to 166.7. Because of this I let me eggs stay in for about a minute more than the recipe called for. My bad, my yolks were firmer than I wanted, should've trusted the unit and the recipe instructions.This unit moves a serious amount of water and the stock pot I was using jostled my eggs around so much that it cracked one in the pot. Still a usable egg, but I had to clean out the cooker due to the egg leak. You should use this in a larger sous vide container to reduce the turbulence. If you are a fan of poached eggs, this produces the silkiest textured yolk you've ever had. I will never go back to dropping an egg in a boiling pan of water now.This is an incredible cooker, but I have no point of reference to compare this with. I know there are other units available for much less than the $299.00 as tested price tag. Those units stand upright in the steam though which makes it difficult to operate the controls if you need to change anything mid-cook. That this unit clamps to the outside of your container just makes more sense to me. Those other models will not heat the volume of water that this unit does either. Despite my lack of previous experience, I have to say that I think this is a good value considering the design and capacity of this unit.

This thing is great. I have used in a food truck and have cooked hundreds of lbs of tri-tip over the past couple of years.The ONLY negative thing about it, and it is due to the form factor, is that you have to keep a high water level in whatever vessel you are using. Is usually use an ice chest and as I pull out meat to serve the water level drops. So I have to switch to another style immersion cookers (traditional cylinder type) hanging from a lanyard to drop it lower.The controls are simple. They used synaptic LEDs instead of LCd screens which are cheaper, but easier to see from a distance and angle. The timer (I am biased and hate shut off timers) is optional. It remembers your settings after a power cycle.One of my favorite things is the little spinning symbol so you know it is on.

We love using this for the holidays! We have a lot of people over for brunch and it’s great doing a lot of eggs at once!

Great product, does everything as advertised:) Very well packaged also:) Was my first time ever using one of these coolers and I can actually say that it was fairly simple and the outcome of the meal was fantastic, so much flavor in the meat:)

You can also hook this up to wifi. Exactly as described. Very good product for the price. Take this anywhere.... but you need electric and a pot. Thank you. Overall happy and satisfied.

I am fairly new to Sous Vide but using this really makes it simple to cook Sous Vide style for a large crowd. The water capacity ability on this one really sets it apart from the competitors, especially when price is considered.

I absolutely love this Sous Vide Precision Cooker from Vesta Precision! The Imersa Pro offers a powerful pump design that ensures accurate and stable temperature control. With the Wi-Fi app control and touch panel, I can monitor and adjust the temperature and cooking time from anywhere. The 30L capacity and 1200 Watts of power make it a great choice for large households and even commercial use. The easy-to-clean stainless steel design is an added bonus. I've been able to make delicious and evenly cooked meals without any effort. I highly recommend the Sous Vide Precision Cooker by Vesta Precision - Imersa Pro! It's a great investment for any kitchen.

This is a very large sous vide. I love how quickly I can make anything and it taste good! Love this sous vide and highly recommend it.

I am currently in the process of reusing this I will update on how it goes.. I had to look up a YouTube video.From what I see you need to have in a bag and it boils your meat idk we are going to give it go and see how it works and most importantly how this meat shall taste once it is done.

So far I’ve made salmon using the sous vide technique and it was delish. I will try other recipes. Seasoning is important but a little goes a long way.

I had never used a cooker like this before so this was a new experience for me. I'm very excited about how the results came out. I never thought you could cook meat this way and it was very tender and juicy and had more flavor than I could've ever imagined. If you've never tried a device like this I'm very satisfied with this one and I think you should give it a try.

This Sous Vide Cooker is a beast! I’ve had several over the years but not like this one! You can do some serious cooking with this. It’s really simple to use and the temperature control works great. The app works surprisingly well, very polished app. If you wanted to make dinner with this you totally could! I’m very impressed with this unit. A+

Owned one for a few years now - loved it so much I bought it for a few of my restaurants. Easy to use, works great, amazing customer service.
