Sous Vide

Sous vide, also called vacuum cooking, is a method by which you can prepare food. With this technique, you can cook a variety of recipes, such as: steak, bavette, salmon or asparagus at a low temperature. In sous vide cooking, the food is vacuum packed in plastic or plastic containers. It is then cooked in a water bath at a low but constant temperature. As a result, the food takes on a special texture and flavor. At Cookinglife you'll find a wide selection of sous vide supplies, from insulating balls to a sous vide stick. Whether you want to cook fish, meat, vegetables, fruits, eggs or soups sous vide, we have all the supplies!

Sous vide stick

If you want to vacuum cook food, a sous vide stick is essential. This is a compact device that has multiple functions. It acts as a thermometer, water pump and heating element. You insert the sous vide stick into the water bath that contains the vacuum-packed food. The stick measures the temperature of the water and heats the water to the desired temperature. The pump provides a continuous supply of water past the heating element and turbulence in the water bath. As a result, the heat spreads evenly.

At Cookinglife you can buy various sous vide sticks. For example, we offer sticks from leading brands, such as: Wartmann, Hendi and Espressions. You also have plenty of choice in terms of wattage. Our sticks are offered in the following wattages:

• 800 watts.
• 1000 Watt.
• 1200 watts.
• 1300 Watt.
• 1500 watts.

Most sous vide sticks are very easy to use. We have variants that you control through an LCD display, such as the Wartmann WM-1508. We also have variants that you control via WiFi using an application, such as the Hendi Sous Vide Stick iVide Plus Junior.

Vacuum-packed cooking can be done with a stick, but also with a sous vide device. For example, we offer devices that allow you to slow cook as well as cook sous vide. It works very simply. You add the vacuum-packed food to the sous vide machine and then set the timer and temperature. From then on, all you have to do is wait until the dish is ready.

It allows you to cook vacuum-packed food to an accuracy of 1°C. It also has a temperature setting from 40 to 90 degrees Celsius and features a keep-warm mode.

Sous vide tray

For sous vide cooking, you need a water bath. You can create this with a pan, but you can also use a sous vide tray. The advantage of a basin over a pan is that the trays are transparent. This allows you to see exactly how your dish is doing. At Cookinglife you will find different sous vide tubs, with or without lids. Many of our sous vide containers are made of high quality polycarbonate. This ensures not only that the container is sturdy, but also that it is dishwasher safe. Among other things, the containers come with a capacity of 12 liters.

Sous vide bags

Finally, we also offer sous vide bags, also called vacuum bags mentioned. We have both reusable and disposable bags. You can also find a vacumizer that allows you to vacuum pack food before cooking it sous vide. We further offer bags that are BPA-free and bags where you can choose the size. Of course, all sous vide bags are food safe and you can prepare dishes with confidence.
