Does what it says it does
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.At half the price off the Inova, I went and got the chefman. It's awesome, made great beef ribs and steaks. Next, I'm about to try brisket.

Great but misleading
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I was going back and forth between this and the Anova brand Sous Vide cooker. I ultimately landed on this as it was half the price of the Anova and "appeared" to have all the same features. It says that this is wifi capable and can be controlled with the app, this is not true. But that is not that big of a deal and I would not have paid the price for the Anova just for that feature. I really wish the spring clamp was removable, there is a screw that holds it on but the way the chord is routed through it, you'd have to break/cut the handle to remove it. This made the customization of my sous vide cooler a little more difficult. I have used it several times over the past month and the food has turned out great!

Simple, powerful and awesome customer service.
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.After using it for a year, I can say: From all of the sous vide circulators offered by BB, this one had the highest wattage from all. So I went for it. Temperature is always stable trough out the cook. Awesome... It was on sale, so I got this thing at a nice price. The unit works flawlessly, powerful circulator and keeps the temperature on +/- 1º, verified with an external thermometer. I have been cooking all my meats/fish/chicken with this thing and cook after cook they all come out perfect. Now my favorite. Chefman customer service is awesome! The handle/clip for my unit cracked, my own bad. Within 2 emails and a couple days I got a brand new unit. Thank you CHEFMAN for great customer support service. Thank you Best Buy for having awesome products

Great quality for the price!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought this during Black Friday sales and got it for a great price. It doesn't have Bluetooth or WiFi connectivity but for its price, it does a great job of cooking. I also bought a much more expensive Bluetooth/WiFi enabled sous-vide machine from Anova and this device from Chefman is as good as Anova in terms of cooking. I wish Chefman update their app and provide better and more accurate recipes and cooking temperature guidelines though (I noticed a few that are outright incorrect). But you can easily find out this info just by Googling, or you can also buy sous-vide cooking guide book.

Amazing Quality!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I've had this sous vide for almost 3 months now and I've used it probably 3-4 times a week! I've always been awful at cooking chicken. I'm deathly afraid of under cooked chicken so I always over cook it and it's always super dry. The first time I made chicken with the sous vide, my world was changed! It has the convenience of a slow cooker but without all of the time wasted. I through chicken in a bag with some ingredients and set the sous vide for 155 degrees for maybe 2 hours then take it out and sear it and it's delicious! I've also made steaks that were phenomenal. I have yet to experiment with vegetables but that's next! I would definitely recommend this sous vide, especially for the price!

really good buy.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I like cooking a lot!! I got the Chefman because 1) the price was excellent 2) it looked like anyone can operate it. The benefit of sous vide is that you don't have to worry about cooking something correctly, no having to deal with feeling whatever you're cooking and wondering if it's done. No worrying about whether that item is still raw inside. I cooked salmon, which I did in a normal freezer bag. It was done in 20 minutes!! This is a new way of flawlessly cooking anything I'd like, and with minimal effort yet perfect results. Can't wait to see how far I can take my recipes!

SOUS VIDE
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.INTERESTING WAY TO COOK. WE’VE PASTURIZED EGGS, COOKED CHICKEN AND HAMBURGERS SO FAR THE FLAVOR HAS BEEN GREAT. NEXT PROJECT IS MAKING YOGURT. THE APPLICANCE IS EASY TO USE AND WORKS AS ADVERTISED. IT IS A LITTLE CUMBERSOME AND NOT SO USER FRIENDLY TO SET, BUT NOTHING MAJOR. GLAD THAT WE DIDN’T SPEND THE EXTRA MONEY ON THE BLUETOOTH VERSION. ONCE YOU SET THE TEMP AND THE TIME IS NO REAL REASON TO MONITOR THE PROCESS.

Terrific steaks
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Picked this up because I heard great things about sous vide steaks and it was the truth. This is a great machine for a novice like me. Easy to use out of the box, flexible clamp that can fit a variety of pots. We’ve mostly used it for making steaks and they always come out perfectly tender.
