An appliance for your Masterchef kitchen

Posted on by

sousvide_kit_1

Sous Vide is something you hear on most fancy cookery shows. It’s the technique of cooking food that’s been vacuum sealed by immersing it in a water bath at a very precise and consistent temperature. Usually sous vide machines are highly industrial and reserved only for high-end restaurants. The Electrolux Athmos changes that. Keeping the principle the same, but giving the appliance a radical makeover, the Athmos is much more in lines with domestic kitchen appliances. Made primarily of plastic, the sous vide machine comes as a kit with everything you need, including the hand-held vacuum for preparing the sous vide bags. The cooking chamber is translucent, allowing you to see your food being cooked inside, and a pretty basic UI ensures you won’t fumble with the device. In fact, it even comes with a Recipe app that tells you how to prepare your favorite food using the Athmos sous vide machine!

Nomiku’s immersion circulator makes low temperature cooking available to the masses, we go hands-on

Nomiku's immersion circulator makes sous vide cooking available to the masses, we go handson

If you've ever spent time watching Iron Chef or other cooking shows, odds are you've heard of the term sous-vide and know the wonders of cooking with immersion circulators. For those not in the know, an immersion circulator cooks food in a water bath at a precise (to the degree) temperature to ensure perfect doneness of dishes. Nomiku's an immersion circulator that clips onto any pot of water, giving home cooks the ability to sous vide to their heart's content at temperatures up to 100 degrees Celsius. The device is a machined aluminum tube and heat sink, with a 1.3-inch touchscreen OLED display on top surrounded by a plastic knob. Inside is an impeller and 750W PTC heating element that circulates water at up to 10 liters per minute and heat it to within .2 degrees Celsius of the temperature you choose. Just tap the touchscreen to turn it on, stick it in a pot with up to 5 gallons of water, turn the knob to set your temperature, tap the screen again to get it going and, presto, you (or your sous chef bot) will be cooking succulent meats like Bobby Flay in no time.

Gallery: Nomiku immersion circulator hands-on

For now, Nomiku exists only in prototype form, but the folks behind it have launched a Kickstarter page to get the funding needed to ramp up production. We got to see the prototype in person, and as a casual dabbler in the culinary arts, the appeal was easy for us to see. It's dead simple to use, and is about the same size as a hand blender, so most folks won't have a problem finding a place for it in their kitchen. In speaking with its creators, we discovered that they created Nomiku to make low temperature cooking easy and (relatively) affordable. You see, existing immersion circulators cost between $500-$2000, which puts them out of reach for most home cooks, but Nomiku (should the project get funded) will retail for $299. Itchin' to get one in your kitchen? Well, head on down to the source link to help make it happen, and feel free to peruse our gallery of photos while you wait for its arrival.
