Common Questions About Sous Vide Circulators
What is sous vide?
Sous vide is a cooking method where you seal food in a bag in a pot of water. The INKBIRD machine controls the water temperature precisely, so your food will never overcook. It's basically the easiest way for us to get restaurant-quality results - like a steak or a chicken breast that's tender and juicy from edge to edge - every single time. Want to learn more?

What are advantages of sous vide cooking?
Sous vide cooking has many advantages:
1. Accuracy. Sous vide cooker can achieve accurate cooking temperatures, which results in perfectly cooked food every time
2. Consistency. Since the food is cooked at a controlled temperature, you can replicate the same results multiple times.
3. Richer flavor. Vacuum sealing preserves the natural juices and flavors of the food, while longer cooking time lets spices and seasonings soak in.
4. Tender texture. Sous vide cooking tenderizes proteins perfectly without the risk of overcooking, so you can avoid dry or tough texture.
5. Convenience. Once you've set the temperature and submerged the food, you can engage in other tasks, making it perfect for busy schedules.
Can I use a regular pot for sous vide cooking?
Yes, you can use any large pot that can withstand high temperatures and is deep enough to keep the food fully submerged.
How to clean sous vide machine after usage?
Unplug the device and let it cool down completely. Use a damp cloth with white vinegar, citric acid, or dishwashing liquid to wipe down any spills or splatters on the stainless steel parts. Alternatively, add dishwashing liquid to the water and let the machine run normally, which allows the water circulation to self-clean. After everything is clean and dry, store your INKBIRD sous vide cooker in a cool, dry place until its next use.
Is preheating necessary for sous vide? How long does it take?
Preheating is not strictly necessary, but it helps achieve even cooking. The time required to preheat the water depends on the volume of water and the desired temperature. INKBRID devices are designed to heat water relatively quickly, usually in about 20-30 minutes for a standard home cooking amount.
Is it noisy when operating?
No, all INKBIRD Sous Vide Machines are designed to be quiet, running at under 20 decibels.
