Reviews Grant Instruments and Sammic.
Since yesterday it’s like Christmas. As I was saying in my previous post, I was expecting a couple of machines from Grant Instruments and they finally arrived. I received a SVP12 and the SV100, respectively a 12 litre water bath and a very nice immersion circulator. That was yesterday, today arrived the SV310 by Sammic, international purveyor of professional kitchen equipment. The SV310 is a professional chamber vacuum sealer and it’s gorgeous.Depuis hier c’est Noël. Comme je le disais dans mon message précédent, j’attendais deux machines de chez Grant Instruments et elles sont finalement arrivées. J’ai reçu le SVP12 et le SV100, respectivement un bain marie thermostaté de 12 litres et un très beau thermoplongeur. Ça c’était hier. Aujourd’hui est arrivé le SV310 de Sammic, Constructeur et distributeur international d’équipements de cuisine professionnel. Le SV310 et une sous-videuse a cloche pro.
I’m not going to say more for the moment, I’m going to be testing these machine for a couple of weeks and will write complete separate reviews of each of these equipments. In the meantime I will post some of the recipes I cooked using the various machines.Je ne vais pas en dire plus pour le moment. Je vais tester ces différentes machines pendant les deux prochaines semaines et écrire une revue détaillée de chacune d’entre elles. Dans l’intervalle je posterais les recettes que je vais cuisiner avec ce fantastique équipement.
I can’t wait to get stuck in.Je suis très impatient de commencer.

Dan,
I received a mail from Addelice informing the swid is available again and I could purchase it offline. It seems the demand for the swid exceeds Addelice production capacity. I have contacted them one month ago and they have put me on a waiting list.
Hi does anyone know what has happend to the Swid they have been out of stock for ages on the addelice website and I don’t get any reply to emails about when it is back in. Does anyone know if they are still trading as I realy need one as it gets good reviews and the price seems good?

Were can u buy professional grade tool and which is the most low cost
Kevin
Just check on the website of the various brands (Grant Sous Vide, Clifton food range etc..) they usually have all the necessary information ie: distributors and prices.
Sous vide magic is the most affordable option though.

Thank you are new sous vides Supreme good value
Kevin
It’s ok. £499 for the SousVide Supreme. It’s a good machine. I didn’t have major issues with it when I tested it. The control of temperature is maybe a bit less precise than professional grade tools.

Were can u buy for £300
I don’t know of any waterbath of immersion circulator at £300. The lowest price when bought new is around 450. I would say, check on Ebay if you can find used model, but make sure that it’s food grade and wasn’t used to test Ebola or something in a lab. Or you can turn to sous vide magic. SousVideMagic FMM1500 18L Sous Vide kit cost $299.50. I haven’t tested it yet, so I can’t speak for them. I can only speak of what I know.

Were can u buy cheap sous vide water bath in the uk
Depend on what cheap is? The cheapest waterbath are ranging from £400 to £600.
You can still EBay, but I for one would buy this kind of equipments from reputable sources and only food grade appliances.
As you may or may not know, waterbaths and immersion circulators were first used in laboratories and second hand units might have been used in this environment which even cleaned up makes it potentially harmful. I will steer clear of those myself, but that’s a personal decision. The other choice you have for a cheaper endeavour in the sous vide world would be the use of a rice cooker with a PID controller, you’ll be able to get a complete system for
around £200. Myself I like me a good old immersion circulator or a proper waterbath.
Sous vide cooking is a very committed way of cooking and when you start getting serious with it, you realise that good dedicated equipment is the only way to go. Also do not forget that some recipes demand for the food to be cooked for 72hours. Unless you want to stay at home for three days, because you’re afraid of your house burning down because of a faulty equipment, you want to go with a machine you can trust and this is the kind of peace of mind that proper sous vide equipment provides.
Cheers.
Nicolas

Looking forward to the reviews! Would it be possible to write up a comparison between the Grant SV100 and the Addélice SWID? That would be very helpful to many people considering the purchase of an immersion circulator, especially if they are similarly priced.
