Sansaire sous vide circulator

Neil777 · 24 May 2014 at 20:20

I decided to use it anyway as everything else is working, I was using a thermometer and playing about with the dial when the display came to life. I've since left the machine off for a while then switched in on again and it's still working.

I'll see what they say when they get back to me.

I'm being sent a replacement for my faulty unit

The faulty unit has no display but the circulator works and afaik the heating element does too

And ideas? I was thinking maybe using a decent thermometer with it and using it for veg or long cooks

So they don't want it sending back then, in that case I'd do like you say.

By the way mine was still working the few times I switched it on to check and when I did steak on Sunday.

Nope , the logistics for them is too complex at the mo so not worth the hassle for them

I have 2 anovas on order too lol

I need to find somewhere for all thus stuff

Perhaps I shouldn't have told them mine started working again, will have to see how it goes.

Just done my first long cook

Did a silverside joint at 53c for 24 hrs

Verdict: excellent

The meat was very tender and really flavoursome , at 53c I was worried it would be really pink (this would have put off my dad who was going to be eating it with me) but although it was pink it didn't look undercooked or 'bloody' and he was happy to eat it.

After cooking the joint I quickly seared it to give a nice dark crust all over and used the huge amount of stock produced to make some gravy, which was also very nice.

I will definitely be repeating this

Nice

I've cooked top rump in a similar manner before and it has usually turned out great. My mistake sometimes in the past hasn't been letting it sit in the sous-vide for long enough - bit of a rookie mistake but one I don't really make any more.

Bumping this as I'm looking at either the Sansaire or Anova - is there any preference for UK users here?

The Sainsaire is shipping from the UK at the moment and works out about £150 incl all fees and taxes.

A few of us that backed the Anova should be receiving our units relatively soon. Could be worth waiting for some reviews?

Ah ok, I thought people already had them over here. No rush, will be my xmas pressie from the Mrs I think

Got a Sansaire today. So disappointed. The one I got seems to have been repackaged. There's dents and scratches all over. Really annoying given the price. Call me picky, but I've asked for a new one.

It also came with a european plug rather than UK plug?

That's strange, last week the led display on mine packed in, they sent me a new unit but didn't ask for the old one returning.
