The Space Neovide Sous Vide Cooker, The Space NSV100 - Waterless, Bagless, with Built-in Probe, Preserved flavor, Shape and Texture

cooks a mean steak, and has even turned a rump steak into a fillet in all but name. ive been using normal sous vide for some time but i can say this is a step up. you can also use this as a waterbath should you wish although ive not tried. i have found its reluctant to take temp up to desired level for quite some time, so if you want a 60c steak then i set it at about 63c and just stop when it reaches 60. also when it does reach desired temp, it de vacuums and holds temp; not sure why it removes the vacuum tbh; maybe something for them to change along with the temp thing. but after saying that i am, even at price, very, very pleased overall. the marinade works as does the searing. just dry off steak and add a toch of oil .. it heats quite fast and goes up high enough to sear well enough for me. that does add a couple of degrees to steak centre so be ware if you want a finished one at say 58, then aim for 56/7 while cooking.

Got one for our anniversary- absolutely brilliant. Amazingly fast and boy o boy- the flavour of perfectly cooked steaks, fish and just about to do duck.

Works well for sous vide but could do with more heating power for searing. Cleanup is not difficult but does need to be done carefully to prevent smells developing.

Expensive but a very useful machine. Very easy to use, much easier than normal sous vide as there’s neither bag nor water to mess with. I have a charcoal oven so batch cook BBQ & freeze. When needed, I just pop a chunk of meat into the Neovide, thawed or frozen, and with its in-built probe set to required temp we have BBQ whenever we want. I dropped a star because it’s so expensive, it’s a tad noisy but it’s still a 4-star product all day long.
