SousVideTools iVide Chamber Vacuum Sealer

Description

The Sous Vide Tools divide Chamber Vacuum Sealer Machine is capable of vacuum sealing and packaging just about anything, including liquid-rich food ingredients – something which other standard vacuum sealers simply can’t do. Most vacuum sealers operate using suction, sucking the air from a vacuum bag which is then sealed. The problem with this method is that liquids can also be sucked from the bag, resulting in a messy film of oil or liquid along the sealed edge which can even leave an imperfect or incomplete seal. The Sous Vide Tools divide Chamber Vacuum Sealer works differently. Not only does it achieve a higher level of vacuum than standard machines, but once the vacuum bag is inside the chamber with the lid closed, air is removed from the entire chamber and not just the bag. This means the air pressure stays the same both inside and outside the bag, and liquids are not drawn out. Once the bag is sealed, normal air pressure is returned to the chamber leaving a perfectly sealed vacuum inside the bag. As an added bonus these machine also has a function for marinating foods. It will pull vacuum for 99 seconds without going into the sealing function. This is ideal for pickling cucumber in some vinaigrette in a bowl. As the machine goes through the vacuum process it will pull the vinaigrette into the cucumber to create the pickled taste. Much better than leaving in a jar. The vacuum packer has a smart low profile design, featuring a cleverly hinged lid which folds neatly back to minimise space requirements, and a clear and simple touch display for ease of operation. The transparent tempered glass lid allows better product visibility during packing. Review: Sottovuoto a campana - Consegna avvenuta correttamente e in anticipo rispetto ai tempi concordati,la macchina sembra lavori molto bene,la uso da pochi giorni e finora ho ottenuto ciò che speravo, abbastanza capiente e neanche tanto rumorosa rispetto ad altre macchine che conosco, per uso casalingo è perfetta ,sono soddisfatta e la consiglio vivamente.... Review: Excellent machine, not a pro tool - This is a really good machine for the home chef. How does it compare with anything you may have used in a pro kitchen? - Tech specs are few and far between for vacuum machines so it is very hard to compare before you buy... 1) It works well I have been able to seal solids and liquids in both normal (cheap) bags and the old super thick rolls of my previous basic vac machine (the kind that doesn't handle liquids). I have yet to try the marinating function. 2) It works slowly On a pro machine you would expect 20 seconds for fragile items and 30 seconds for full vac. This is 50 and 90 seconds respectively. Make sure you have something else to do if doing a batch! 3) It seals but doesn't cut The bags are sealed but not cut to size like in pro machines. I will experiment with longer sealing durations to see if if this does the trick. Standard sealing time is 5 seconds. You can also seal from a roll but, bizarrely, the machine goes in Vac mode for about 15 seconds before sealing. In this respect it is slower/less accurate than my old machine. 4) Handling bags can be a bit fiddly Because of the lower suction power compared to a pro machine, it needs to ensure that the bag is slightly open to extract all the air. To do this you have to place it in a specific way on the sealing bar which can be a bit fiddly. Not a big deal but bear in mind. In conclusion: you get what you pay for and this is very good value for money. It accommodates large bag sizes, comes with a spare sealing gasket and a spare sealing bar, and is the first proper home vac machine. It just requires a bit more patience that your pro machine.
