6) Is it difficult to learn how to operate the machine? Is there a recipe?
The control panel uses touch-sensitive keys, clear setting keys and function keys, and is matched with a clear and bright display LED, which can be easily manipulated by users. As long as the commonly used cooking method (temperature and time are pre-stored), slow cooking can be started by pressing the button several times. It's not as troublesome to find a container and a lid to install as the bar stirring type.
In fact, sous vide cooking can be said to pre-cook food, and it can also pickle at the same time so that the subsequent processing and coloring can be completed in a short time. Vacuum packaging is the icing on the cake, which can make food heated evenly on all sides, preserving food nutrition at low temperature, and reducing the loss of raw materials by vacuum state. Imagine that 200 grams of uncooked steak turn to about 190 grams after vacuum packaging and sous vide cooking. If fried directly in a mainstream way, it may only be about 150 grams after frying.
In other words, people who can cook don't need recipes. According to the original practice of dealing with materials and seasoning, with the sous vide method by flexible use of pre-cooking, your cooking technique will climb one story higher.
In fact, recipes can be found everywhere. Simply searching on the Internet: there are many free recipes for sous vide cooking. We also have professional recipes for sous vide cooking on our website.

7) Does it consume a lot of electricity when you cook slowly for a long time?
Considering the power consumption, the box-type sous vide cooker saves much more electricity than other kinds. For example, the total operating power of the 28-liter model in steady-state is only about 1000watt. Moreover, the main power consumption is in the preheating stage. When reaching constant temperature, most of the time, there is no power consumption in the heat preservation state, but only in the heating and ultrasonic starting. Plus a tight cover can prevent heat loss or steam emission from lowering the water level.
