Sous Vide Cooking Controller

This controller provides a simple and economic method for cooking the sous vide at home. It can be used to precisely control the temperature of a cooking pot such as rice cooker, slow cooker or table top roaster. The temperature range of the cooking device can be controlled from 5 degree above the ambient to 380 F (190C) with one degree precision and stability.

Operating the temperature controller is easy: plug the cooker to the output socket of the controller on the back, drop the sensor into the pot from top and place the cover,  turn on the controller and cooker,  set the cooking temperature and timer. It will do the rest of job for you. When finished, the timer will display END and turn on the beeper to tell you the food is ready.

Features

• Plug-n-play unit complete with sensor and power cord. Simple to use.

• PID algorithm control with one degree precision and stability.

• Built-in solid state relay for long lasting and noise free power switching.

• 15 Amp power switching capability that meets the maximum allowed amperage for  household power socket

• High sensitivity sensor constructed with material safe for food cooking.

• Thin (0.7 mm or 0.030") and flexible sensor cable that allow the sensor to be placed directly in the pot without affecting the closure of the cooker cover

• Built-in timer that will shut down the cooker and generate a beeping sound when timer end.

• Auto-tune function that can be easily adapted to cookers with unknown thermal response character

• Display temperature in either Fahrenheit or Celsius.

• Thick strong aluminum extrusion chassis that is durable, splash proof, and looks nice on the kitchen counter.

Shipping and Handling is $16 for all US address and $27 for international address.

Notes for customer outside North America,

• For international order, an US power cord is included. User can splice the connector of the cord to a the power strip outlet that meets the local standard for the output.  For the input, the controller has standard IEC 320 C13/14 socket. User can use a computer power cord that meets the local standard to power it. In addition.

• For countries that use 220-240VAC power line, the maximum control power of this controller is 3300 Watts.
