It seems good because it doesn't overlap like a hot plate. Here are 4 perfect options for a wedding gift: [Low-Temperature Cooking Devices].

I Want a Sous Vide Machine!

Do you use a sous vide machine in your daily cooking?

Sous vide, the fourth cooking method after grilling, steaming, and boiling.

When you set it up in a pot and start it, it maintains a water temperature of around 50 to 70 degrees Celsius, allowing for slow cooking at a low temperature without losing the flavor and nutrients of the ingredients.

It’s a staple for tender meat recipes such as roast beef, braised pork, and chicken breast, but it can also be used to deliciously make pot-au-feu, steamed vegetables, fish dishes, and egg recipes.

Since it can be left to cook unattended and expands your cooking options, having one in the household would be very convenient.

Its sleek form, resembling a hair straightener or a blender, makes it easy to store compared to electric pressure cookers and the like.

The price ranges from just over 10,000 yen to around 20,000 yen, making it a perfect gift for weddings.

(Unlike a certain popular hot plate, it’s not a common item that people would have, so it would be a nice surprise to receive!)

Here are some recommended sous vide machines I found during my research.

① BRUNO Sous Vide Machine

The BRUNO sous vide machine, famous for its hot plates, is priced at 11,000 yen.

It comes in two stylish colors: light green and greige, making it easy to gift.

The clip-on design makes it easy to attach, and the digital touch panel is quite cute.

The temperature can be set in 1-degree increments from "5 to 95 degrees."

The time can be set in one-minute increments from "1 minute to 99 hours and 59 minutes," allowing for fine adjustments.

It is often thought of as a high-barrier kitchen appliance, but many people use it for making onsen tamago (hot spring eggs).

This post is from a BRUNO staff member, who has also made chawanmushi (steamed egg custard) and yogurt.

With just a regular pot and a sous vide machine, you can create those special recipes, which is amazing.

"Once you grasp the tips for temperature settings, it seems like it can be used much more frequently in daily life."

② Hismile Sous Vide Machine

The Hismile sous vide machine, from a domestic brand, is priced at 16,800 yen.

It features a black and silver design that is easy to hand off to men, with a high-power design of 1100W.

With its high output power, you can cook a larger quantity at once, leading to time savings. (Generally, most are 850W to 1100W!)

The silver part that goes in the water has a removable stainless cover, which can be easily rinsed under running water.

It’s a hassle to take apart every time to wash with detergent, but this design makes daily use seem feasible!

It would also likely be appreciated by men who are into weight training and fitness.

③ BONIQ Sous Vide Machine

The BONIQ sous vide machine is also well-known, priced at 22,000 yen.

Isn’t this sleek form incredibly stylish? It’s the kind of thing you’d want to show off rather than hide away.

Available in pure white and jet black, it should blend well with other appliances and decor.

It can connect to Wi-Fi, allowing you to operate it from outside the home.

Sous vide is easy because you can leave it to cook, but it requires time to heat slowly, so starting it while you’re on your way home and eating freshly cooked warm food as soon as you arrive is fantastic.

By the way,

Starting in April 2023, the BONIQ Pro 2, a professional sous vide machine with a super high-power output of 1200W, will be available.

You can enjoy restaurant-quality sous vide recipes at home.

It’s recommended for big families or those who love home parties.

The price is 33,000 yen.

④ Emperor Tamarin Sous Vide Machine

I also discovered a sous vide machine featuring a monkey motif with a distinguished moustache called Emperor Tamarin, priced at 13,980 yen.

Among many clip-on sous vide machines, this one stands upright in the center of the pot because it’s a stand-style design.

(It has a clip so it won't fall over.)

It boasts 1200W of high power and has a sensor that detects the water level to automatically stop, providing peace of mind even when you’re not present.

Maintenance is easy as it just requires a quick wipe.

If you can create delicious dishes like these, reminiscent of a French chef, wouldn’t your life become more enriched?

I Want a Sous Vide Machine!

If I were asked what kitchen appliance or cooking equipment I want right now, I would definitely say I want a sous vide machine! My interest in sous vide is skyrocketing.

But really, a sous vide machine is so convenient.

It seems that the variety of home cooking, which has been somewhat monotonous, could significantly expand, and since it leads to time savings and better cost performance, I believe if I can master it, cooking will definitely become much more enjoyable...

I want one for myself and also want to give it as a wedding gift to a friend! ✨
