Win an Instanta SV25 sous vide machine worth over £1,000

Although it has only really started to attract attention in the last three or four years, sous vide cooking has actually been around since the mid-1970s. Today, its popularity continues to grow as chefs look for new ways to stretch the boundaries in the kitchen and perfect their menus.

Sous vide differs from conventional cooking methods in two fundamental ways. First, the raw food is vacuum-sealed in plastic pouches and second, it is cooked in a water bath using precisely controlled heating.

Since sous vide is essentially a very controlled and precise poach, most food cooked this way has the appearance of being poached, so foods like fish, shellfish, eggs, and skinless poultry can be served as is.

Some foods will take a little longer to cook than if you were to sauté or roast them and although meats will look less well done than they really are and may require searing to finish, they will be very tender, possess an even colour throughout and the flavour will be more concentrated.

Product Zone has teamed up with Instanta to offer readers the chance to win a SV25 sous vide machine worth over £1,000.


THE PRIZE
The winner will receive an Instanta SV25 digital sous vide machine. Specifically designed for the purpose of sous vide cooking, this 25 litre machine features a 290mm-deep, energy-efficient, insulated tank with a built-in circulating pump for even temperature distribution - which can be set between room temperature and 99°C.

Pouches can be suspended from the removable stainless steel rack which comes with the unit, or it can be segmented using optional stainless steel dividers.

The machine is easy to drain for cleaning, and has an audible low-water warning signal, as well as boil-dry protection to safeguard the element.

Five digital timers display hours, minutes and seconds, while the actual water temperature is also prominently displayed. The units come complete with a hinged-glass safety lid and a two-year guarantee.
