Sous Vide Equipment

Whether you’re new to sous vide cooking or you’re experienced and looking to expand your sous vide tool kit, we have you covered at Top Sous Vide.

We’ve tried A LOT of sous vide equipment and done a TON of research on the products over the years. This allows us to confidently make recommendations to you so you can spend your time on more important things.

Sous Vide Machine

If you’re looking for a new, replacement, or additional sous vide cooker, I recommend you start with our 10 Best Sous Vide Machines (2023). There are a handful of key dimensions I look at when testing and using sous vide cookers. Those key dimensions are: power, noise, features and accuracy.

Sous Vide Container

Next to a sous vide machine, a sous vide container is the next most essential item. Sure you can cook in a stockpot or something similar, but there are a lot of advantages to having a container specifically made for sous vide.

Particularly if you plan on cooking longer cooks for things like amazing foolproof brisket or short ribs, or at higher temps for some perfectly cooked vegetables. A sous vide container with a lid is more or less necessary in these situations.

A great place to start is our 8 Best Sous Vide Containers post.

Vacuum Sealer

Vacuum sealers can do a lot for you well beyond use for sous vide. They’re a great investment that will allow you to buy in bulk while alleviating worries about spoilage.

The added benefit of vacuum sealing to freeze with sous vide is that you can cook your food sous vide straight from the freezer. Yup, that’s right, you can sous vide frozen steak. Forget defrosting.

Vacuum sealers really vary in price points and capabilities. Our 11 Best Sous Vide Vacuum Sealers post will get you started making sense of what’s best for you.

On a related note, you can check out our Best Sous Vide Bags – Ziplock, Silicone, or Vacuum here.

Kitchen Torch

Searing is an essential final step in sous vide cooking and a kitchen torch is a wonderfully handy tool to finish the job.

Some kitchen torches are best suited for smaller jobs like crème brûlée while others are suited only for protein given the intensity of the flame.

You can learn about what best suits you by reading 7 Best Sous Vide Torches.

Other Sous Vide Accessories

There are a lot of other sous vide accessories, such as weights and magnets. Here are a couple posts worth reading if you’re interested in exploring the topic:
