Overall are you pleased with your freshmeals solutions controller? Trying to decide between that and a sous vide supreme. Also need to determine what “cooker” I would use. I have several rival roasters but no rice cooker. thoughts?

Morgan,

I assume you were addressing me.

I’m very pleased with the freshmeals solutions, but I’m not sure the pricing is competitive anymore. They want $160 for the controller. If you have a good cooker already, that might be the way to go. A large rice cooker like mine is about $100. The solution from freshmeals is probably more versatile, but runs about $150. There might be a package deal.

Last I looked, the Sous Vide Supreme is $400, and the demi is $300. At that point you might decide that the Supreme is less hassle to haul around and get started, you don’t have to worry about the sensor touching cold food, or the heating element, etc.

I’m pleased with the rice cooker, but not with the rival roaster. The roaster has too much temperature swing, unless I preheat with a large amount of water compared to the amount of food I’ll be using. It’s OK for vegetables, and as a backup for smaller meals.

Especially in the winter, when no heat is wasted, I keep ’em going all the time.
