Click here  The Best Immersion Circulators for Sous Vide Cooking Once a pricey technology for high-end chefs and science labs, immersion circulators have now fully penetrated the home market. We put 10 of the most popular ones to the test to see which is best for sous vide cooking at home. Here are the winners.   The Best Immersion Circulator: ChefSteps Joule Sous Vide The Joule is an impressive piece of sous vide machinery packed into a ridiculously lightweight and compact device. It has almost everything you could ask for in an at-home immersion circulator—it's accurate, it heats up water quickly and quietly, and it has a sleek design with innovative features. It's also 20% off today.  The Best Immersion Circulator With Onboard Display: Anova Precision Cooker Anova's Precision Cooker is our favorite immersion circulator that features a display with onboard controls. We love being able to set up and calibrate a sous vide water bath without being forced to use our phones, especially when we're working with messy ingredients.  The Best Affordable Immersion Circulator: Instant Pot Accu Slim Sous Vide Immersion Circulator Of the affordable immersion circulators that we tested, the Accu Slim performed the best. It's a bare-bones machine with a simple display interface—no bells and whistles, no paired app, no Bluetooth or WiFi connectivity—but that's what makes it appealing and such a great deal. It knows its lane and keeps to it, performing the essential task of an immersion circulator quite well: heating and circulating water at a precise temperature.
