Immersion cooking, "sous vide", is cooking food in a sealed bag in a water bath. "instant pot" are more like smart cockpot/pressure cookers where the food is contained a pressurized (sometimes) vessel in air. Which is better depends on the type of food and cooking technique you wish to utilize.
- tptacek 10y agoOh, I misunderstood what you were suggesting --- I thought you were proposing a new packaging for "sous vide" style cooking. I get what I can do with a pressure cooker that I can't do with a circulator. I do not get what I can do with an unpressurized "smart crock pot" that I can't do with a circulator.
- krzat 10y agoYou would have one device instead of two. Also stirrer could be perhaps used for regular cooking, to mix sauce or something.
- chockablock 10y agoIf you already have/want an InstantPot (or other electric pressure cooker), adding ability to do sous-vide in the same machine would be a plus (they already market them as "7-in-1!"--it's a crockpot; it's a yogurt maker). Also, the pressure vessel means you can go to water temps above 100C. Not sure if that's a useful/interesting range for most ingredients, but some creative souls might find a use for it.
