the Melo is a $400 countertop sous-vide machine that brings a new concept to cooking with the water bath the metal not only heats up your food but it also will keep your food cool until you're ready for your meal to start cooking here's how it works sous-vide is a method of precision cooking during which you place food in a vacuum-sealed bag and cook it in a temperature controlled water bath to sous-vide with the Melo you first fill the Melos removable container with water and place it on its countertop base the Melo detects the weight of the water and automatically it begins to cool it down to 40 degrees Fahrenheit that cooling allows you to keep your food in the Mellow at a safe temperature until you want it to cook your meal so you could put a piece of salmon in the Mellow in the morning use the Melos after schedule when you want that semen to be ready and go about your day without having to worry about your fish going bad the mellow is at its best when you follow the cooking recommendations of its accompanying app it's great at circulating water around your food so that all parts of something like a small steak are cooked evenly and the app itself is pretty easy to use select what you want to cook when you want to cook it and walk away until your meal is ready but the mellow wouldn't be a great appliance if you like to experiment with sous-vide for example the size of the container really limits how much food you can put in at once and if you have a big piece of meat like a flank steak I worry about the ability for the water to circulate around it well and the app is a little counterintuitive when you want to put in your own recipes consider the mellow if you're a moderate sous-vide enthusiast who wants to make sure dinner is ready exactly when you want it to be if you're still not sure about cooking your food in a water bath go for a less expensive immersion circulator instead
