Nomiku's the right sous vide cooker at the wrong time

2014-10-08
AMC nuts right Kristin today we're taking a look at nama KU this is a sous-vide cooking device here that clamps onto the side of your pot and heats the water from the inside keeps it to a very consistent temperature and then you can drop in vacuum sealed bags of food or eggs or whatever you want really and cook it really precisely now we first saw namukku come up on Kickstarter back in 2012 and sit very well raised a lot of money and kind of brought sous vide into the spotlight a lot of tech enthusiasts after that we saw a whole host of competitors emerge with sous-vide being this exciting new cooking category and how does nama couch stack up to those well the good news is not McHugh does very well and all of our tests it cooked fantastic food I really can't stress that enough the eggs were perfect and easy to get exactly as poached as we liked the steak meat cooked was edge to edge pink and very very flavorful we all really enjoyed that the Sam and I cooked was great I am terrible cooking salmon normally but with nama coot was really easy the thing is those other sous-vide cookers did well too so it's not unique and that it offers sous-vide cooking that other products can't offer also those other products have kind of brought the price down nah McHugh still costs three hundred dollars while those often retail for two hundred or even $99 like the dork food dsv with all those competitors i'm not sure that nama q is the best value on the market although it's still a very good cooker the good news is that nama coos coming out with a new device in March of 2015 called the new namukku it's really just a remade nama cute it's got Wi-Fi built into it and best of all a lower price point at two hundred dollars so we're looking forward to that I think that might be the product you want not the original I really like the design the way that it clamps onto the side of the pot with this kind of thick rubber clamp here is very good it holds pretty well it slides down a little bit but then rests what's even better is this design up here on top you just touch the face to turn it on and then spin the dial to set the temperature that you want and it's really nice and capacitive if I spin fast I can go up 10 or 15 degrees at a time if i spend slow i can go by point one degree at a time a lot of other cookers dork food innova they can't they only set to a whole degree if you want precision cooking that's a nice nice feature it makes a little bit of noise less than desk fan didn't bother me at all but if you want a silent household that might be a point of consideration for you thanks for watching make sure you check out my full review and all the other reviews we've done over at cnet com foreseen that appliances I'm right Chris
