It combines an 800 W heating element with an electronic temperature control and an illuminated LCD to maintain stable temperatures up to 90 °C. With IPX7 waterproofing and a circulation rate suitable for domestic pans, the SV 80 is designed for mobile, space-saving use in home kitchens.

Advantages

The unit is waterproof to IPX7 and provides exact electronic temperature control with a maximum of 0.1 °C deviation. It heats approximately 20 litres of water to 56 °C in about 45 minutes and circulates water at about 12 l/min. The illuminated LCD shows current temperature and a timer adjustable up to 99 hours. The device is compact and suitable for use with any pan at least 15 cm deep, preserving flavour, texture and nutrients through gentle sous‑vide cooking.

How to use

Attach the Steba SV 80 to a pan with a minimum depth of 15 cm and fill the pan with the required amount of water. Set the desired temperature on the illuminated LCD and program the timer if needed. The device will heat and circulate the water to reach and maintain the set temperature; place vacuum-sealed food into the water once the target temperature is reached. After cooking, remove food from the bag and finish according to recipe instructions (for example, sear meat briefly).

Recommendations

For consistent results, preheat to the target temperature before adding food, ensure bags are properly sealed to prevent water ingress, and use a pot large enough for unobstructed circulation. Observe maximum temperature and time settings appropriate for the type of food.
