SAMMIC SmartVide 5 Precision Cooker with Stirrer

A precision cooker circulates warm water around food at a temperature held within a fraction of a degree. The water bath transfers heat evenly, so every piece cooks to the same doneness without overcooking the outside. A built-in stirrer keeps the water moving, eliminating hot and cold spots that would spoil consistency. Because the temperature never rises above the set point, proteins stay tender, vegetables keep their colour and cell structure, and liquids such as stocks or infusions retain their clarity and flavour.

The SmartVide 5 lowers into any container up to 30 litres. The operator fills the container with water, sets the target temperature and time on the full-colour TFT display, and starts the cycle. The cooker heats the water, stirs it continuously, and holds the temperature until the timer ends. While the food cooks, the chef can attend to other tasks; the unit requires no further attention until the cycle finishes. At the end of cooking, the juices released from the food remain in the container and can be used immediately for sauces or reductions.

The body is made of thick stainless steel for durability under daily use. The front panel and carrying handle are moulded from fibre-glass-reinforced polyamide to resist heat and impact. An ergonomic handle on the top allows the unit to be lifted from one container to another without spilling.

Controls consist of four buttons and the TFT display. One button sets the temperature, another sets the cooking time, a third starts or stops the cycle, and the fourth accesses Bluetooth functions. The display shows the current water temperature, the target temperature, the time remaining, and the status of the Bluetooth connection.

A power rating of 1.6 kW indicates the load on the electrical circuit; the unit plugs into a standard 230 V outlet found in professional kitchens. The weight of 3.1 kg makes it easy to move between workstations or to transport off-site. The footprint of 116 mm by 128 mm fits on the rim of most stock pots and gastronorm containers up to 30 litres.

Cleaning involves wiping the stainless-steel body with a damp cloth and mild detergent. The polyamide parts can be cleaned the same way; neither material requires special treatment. The stirrer should be removed and rinsed under running water after each use to prevent food particles from drying on it.

The SmartVide 5 is a single model; no variants are listed. An optional carrying bag is available for transport.
