3.2 Come funziona

The VAVA Sous Vide Cooker uses a PTC heating core and a high-quality motor to heat and circulate water precisely. This creates a consistent temperature bath, cooking food evenly and preventing overcooking. The immersion circulator maintains the set temperature for the duration of your cooking time.
