Convinced that Sous Vide is the best cooking method since the discovery of fire? Then you probably own a circulator or a similar device. To start, a zip-bag, a cooking pot and a thermometer is all you need. Many Sous Vide recipes work without special equipment. But you will need good advice! Sous Vide has been adopted in professional kitchens for producing precise and consistent results. The Sous Vide method produces perfectly cooked food with outstanding flavor. Its success in high-end cuisine changed the culinary world. With a few starting tips anyone can use this technique. Step-by-step tutorials and Sous Vide timers (mini-recipes with an alarm) help you along the way. Ideas, suggestions or anything you would like to change? Contact us with your feedback on UserVoice! The time for a piece of meat to reach a core temperature can be calculated. A formula using thermal diffusivity, thermal conductivity and surface heat transfer calculates the time such shapes as cylinders, cubes and steaks need to acquire a certain core temperature. Consider the PolyScience Toolbox App or Douglas Baldwin’s formulas for calculating pasteurization times. But food is never an exact geometrical shape and waiting for an extra hour for a piece to reach an additional half a degree is impractical. Adjustments for speed and efficiency improve the Sous Vide experience. We have tested Sous Vide recommendations that work and tutorials that make the first steps easy - for professionals and home cooks alike! Sous Vide - no other cooking method gives you so much control! Don’t get the Anova Pro or the new Anova Precision Cooker (2019) as these devices are no longer equipped with Bluetooth!

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: iVide at Free against Sous Vide °Celsius's $4.99. iVide also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.7). Sous Vide °Celsius's advantage is review sentiment (55% vs 21%) and ratings volume (342 vs 1). On update cadence, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

iVide holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Sous Vide °Celsius has 342 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 55% of Sous Vide °Celsius's written reviews are positive against 21% of iVide's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Sous Vide °Celsius ships an update every 2 months, iVide monthly. Both last shipped on October 24, 2026.
