ProfiCook PC-SV 1112 review

Not a stick but a tank: an 8.5-liter sous-vide cooker in a stainless housing with a non-stick cooking container, adjustable from 45 to 90 °C (113 to 194 °F) on a 72-hour timer. Slow-cook, yoghurt and keep-warm functions are included, along with tongs and a stainless rack.

The net of it The one that is a different machine. Three of the four sous-vide products here are sticks that clamp to a pot you already own; this is a tank with a lid. The trade is exact: no clamp fit, no minimum depth, no pot tied up for a day — against a fixed 8.5 liters and a box that lives in a cupboard. The 72-hour timer is the tell. This is built for the long cooks, and it publishes accessory references so the bags match.

A tank, not a stick

The other three sous-vide products on this site are immersion circulators: a heater and a pump on a clamp, dropped into a pot you already own. This is a water oven — a sealed 8.5-liter tank with its own lid.

The trade is precise and it has nothing to do with cooking quality:

  • a tank has no clamp fit to check and no minimum water depth;
  • a tank has a fixed capacity and takes permanent cupboard space;
  • a stick ties up a stockpot for the duration; a tank does not.

45 to 90 °C (113 to 194 °F), for up to 72 hours

The range is narrower at the bottom than the sticks here — 45 °C (113 °F) against 25 °C (77 °F) on the Vpcok and the Caso. The 72-hour timer is the headline: nothing else in this family comes close, and it is what a water oven is for.

Three more functions

Slow cook, yoghurt and keep warm, on top of sous-vide. A sealed tank with precise low heat is exactly the right hardware for yoghurt.

Build and box

Stainless housing with a non-stick cooking container, plus tongs and a stainless rack. ProfiCook also publishes references for its own vacuum bags, which removes the usual guesswork about what fits.

On temperatures

The range above is what the appliance holds. Times and temperatures for particular foods come from the manufacturer’s material and from your national food safety authority — not from this page.

The plus side, and the minus

Strengths

  • A sealed 8.5 L tank rather than a stick and a pot — no clamp fit to worry about
  • The longest timer of the family by far: 72 hours
  • Slow-cook, yoghurt and keep-warm functions on top of sous-vide
  • Tongs and a stainless rack supplied, and ProfiCook lists its own bag references

Compromises

  • 8.5 liters is a fixed ceiling — a stick works in whatever pot you own
  • A tank takes permanent cupboard space that a stick does not
  • 45 °C (113 °F) floor, against 25 °C (77 °F) on the Vpcok and the Caso
  • No temperature stability figure and no wattage published

What readers want to know

Tank or stick — which should I choose?

A stick clamps to a pot you already own and stores in a drawer, but needs a clamp that fits and a minimum water depth. A tank has neither problem and is fixed at its own capacity — here 8.5 liters — and occupies cupboard space permanently. Nothing about the cooking differs; the choice is about your kitchen.

What is a 72-hour timer for?

Long, low cooks. It is by far the longest timer among the sous-vide appliances on this site. As always, the times and temperatures for any particular food are the manufacturer’s to publish and your national food safety authority’s to govern.
