Zwilling sous-vide rod lid

The Zwilling Sous-vide Rod Lid is a perfect complement for sous-vide cooking. Its shape is specially designed to be able to cover the pot or casserole with the rod in place , without losing the steam or heat from the cooking of the water, reducing energy consumption by almost 50% and extending the useful life of the rod.

The lid has a silicone insert to cover the hole for the rod. By fitting the silicone insert, you can use the lid for traditional cooking in your 24 cm pots and casseroles, just like you would with any other lid.

Is a lid essential for sous-vide cooking?

Although it is not essential to use the lid to cook with the sous-vide rod, it is a recommended utensil , especially for long cooking:

• It manages to reduce the evaporation of cooking water , so you will not have to add water to maintain the level with the same frequency. This also reduces water consumption.
• The rod will be able to maintain the cooking temperature much more easily, reducing heating cycles. In short cooking it is not very significant, but in cooking for several hours it is a factor to take into account, since we will extend the useful life of the rod.
• By being able to maintain the heat and steam inside , keeping the temperature better, the rod works better and more efficiently, so energy consumption is reduced by almost 50% if you cook with the lid on.

In the same way that happens when cooking in a traditional way, with the lid on it is possible to reduce energy consumption and make better use of the steam and heat of cooking.

Characteristics:

• 18/10 stainless steel lid with silicone insert.
