Sous Vide Tools SVT-01001 Compact 14Ltr Water Bath

The Sous Vide Tools SVT-01001 is a compact countertop water bath designed for precise low-temperature cooking in professional kitchen environments. It holds 14 litres of water and maintains temperature to within 0.1°C, making it a reliable tool for chefs working with sous vide proteins, vegetables, or holding preparations at consistent serving temperatures.

In a working kitchen, consistency is what makes sous vide viable as a service method. The SVT-01001 achieves this through a heater and temperature sensor positioned beneath the inner tank, with natural convection circulating water evenly throughout the bath. Removable lids reduce evaporation during extended holds, which helps maintain both temperature stability and water levels across a service period. The unit also incorporates low water level protection — if the bath is switched on dry or drops below the minimum level, it shuts off automatically and sounds an alarm, which is a practical safeguard in a busy pass.

From an operational standpoint, the four movable stainless steel partitions are one of the more useful features. They allow the bath to be divided into sections, so chefs can separate proteins from vegetables, keep freshly loaded pouches apart from those already at temperature, or manage portion holds across different table covers without losing track. The touchscreen display is clearly visible and straightforward to operate without removing gloves.

• Accurate temperature control supports consistent results across repeated service covers
• Partitioned interior allows multiple products to hold simultaneously
• Low water protection reduces the risk of heat element damage
• Removable lids help retain temperature and reduce top-up frequency
• Compact footprint suits kitchens where bench space is limited

At 4.9kg and with a compact footprint, this unit requires only a standard power supply and a nearby water source for filling. It sits comfortably on a countertop or prep bench and needs no fixed installation. The stainless steel construction is easy to clean between services. There are no gas or ventilation requirements. For very high-volume operations running large batch sous vide programmes, a higher-capacity model would be more appropriate — this unit is best suited to smaller menus or kitchens where sous vide is used for specific preparations rather than as a primary cooking method across the whole menu.

The SVT-01001 is well suited to restaurants, hotel kitchens, and supper clubs incorporating sous vide techniques into their menu, as well as catering operations needing reliable temperature-controlled holding.
