Sous Vide Tools iVide Plus WiFi Sous Vide Circulator SVT-01006

The Sous Vide Tools iVide Plus is a clip-on thermal circulator designed for professional kitchen use. It clamps to the side of any suitable stainless steel or polycarbonate container up to 80 litres, creating a precisely controlled water bath for sous vide cooking without the need for a dedicated built-in unit. A 5-inch touchscreen provides direct on-unit control, and built-in WiFi allows temperature and timing to be monitored or adjusted remotely via the companion app — useful in busy services where the cook cannot be stationed at the unit continuously.

In practice, the iVide Plus is well regarded for the consistency it brings to high-volume protein cookery. The 2.2kW heating element brings large water volumes up to temperature relatively quickly for a circulator of this type, and the stirred circulation system — running at 10 litres per minute — keeps the bath uniform throughout, eliminating the cold pockets that can compromise consistency in larger containers. Temperature stability to within 0.07°C means that results are reliably repeatable across a full service or an overnight batch cook, which matters when producing large quantities of vacuum-packed proteins or vegetables to a consistent specification.

• Precise temperature control reduces risk of inconsistency across large batch cooks
• Remote WiFi monitoring frees kitchen staff to attend to other tasks during long cooks
• Clip-on design works with existing containers, avoiding the cost of a dedicated vessel
• Consistent water circulation eliminates temperature variation within the bath
• Stainless steel construction holds up well in a commercial kitchen environment

Installation is straightforward — the unit clamps onto a suitable container and connects to a standard 13-amp socket. There are no plumbing or gas connections required. The primary practical consideration is the vessel itself: the container must be capable of holding the water volume safely and withstanding sustained heat, and operators will need to factor evaporation management into longer cook cycles. The unit weighs 4.2kg and is compact enough to store easily between services. WiFi connectivity requires a stable kitchen network signal within reasonable range of the unit.

The iVide Plus is well suited to restaurants, hotel kitchens, and catering operations that use sous vide as a regular part of their production process — particularly where batch volumes justify a serious, reliable circulator rather than a lighter-duty entry-level unit. It is most appropriate for kitchens with established sous vide workflows. For sites running multiple large baths simultaneously or requiring continuous high-volume output, it is worth discussing whether a higher-capacity setup would better match the operation.

If you are unsure whether this circulator matches your batch volumes or existing container setup, the team is happy to talk through the options with you.
