Design & Features
Whether you have a large or small kitchen, the Sousvide Supreme Demi Water Oven provides a compact option to a traditional sous vide oven. At 11.3” x 10.96” x 12.99”, the Supreme Demi Water Oven can fit compactly on any kitchen surface. It also stores nicely in a pantry closet or under the sink. Don’t be fooled by this machine’s compact size as to it can hold 12, 4 ounce portions with a maximum water depth of 6 inches which is more than enough room to cook a roast!
The exterior has a coated steel shell with a polished aluminum lid. (Bonus here: you can utilize the aluminum lid to transfer your sous vide pouch after cooking is complete!). The aluminum lid traps steam and heat within the water oven providing high levels of efficiency of maintaining steady temperature throughout your cooking process.
The interior is made of an anodized aluminum, which provides double insulated walls to provide a safe exterior touch while operating. The maximum volume capacity of the unit is 2.3 gallons or 9 liters. Interior clean up is a breeze – as simple as emptying the unit of the water and wiping down with a clean cloth.
Temperature precision with this unit is able to be monitoring within 1 degree ranging from 86 F to 210 F. With the amount of precision control over temperature, you are able to cook meat, poultry, seafood, or desserts to the desired temperature while still providing tender and flavorful food. As with many sous vide styles of cooking, natural juices are protected in the cooking process trapping all flavor within the food throughout the cooking process. The Supreme Demi Water Oven does not fall short of this claim.
Performance and Final Thoughts
The Supreme Demi Water Oven is an at-home sous vide chef’s dream. With the ability to cook anything from leg of lamb to a fruit infused wine syrup, how can you go wrong? The ability of this unit to take an inexpensive cut of meat that typically is tough and turn it into something that tastes like a $150 filet mignon will have your guests requesting to come back to dinner at your house for years to come!
With cooking that is as easy as throwing on some seasoning to your desire, sealing in a vacuumed bag, and placing in a simmering water bath, how can you not love the simpleness of sous vide cooking that the Supreme Demi Water Oven can provide?

I bought Sous Vide in U.S. How can I use it here in the Philippines if its 110 volts?We use 220 volts here. thanks.
As far as I’m aware, SousVide Supreme does not offer 220 volt. However, Anova’s Immersion Circulator sous vide machine does have 220-240 volt options.
I bought mine through Amazon (before Anova and San Saire came on the market) and subsequently had to purchase a step-down transformer to take our 240-220V down to the 110V.
For SousVide cooking I use my old slow cooker. Perfect results every time and a lot cheaper than a Water Oven.
I bought a SousVide Supreme Touch 9l unit in November, 2020, that completely died several weeks while it was heating up. It’s supposedly still under warranty, so I called customer service (twice) and left messages describing my situation. Their message gave a strange excuse of COVID restrictions limiting their ability to answer their phones (?!?). After waiting a few days for a response that never came, I emailed customer service (3 times now), and have received NO response. They appear to be out of business.
