For years, we’ve watched sous vide cooking on various shows and wondered if it could fit into our homestead lifestyle. With a freezer full of meats and a curiosity for precision cooking, it was finally time to give it a try. The Nano seemed like the perfect entry point—affordable, well-reviewed, and simple enough for beginners.

Inside the box, we found the immersion circulator itself and a quick start guide. No frills, no fluff—just the essentials. We also discussed the accompanying app, which has recently received mixed reviews. But here at Serendipity Farmhouse, we prefer hands-on cooking over remote control. If we’re going to cook, we’re going to be in the kitchen.

I demonstrated how the Nano clamps onto a pot and explained its digital controls, water level markings, and cord length (which, thankfully, is generous enough for most kitchen setups). We even brought out a second box—a birthday bonus accessory to help retain heat during cooking.

Tonight’s dinner? New York strip steaks, cooked sous vide style. We won’t be filming that part, but rest assured, we’ll report back with results once we’ve mastered the technique.

This video marks the beginning of our sous vide journey, and we’re inviting you to come along. Whether you’re a seasoned pro or just curious about cooking under vacuum, we hope you’ll enjoy the laughs, the learning, and the love that fills our kitchen.

Stay tuned for more sous vide adventures, and don’t forget to like, comment, and subscribe. Together, we’ll make the Serendipity Farmhouse Test Kitchen world famous—one gadget at a time.
