Launched at the Restaurant Show the Control Freak™ is the first unit of its kind that can accurately measure, set and hold 397 cooking temperatures from 30°-252°C. The unique real-time sensing system uses a through-glass sensor to directly measure surface temperature whilst the Probe Control™ remote thermometer precisely controls the temperature of both water and fat-based liquids. The ‘Intensity’ function gives incredible control over the heat up speed to the set temperature and the ‘Create’ function stores frequently used custom temperature profiles for simple one-touch recall. The Control Freak™ operates from a standard 13amp socket and comes with a 2 year parts and labour warranty.
Offering precise temperature control to half a degree and a power range of 100-1800 watts, the Control Freak™ is ideal for cooking a wide range of sauces and is particularly useful for creating items that require very specific temperature control. For example, custard, which can be heated to exactly 81°C in order to pasteurise the eggs, but not a degree more, to ensure that it doesn’t ‘split’.
Available in the UK for the first time the Control Freak™ has already made its mark in the USA with multi-Michelin starred chef Thomas Keller amongst its fans: “We have been using it daily in the commis’ kitchen at The French Laundry and it has performed flawlessly; better than any induction cooking system we have used to date. Smart features such as the easily navigable digital display, the precision of its dials, the ability to program recipe settings and maintain temperatures accurately for any length of time, make the Control Freak™ the new gold standard for induction cooking.”
Sous Vide Tools are the exclusive importer of the Control Freak™ in the UK where it will be marketed under the brand of ‘Sage Commercial powered by PolyScience’. For further information, visit www.sousvidetools.com or call 0800 678 5001.
