Ziva sous vide insulation balls (250 pieces)

Practical to use with handy storage bag

To make using the insulation balls even easier, we now include an extra large, dishwasher-safe bag. Fill the bag with the balls and place it in the water bath. The balls still cover the surface of the water perfectly, but remain in the bag, making it easy to remove them from the bath in one go after use. Thanks to the dishwasher-safe bag, cleaning is also a breeze.

Up to 90% less loss and keeps your pockets under water

These insulating balls greatly reduce evaporation (water loss) and heat loss by up to 90% when using a sous-vide circulator in a lidless sous-vide water bath. In addition, your vacuum bags will remain well under water and you do not have to worry about them floating. In addition, the balls have a strong sound insulation, sun protection and reduce odors. ‰one pack of 250 sous-vide insulating balls is more than enough for our most common7 and 12 liter sous-vide water tanks and will save you a lot of water and electricity.

SousVideKenner strongly recommends the use of sous-vide insulation to enhance your sous-vide experience and its efficiency. The balls come in a handy dishwasher and water-resistant bag and can easily be cleaned and stored in the bag from time to time.

When the entire surface of the reservoir is covered with these balls, heat loss and evaporation are greatly reduced, up to 90%. In addition, the effects of odors and light are minimized. A pack of 250 sous-vide insulation balls is sufficient for approx. 30 x 30 cm or gastronorm containers GN 1/2.

Also suitable for sous-vide water ovens with lid

Sous-vide insulation balls also prove useful in sous-vide water ovens. A lid only prevents the water from escaping, which is useful for very long cooking times. But a lot of energy is still lost during evaporation, the vapour condenses against the cold(er) lid after which the cooled droplets precipitate back into the bath. That is even a double energy loss, which means that heating up takes longer and keeping warm costs more power.

Sousvidekenner insulation balls tackle this problem at the source by preventing evaporation of the water (no contact between air and water) and are therefore the most effective and user-friendly method to optimize the efficiency (and speed) of your sous-vide cooking process. We also see that water ovens with insulation balls heat up faster (how much depends on the sous-vide machine and circumstances). In addition, the balls prevent the bags from floating and possibly part of the product from unnoticed coming above the water surface (this sometimes occurs due to heating of still present air or degassing of the product). The balls can easily be cleaned in the dishwasher with bag!

Perfect for our sous-vide reservoirs

Sousvidekenner insulation balls are a perfect match for the following sous-vide containers. With one pack of 250 sous-vide insulation balls you have enough for thepolycarbonate sous-vide containers of 7 liters and 12 liters .

How much do you need

One pack of 250 sous videkenner insulation balls is enough to cover a surface of approx ^{. 0.2m2} . This is approximately the surface of a GN1/2 sous-vide reservoir. Below you will find an overview of the number of packs you need per type of reservoir.
