I am a mother of six boys and I can’t afford to pay $15 for the large glass container which lasts a week in our house. I have a pressure cooker so I am excited to make dulce de leche. I am from Argentina.

Even though it was an older model it was extremely easy to use. It had a thermometer probe so you could dial in the exact internal temp you would cook any meats. You could easily set the amount of moisture vs dry heat, so you could go from 400 to sear, open the door and blow out the heat and then drop the temp down to 180 for the rest of the slow cooking. That being said you can easily do most of those things with the CVap but it takes longer and it is not as obvious. Biggest difference is price point. Combi is about 20K and the CVap is 5K. You can move the CVap anywhere you have a 220V plug. Combi has to be hard plumbed.

Do you have a combi oven too? What are some pros and cons between cvap and combi?

My fellow staff members don’t quite get it. I have used it when teaching some of my classes and am amazed at how efficient it is. Did pot de creme at 200 degrees and it was firm and perfect at around 15 minutes. The unit fits under our kitchen counter but sticks out about 3 inches. It requires different voltage plug in which you have to configure in your home. Otherwise maintenance is minimal and it is very reliable. It can be a little tricky dialing in the exact temps and once you have it takes while to dial in another temperature. Combi ovens are a lot faster to respond.

Thanks so much for sharing your cvap experience. I run a cooking school out of my house in the Boston area, so I am in a similar situation to yours. CVAP produces wonderful results, but none of my students are going to buy one. I don’t have one currently, but I’ve seen what they can do at restaurants. I was wonderful about the practicality of putting one into my home kitchen. How big is your oven? How has the reliability and maintenance been? Are you still using it now that the novelty wore off?

Thanks,
-Helen

We make them at our school and feature them sometimes in our Argentinean classes. Hope the recipe for Dulce de Leche works out for you.

They are short bread cookie sandwiches, and just guess the middle filling :)
