I have been using the Suvie cooking system since version 1.0. I discovered it while looking for ways to decrease the time spent cooking meals. I retired while my wife continued working, so I volunteered to take over the cooking chores. Being an IT developer for over 45 years, figuring out ways to automate manual processes comes second nature to me. As a result of getting in early, I have been able to provide lots of feedback to the Suvie team and have been able to work through some initial bumps along the way. Overall, this is an incredible robot system. I use both the main Suvie unit and the Starch unit. I am still waiting for the complete integration of the two units but am managing in the meantime. One of the best features of this system is its ability to schedule meals for a future completion time. It does an incredible job of keeping the food cool in the unit until it is time to cook it. The preciseness of the start to finish time is one of its highlights. When my wife gives me a time she expects to be home from work, I can set up the schedule to match her arrival to the minute. The variety of food meal options continues to increase as time goes on. We have a few favorites and have especially enjoyed the salmon selections. The convenience of having 2 portions of fresh fish ready for a meal outweighs the lower cost of purchasing a fresh side of salmon from our grocery that has to be cut and then repackaged and frozen. Even without the pre-packaged meals, the Suvie system is easy to program your own meals from scratch. I have vacuum packed beef filets that I then sous-vide in the Suvie using the completion time and temperature. I have grilled chicken breast using the same program as one of the prepared meals. It has been an amazing appliance in our home. My wife who was not initially impressed due to the cost has become a major fan. It means she doesn't have to cook, the meals are prepared on time, there is a minimal amount of post meal cleanup, we are eating more healthy meals at home than ever before. Finally, I enjoy the ease in meal preparation. Plus I believe I would have struggled with being consistent if the preparation process had been a difficult and time consuming task.
