  • Patent number: 11910948
    Abstract: A sous vide cooker having a housing, a bulkhead attached to the housing to form a first cavity, a heat sink attached to the bulkhead to form a second cavity, and a skirt attached to the bulkhead to form a third cavity below the heat sink. A TRIAC is physically attached in conductive thermal communication to the heat sink in the second cavity. The cooker also has a motor, an impeller located in the third cavity, a drive shaft extending through at least the heat sink and into the third cavity and operatively connecting the motor to the impeller, and a heating element located within the third cavity.
