A second ultrasonic generator 520 for applying may be provided.

For example, the ultrasonic generator 500 may implement the vibration of water by applying ultrasonic waves to the water stored in the storage space (S).

On the other hand, the controller 1000 stops the operation of the ultrasonic generator 500 in the sous vide mode, and operates the ultrasonic generator 500 in the standby mode of the sous vide mode. can

To explain this in more detail, in the sous vide mode, the inflow of water into the storage space S through the nozzle unit 300 and the inflow of water into the heating unit 600 from the storage space S are made. At this point, the water in the storage space (S) can be continuously moved.

On the other hand, in the standby mode, the inflow of water into the storage space (S) through the nozzle unit 300 and the inflow of water from the storage space (S) into the heating unit 600 during sous vide cooking are not performed. In this case, in order to more efficiently implement the sous vide cooking, the ultrasonic generator 500 applies ultrasonic waves to the water stored in the storage space S to implement vibration of the water, thereby removing the water from the water. The transfer of heat to the food material can be implemented more efficiently.

That is, when sous vide cooking requires, for example, to continuously heat ingredients for 3 hours at a temperature of 60 degrees, the control unit 1000 according to the input value of the user's sous vide cooking at a temperature of 60 degrees for 3 hours , in the sous vide mode, after inflow and outflow of water heated to 60 degrees by the heating unit 600 into the storage space (S), the storage space (S) by switching to the standby mode in about 5 minutes After stopping the inflow and outflow of water, the ultrasonic generator 500 is operated, and then, when the temperature of the water is lowered from 60 degrees (a thermometer sensing the temperature of the water in the storage space S is to be installed further can), change from the standby mode to the sous vide mode to introduce and outflow water heated to 60 degrees by the heating unit 600 into the storage space (S) at the same time as the ultrasonic wave generating unit 500 operation can be stopped.

As a result, sous vide cooking in the sous vide mode can be implemented more effectively.

Meanwhile, the sink 10 may further include a vacuum packaging unit 700 disposed on the frame 100 for vacuum packaging food packaging.

Therefore, after the user vacuum-packs the food material requiring sous vide cooking through the vacuum packaging unit 700, it is possible to cook the sous vide very easily through the sous vide mode.
