The 'bowl' in this model is an integral part of the cooker and not independently removable like some slow cookers.

===Cooking large items===
===Modifying the rack for cooking large items===
This model comes with a removable rack, similar to a large toast rack, which is fine for holding small items.  I've found that large items, like [[Sous vide spatchcock chicken with bulb fennel orange and onion|sous-vide whole chicken]] tend to sit on the base of the bath. This means food is likely to get overcooked when in direct contact with the heat source on the base.  I have an Ikea stainless steel saucer (from Ikea) that sits on the bottom of the bath and holds food away from the bottom.  If you do use something like this, ensure it does not cover the chrome thermocouple 'nipple' or the temperature regulation is likely to be badly affected.
[[Image:Removeable food rack Andrew James Sous Vide.jpg|300px|thumb|right|Separated into two pieces, the rack can be used to support large items and asa intended.]]
I found the removable rack pretty useless for holding large items so I separated the rack into two pieces with an angle grinder.  This way the rack can be used as originally intended, and also for supporting large items to ensure good heat circulation.
 
Be careful to finish properly with a file as stainless steel can be razor sharp.
