Passing through my old hometown, I was short of some of my usual equipment, vacuum and water bath. I called Fisher Scientific’s headquarters and asked where I could purchase an immersion circulating pump. I was directed to William Sonoma, where I found a simple model that does the job. This is an excellent machine, it is compact and sleek. It vacuum sufficiently and does the job.
