The resulting food is so good that even Michelin rated chefs use the Nomiku daily.Why it’s a big deal: This may be the biggest innovation in home cooking since the microwave 40 years ago. Sous vide was previously reserved for professional kitchens, but Nomiku has brought it to the masses with a machine that is more affordable and more accurate than any other professional option. Investing in Nomiku is a bet that most Americans would enjoy an easier way to cook high-quality food at home.

FAQ:
- Q: How will you use this money?
  A: Great question. We will use it to make our software more robust and build our sourcing processes to reduce our BOM cost.
- Q: How much effort are you putting into online ready-to-sous-vide food sales? Do you see any real potential in this revenue stream? E.g. grocery deliver prepackaged for sous vide cooking.
  A: Thanks for the question Ben! We are already in private beta for our food delivery program with BiRite eat.nomiku.com. Of our sample size people that reorder food typically spend $93 dollars a week. If 15K people on the app (those are just the ones with Nomikus, anybody with a sous vide can join the largest sous vide community Tender) spend $10 a day on food we make 54MM in revenue annually.
- Q: Have you applied for or got any patents for Nomiku in the USA? How about in any other countries? How do you plan to protect your intellectual property going forward?
  A: Yes we've applied for a few patents and are trademarked internationally.
- Q: How does the nomiku compare to the anova culinary precision cooker. At first glance they seem to be very similar products. Also is sous vide cooking too technical for the general public? There seems to be a concern with undercooking food items and possible botulism? Thanks!
  A: Hey Dilraj, good question! Nomikus are the smallest, most powerful, and easiest to use circulator on the market and we created the market with the introduction of the classic Nomiku Sous Vide. The general public love sous vide: https://vimeo.com/84164442 http://www.hallmarkchannel.com/home-and-family/videos/dan-kohler-in-the-kitchen-home-family Cooking food properly is always a concern for any method and we make sure to keep our community informed of best practices.
- Q: When do you expect to have the nomiku available at target and costco? Any other big box retailers being targeted before or after the holiday season?
  A: Hello Dilraj, that's a great questions and we're on the right track to be part of Target and Costco. We will be testing in Target this fall and Costco subsequently after that.
