AnovaCulinary (ANOVA) ᴿᴱᴰ Precision Cooker, Black, Medium

Easy to use, easy to clean, stores away with little space. I've used this item mostly for beef. Less expensive cuts like sirloin come out tender and tasty. Wonderful on chicken. I bone my chicken so I have no fear of blood by the bone. I got most of my tips and cooking times from the Anova cooking site. The unit is a little noisy but a great addition to my cooking toys.

We have discovered sous vide cooking, and love the Anova. Anova’s customer service is the best! Had an issue with our first buy, emailed them, returned the unit (with their prepaid return postage), and within days had a new one.

I never heard of Sous Vide prior to a month or so ago when my buddy Dale mentioned them to me. He said it is an entire new ballgame when it comes to cooking. He was not lying! If you have the patience you will love using a Sous Vide as the meats do not shrink and do not dry out. Even the fat on the steak melts in your mouth as opposed to being chewy. Thus far I made chicken, steak, ribs, asparagus, Brussels sprout, and my favorite... salmon! Great product!

Easy to use and effective

This damn thing just isn’t turning on to heat the water!!! Originally, I had 85F water in the pot, and after 2 hrs, it was only 88F. I dumped out all of the water and started over with 114F water. After an hour, it’s down to 112F! The set point is 129F! WTF! It won’t heat the water!
