Anova Culinary Sous Vide Precision Cooker 3.0 (WiFi), 1100 Watts

I have owned a few sous vide over the years. I really love how magical they are at making perfect steaks and roast beef with even the most economical cuts.I liked the following features of this particular model:1. It is very easy to program using their free app. I did not have a problem with losing signal when I wandered around the house like others have reported. I like that I could follow its cooking time and water temp on my smartphone.2. The clamp that holds the sous vide to the water container is easily removable from the sous vide. The one I had previously had a spring loaded clamp but eventually it cracked off the sous vide and I had to throw it away. It had a screw that holds the clamp to the pot and another that holds the sou vide securely. It is easily removed.3. I liked that it can be disassembled for easy cleaning.4. It has a highly accurate thermostat from what I could tell. At least the medium rare roast beef I cooked was perfectly medium rare throughout. It gives readings to 1/10 degree F.For those who aren't all that familiar with sous vide cooking, many restaurants use them to get perfect, slow cooked meals, especially meats done to perfection. And you don't need to be hovering around the oven to make sure it doesn't overcook. If you're busy and can't get to it for 30 minutes, it's still a good.I once cooked a eye of chuck, a tasty but chewy cut of beef to medium rare for several hours to give it time to essentially "tenderize," then used it for Beef Wellington and it was as delicious! It came out as tender as tenderloin at 1/3 the cost!There really couldn't be an easier way to cook a fancy perfectly cooked meal than with this "set it and forget it" device.

The Anova Culinary Sous Vide Precision Cooker 3.0 is an excellent kitchen gadget. Its app interface is intuitive and smooth, making cooking effortless. It heats water quickly and maintains the desired temperature with precision. The WiFi function is a game-changer, allowing remote monitoring and control. Compact yet powerful, it fits most pots and is easily portable. While not completely silent, the noise level is acceptable. Plus, it works independently using its lid controls. A great buy for sous vide enthusiasts!

I've had this Sous Vide for a month now and I love it. I've cooked steak, ribs, lamb, pork chops and all came out cooked to perfection. Finishing ribs for about 1 hour on the smoker at 300° to crisp the skin made them perfect, and I add my BBQ sauce at about 40 minutes. Learning how to finish each item (Required) to your taste is an art, but the Avona app has helpful suggestions. One note, the app is not expensive, but does have a cost to use it. At $10 per year, It is worth subscribing to in my opinion, especially if you are new to this type of cooking.I use my vacuum sealer to prep the food so can't comment on the included bags, but will say all of my friends use a vacuum sealer as well. I think that is a great accessory to the sous vide, and useful on many other things as well.Both cooking and cleanup are are breeze. The hardest part of the cook is seasoning and vacuum sealing the food. The cooking is literally poring water in the tub and using the app to turn on the guided cook. Cleanup is easy as well, take the lid off the container, pull your food out, and pour the water down the drain.... it is clean so this week I am letting it cook and using it to water my plants.One suggestion I have, I ordered the 12 Qt insulated container which is great, but I wish I had ordered the dual container with the 24 Qt tub as well. If you are cooking something large like a full rack of ribs, the larger container would be helpful.I would absolutely recommend this product.

I've had this for years and LOVE it. It can be as advanced and tech-y as you want or a simple on set off too.This immersion cooker sets temperature by half degrees, has wifi for remote control and timing, but also dial and buttons for when you want to start it but your phone is upstairs, lol.Easy to clean, compact storage, low water shut off safety feature, and very quiet.Not the cheapest but you get what you pay for in constant temperature and quick heating times.Creates great tasting meat, tender throughout squash, or easy hollandaise! Highly recommend

This works very well. Very quiet. I was really surprised how fast this heats up the water. Water temp increases about 20° F every 5 minutes. I use my hotwater and meat thermometer to adjust temp from the sink to fill.. It's extremely accurate. It keeps the temperature within a tenth of a degree of the set temperature. Very happy with this purchase. Also purchased an Everie 12 qt container with a flip up lid and this fits perfectly.

I love my Anova. My last immersion cooker was loud. The Anova was easy to set up. Using it was intuitive. The first thing I cooked was a pork chop. The Anova was so quiet that the only way I was sure it was working was seeing the water movement.I would definitely recommend this item. It works well and is affordable.

The sous vide device works well: it quickly heats water and maintains the temperature. I like what it does for chicken and meat; my experiments with tuna steaks are disappointing; carrots have come out ok.However, this uses a LOT of energy. I have tried to insulate the cooking tub but I have an app that tracks energy use by the hour, and you can see the sous vide sucking it up. Five hours of energy to cook some chicken thighs -- is it worth it?Additionally, the app to control it requires an annual subscription fee. Because on an iPhone the subscription is for that user, other people in the home cannot log into the app if they want to use the sous vide, they must use my phone.
