The Anova sous vide cooker is must have for the accomplished foodie, or for the professional chef.

I don’t know how I’ve gotten along without this outstanding sous vide cooker all these years.

The precise cooking control achieved with the Anova cooker means no more overcooked, expensive cuts of meat. It’s as accomplished at preparing seafood of all types as it is in turning your tougher cuts of beef into tender, mouth watering meals.

Paired with a quality culinary torch, you can achieve the same results as an expertly BBQ’d steak, fish or chicken dish.

The Anova Precision Cooker will change the way you prepare gourmet meals, especially on those days when inclement weather, or the need to entertain your dinner guests, limits outdoor preparation.

The quality of this sous vide cooker will ensure that you have many years of culinary excellence ahead.

Poor instruction

The unit works very well and holds the temperature at the set point. It has builtin wife to work with your smart phone. The only problem I have with it is that I do not have a smart phone to set the timer. I had to order a plug in timer to shut the unit down. The timer I got only goes up to 24 hours. If I need to cook longer than 24 hours I have to set the timer the next day or hope that I don't forget to turn it off when the cooking time is up. The instructions that came with where of very little value.Read full review

99% will not have connection problems.

With the display controls if you have connection (wifi) problems you can use the app - get the temp/time info and key that info in. If you are the 1% like me you have to do network troubleshooting. I had to do the following:
1. Make router 2.4 ghz radio visible (not hidden).
2. Temporarily turn off 5 ghz radio.
3. Re-install smartphone app to clear out prior settings (clean the slate)
4. Set smartphone to 2.4 ghz not 5.0 ghz. (Anova works only with 2.4 ghz.)
5. Move anova and smartphone to the room where the router is.
6. Plug anova into power, press connect on the smartphone app and follow directions.

Now that I got it working - it's a beautiful thing - find recipe in app press button "cook this" and you are off.

If I wasn't a retired network engineer I would have had to call Anova to walk me through the above steps.

The key take away- do all the initial connection 6 feet away from your router. Also if you fail at a connection attempt - uninstall app and reinstall before trying a second (or third) time.

Nice product- app is fabulous.

Works great, easy to use.

I love the Anova. I still haven't been able to connect to the wifi feature but have been using the manual settings fine. The one thing it lacked was directions but that was easily found on the Anova website. Very happy with my purchase. Read full review

Great & easy.

First time attempting to cook meat via a "water bath" but I read so many positive reviews I had to try it. Amazing how moist and juice even a lower grade of meat like a london broil can turn out. Love the app feature with the Anova, input what you are cooking, the wellness you desire and it will do the rest for you.Read full review

Good Sous Vide Cooker

Product arrived on time and was as described. New in the original box. I have used it a few times and I really like how easy it is to use. The Anova app that comes with it provides lots of useful tips and recipes for getting started. I would recommend this product to anyone interested in getting started with sous vide cooking.Read full review

The best Sous Vide cooker on the market from a huge sous vide cooking fan

I have become quite a fan of and very good at cooking sous vide! I use it for many things! This is my second Anova of this model as sometimes I cook in bulk, and one just didn't do the trick. I tried an Inkbird though it was a disaster compared to the Anova.
For example, one of our favorites is lean chicken breasts. I will sometimes do 30 at a time. As they are vacuum sealed prior to cooking, I will freeze them and thaw as needed. And they do last a long time with no fear of freezer burn being vacuum sealed. Fish is great in sous vide. As are vegetables, eggs even various fruits.
Perhaps you know sous vide has been used commercially in restaurants for many years! It became prominent in restaurants in the 1970's to avoid waste though it was fairly recently the home sous vide cooker became available. The best part is set-it and forget it. You cannot overcook as it maintains proper temperature, though, to be fair there is a maximum time for the best results. Preparing a whole chicken can be from 6-8 hours. After about 10 hours the meat starts to break down though is still edible.
So yeah great product!

New with a broken face but useable

The product was actually new. But... there is always a but..the unit's face was cracked. A thank you note attached to the unit said thank you for purchasing the item as it saved it from being sent to the land fill. I agree and appreciate the idea. I just wish that information had been shared ahead of time. I put a line of Super Glue over the crack on the face and then added a screen protector to the top of that. I would expect the unit to last a long time now.Read full review

Anova 1000 watt AN500-US00 functionality

Bought a used/open box unit from a reputable seller at a great price. Works great but the Anova app is a little twitchy, not the sellers fault. Hopefully Anova will clean it up and make it completely stable, other than that I'm completely satisfied.Read full review
