This this is awesome. Cooks all meats perfectly and makes even those with barely any cooking skills look like a pro.

This thing is fantastic! I've cooked a bunch of stuff with it already and it's far surpassed my expectations. Now, mind you, I've never had a problem cooking meats before. But this has seriously stepped up my meat game. Make sure to get a vacuum sealer as well. It gets annoying trying to do that manually and you might not get the expected cooking results if not enough of the meat surface area is being touched by hot water. Definitely would recommend.

It's easy to use and set up. I had a problem with setting it up to wifi because it could not find my wireless network for some reason. Overall I cook with this everyday and get great food. Recommend buying this when it's on sale, over price in my opinion.

Easy to use . Mistake proof cooking of anything.. Hope ore recipes hit the site.

Works great and have not had any problems. Easy to use. The quality is very good. I do recommend this product. It keeps the temperature steady when in use. My steaks have been delicious.

You won't believe how easy and foolproof it is to prepare absolutely perfect steaks, ribs, roasts, etc. sous vide. This unit simply heats water to a precisely set temperature and recirculates it through a small onboard pump. It comes with all kinds of techno-dweeb functions like Bluetooth and remote operation from your phone, but I never use any of that. I just set the temperature and the timer and come back when it's done. Contrary to what you've probably heard, you don't really need to vacuum seal the bags you cook in. Ziploc bags are fine, and can be reused. There are tons of YouTube channels devoted to sous vide, and one of my favorites is https://m.youtube.com/channel/UCpFuaxD-0PKLolFR3gWhrMw

Very easy to use, meat comes out perfect, worth the cost.

Easy to use for the most part. The app is pretty good, but has some flaws. My biggest complaints are how it's nearly impossible to set the cooking time without the app, how hard it is to get connected to WiFi in certain situations (it wasn't hard for me but I know many others with 5GHz networks that make it much more difficult than it needs to be) and the fact the the firmware cannot be updated. The last one is really the big one. The rate at which security vulnerabilities are discovered in these types of devices makes this a huge issue for me. I like that the shroud that covers the impeller, element and temp probes can be removed to aid in cleaning and drying. It's very quiet, heats quickly, maintains stable temperature and is quite close to my Thermapen's readings. I certainly do not regret the purchase and if you are thinking about getting into Sous Vide this is a great choice. I went with the WiFi mostly because I just despise how unreliable Bluetooth is. The added benefit is that I can monitor the device from anywhere. Is that required? No, but I like to have the ability.

This thing is amazing. The app and the setup with WiFi was not a great experience. But once I got it going and cooked my first burgers in the Sous Vide, wow. I’ve had it theee days and used it 3 times. Ribeye steaks the last 2 nights and I plan on using it 4 times this week. I had never used a water precision cooker before this one, and I can’t believe what I’ve been missing. The app is cool to use but I haven’t tried pre heating the water away from the home yet. So really it’s just setting temp and time on your phone instead of on the precision cooker itself. The cheaper models will most likely do the exact same thing except you can’t control them over WiFi. So if your now looking to spend a ton of money, you could get a cheaper model instead of this one. I’d recommend getting a food saver if you don’t have one. You could use the water displacement strategy if all you have is ziplock bags, but once you vacuum seal your food days ahead of time, you’ll never go back. You should also get a cast iron skillet to sear you food. I’ve done around 45 seconds in each side of the meat and it’s been perfectly cooked. Every time.

The best steak I ever cooked with the Anova. The meat was a perfect medium rare all the way to edge without drying out the edges. Once the steak is done to your taste just a quick flash fry in a skillet to caramelize the outside and done. Works just as good on any meat.working on veggies and other items and I experiment.

An innovative way to cook your food. The Anova cooker creates a controlled water bath to cook your food at the right temperature and duration. So far, I cooked ribeye steaks with it and followed the mobile app recipe and the steak came out tender and juicy. I plan to experiment with other food items.

I bought an Anova sous vide from Best Buy a couple weeks ago. I'm no chef, but I have been preparing award winning steaks ever since I started using this appliance. You simply set the temperature and the time, put the bagged food in the water bath, and let the Anova sous vide do the rest. The steaks simply will not over cook. When the time is up, sear in a cast iron skillet, let the steaks sit for five minutes, and enjoy. I have only cooked steak and shrimp so far, and both have turned out wonderful. Possibly the best steaks I have ever had, and definitely the best ones I have ever cooked.

Have a friend who has a similar cooker and he had such great results I had to have one. We're just beginning to experiment, but initial results are very delicious! Cooking might take a little longer but meat is so tender! Looking forward to experimenting more!

If you like to cook then this is for you! I have had it less than a week and already used it 3 times. Love the WiFi and Bluetooth, I can turn this on from work and when I get home my food is cooked to a precise temp all the way through. Clean up us easy and depending on what you are cooking you may use fewer cookware. I have not found any drawbacks yet, the app is simple and easy to use and even has recipes on it the you can start to cook with the push of a button from your phone!

I’ve cooked veggies, potatoes, pork, chicken, beef and fish with the anova sous vide all within the first two weeks of purchase - love it! There are a ton of recipes on the app - everything we’ve tried so far has been amazing - it’s IMPOSSIBLE to overcook a steak ever again if you choose the right temp - hit a button and walk away! It’s given me a lot more time to enjoy entertaining or time with my family while my food cooks instead of being stuck in the kitchen. App is sometimes a little glitchy but I’m sure it can only get better!

I've had this for about 3 weeks now- and it is, for me at least, now a permanent part of my repertoire. I was skeptical at first- but so far EVERYTHING I've thrown at it- brisket, ribs, steaks, burgers, eggs- has come out absolutely perfect. I initially was using a see-through container(with lid made for the anova) off amazon, but ended up building a 'frankencooler' (google it-anova gives a walkthrough- VERY easy to make) and it shocks me every time w how perfectly the food is cooked every single time. Do yourself a favor- buy a foodsaver/vacuum sealer. You can certainly get by with ziplocs, but to me, its worth the money for the vacuum sealer. Key is, no air in the bags, and keep them submerged (so you do not have partially cooked food). If you cant afford a special container, or a foodsaver here is a tip- buy a bag of ping pong balls... that's right- ping pong balls.. they'll sit on top of the bath and keep your food submerged. So if you can spend the money(frankencooler was probably 35 bucks for the cooler+rack+hole saw drill bit) get a food saver and build yourself a sous vide cooler- you'll love it. If you CANT afford to- get a very large pot, some ziplocs, a couple of clips(to clip the bag to the side of the pot) and a bag of ping pong balls. NOTE - if you're looking for a quick meal of 10-15 minutes, this ain't it. It needs time to cook it evenly via the water bath. Burgers are about 45 minutes(but you can let them cook for upwards of 3 hours and they'll come out just as amazing- another GREAT thing about this- its very, very forgiving time wise), ribs anywhere from 12-36hours, and so on. HIGHLY recommended.

The anova app is extremely easy to use and makes cooking a breeze. Look up a recipe on your phone, or just open a guide to see how long to cook something for and you’re all set. Setting up WiFi on it was a bit tricky but once it was connected never had to mess with it again. Would recommend to anybody that’s looking for an easy way to cook meals with no hassle or mess!!

After taking this home i tested it on soup, it worked great. My second use was to create a hot water bath for cheese, Also great. I can't wait for my next application for this product. use round pots, do not use hotel pans.

Do you enjoy a perfectly cooked steak? If the answer is yes then the Anova precision cooker is for you. All you need is a bag, a pot of water, and a cast-iron skillet and you can make the perfect steak Every. Single. Time. Not to sell it short, you can also cook perfectly tender chicken, pork, vegetables and even eggs with the Anova. If your thinking about splurging on one of these, DO IT!

Now that I’ve used this tool I’ve used it various times. The way the Anova cooks meat is awesome. The WiFi functionality is also great for keeping tabs from your phone.
