I have a joule and it works really well. I like the rack -- it keeps food in the water

Great! Easy to use and cleans up really well. Will use again.

Works well. This is good for a family. It might be too large for 2 people or a single person.

A simple stock pot does fine when cooking a couple of steaks, but this is very convenient when you are cooking for 5 -7 people.

Seems like a silly purchase at first, just wait until you use it! If you love your sous vide, you'll love this container.

Love it. Seals in the heat nicely and fits everything I wanna cook

Excellent. All the room you should ever need. Works well with the Anova.

Excellent product! It is a must have for a soup vide!

This Anova 12L Container is the perfect size and accompaniment to my recent Anova Sous Vide Cooker wand purchase. The container is the right size for immersion cooking up to 6 steaks using the sous vide method. It allows for moderate space between the steaks and each are cooked precisely to the desired doneness and temperature. This is a new method of cooking for me - having recently experienced it at a neighbor's home and being quite impressed with the correct doneness for me, since I usually like extremely rare. The texture is perfect, the steak's flavor is perfect, and the taste you achieve from the method is incredible. Pretty hard to ruin a great steak with this method, even though the "process" takes quite a bit longer than just throwing a "steak on the barbie"! The Anova Container is very strudy and comes with a well-fitting lid and meat rack for hanging your steaks from to ensure separation during cooking. I'm confident that the container will work very well with any sous vide immersion cooker.

This Anova Precision 12L Container is a quality product. Wow. I was really impressed. The container itself is made from heavy duty plastic, like you’d expect to find in high-end blenders. And the silicone lid, while flexible, kept a good seal. During the sous vide cooking process, when using my Anova appliance, the removable cooking rack really came in handy as it was much easier to ‘fasten’ the bags holding the food anywhere on the rack I chose, spacing them out to allow water and heat to flow better. For my needs, this 12L container, was just the right size. Because it’s clear, you can keep track of the cooking process, and it’s simply enjoyable to watch how the sous vide works. There are built-in handles on the ends of the container, which makes it so much easier to move after filling or when needing to dump the water out after using. The slightly raised base on the bottom of the container makes it so you don’t need to use trivets or worry so much about heat damaging the surface you set it on.

The Anova Precision 12L Container is a great addition to your sous vide cooking. The lid keeps the water from evaporating while the metal rack keeps your food underwater. With the smooth round edges, water flows easily and freely around the container giving the best possible cook. A simple, yet great, addition to your sous vide cooking.

This container is just that. But provides the expected and non-expected features. The container itself is a quality clear polycarbonate. With wide radius corners to promote water circulation. It is designed for any Sous vide and fit mine just fine! There are a few upgrades from the previous model 1. 100% silcone top - easy to take on/off 2. Rack has tips to prevent scratching and help secure. 3. container doesn't flex on the long side anymore - prevents rack from falling its a container for sous vide! Works well, many more features than a standard container you would just fill up. easy to see your products with the crystal clear material.

If you have a Sous Vide device this is a good container for your sous vide needs. I found it to be about right for my cooking. Not too large not too small. Able to handle what I need. The fact it has a metal rack to help keep things submerged is handy, esp. if you don't get all the air out, helps keep your food submerged. It has a nice top to help keep in moisture and fitted my older immersion heater with no issues. It cleans easy and fairly compact making it easy to store with all my sous vide equipment. Also I've used it to brine chickens and other things, so overall it has a great purpose in my kitchen. Am very happy with it.

Up until this point I've been using a similar, larger square tub. The Anova is much heavier plastic and has a thick silicon lid that fits more tightly than my other tub with the square lid. Anova claims that the oval shape keeps warm water from pooling in the corners, and they're right on the money. When the water starts to warm up you can see the warmer water current until it comes completely up to temperature. During this time the smooth circular motion of the hot water is apparent. More important, I notice that the temperature reading on my Anova cooker doesn't vary nearly as much as it does with the square container. The top rack is nice for separating your bags. I used some binder clips to keep the bags upright and separated. Anova says this container is best for 1-2 people, but I was able to get a huge London Broil inside with plenty of room for other stuff. I think you could probably get 3-4 reasonable sized steaks in there easily. One thing to keep in mind about the racks: The little silicone ends on the ends of the grills are not just packing material. I took them off and the rack was suddenly too small to fit and fell in. Apparently they need to be there for a proper fit. I'm concerned I'm going to lose them. If you have another brand cooker it may very well work with this container. The silicone lid has a flexible hole to put the cooker in that adjusts to different sizes. If you're used to using a generic container you will be surprised at how much of a difference using a container with rounded edges makes. Constant temperature is extremely important to Sous Vide, and you will definitely see a difference in the amount your cooker's temperature fluctuates.

The 12 liter Anova sous vide cooking container certainly makes things easier for cooking multiple items, especially when you consider the included rack. The only things missing from the included components are some clips to hang the packets of food the rack. We ended up using some small document clips and they worked great. As far as cooking efficiency goes, I think we all know that it’s hard to beat a circular pot for water circulation. But, Anova has done a great job by designing rounded corners to promote water flow. On top of that, having a container that is clear, which enables you to watch what’s going on, and one that’s rectangular, which makes it easy to store — and to store your sous vide gear in, is a welcome addition to this special cooking platform. We also appreciate the included lid to cut down on evaporation. I think you’ll find this a useful addition to your sous vide cookware.

This container is the perfect size if you want to cook a roast, a boston butt, a rack of ribs, half a brisket, or a medium sized pack of chicken breasts. I like the rack design that has a couple of bars a little lower so I can clip my food down lower and not have to fill up so much water. This is the perfect size for cooking food that is to large to go into a normal sized pot. It also nests pretty well inside my larger 16 liter Anova container so the combo fits inside my cabinet nice and tidy.

Simply put sou vide cooking is simpler than it sounds. It's just cooking things at a specific temperature for a long period of time in a special way. This Precision Container is the perfect accessory for the job. Just the way it's built is literally perfect. The design is flawless and allows sou vide cooking that tastes great. I personally tried it with steak for a few hours and I had 0 issues.

First let me say, if you’ve never cooked anything using the sous vide method, you need to! There’s nothing quite like it and it’s absolutely worth it. It’s kind of like using a slower cooker, set it and forget. Then you can add some finishing touches when it’s time to serve (like searing a sous vide steak right before you serve it). In addition to the actual sous vide cooker, I recommend two additional things to make it a smooth and simple experience: a vacuum sealer and this cooking container. A vacuum sealer is essential so that you get all of the air out of your bags so they don’t float and your food cooks evenly. This container makes the whole process all the more simple. One of my biggest challenges with sous vide has been having the right container to do it in. It’s hard to do it in a pot because they’re usually too deep and take a REALLY long time to get to the right temperature, and it’s harder maintain the constant temperature you need. If you’re going to use a plastic container, it has to be cooking grade or it won’t keep the heat in and could even start leaking. The Anova Precision Container is built to hold your cooker, so it stays in place. It’s cooking grade and not too deep, so it holds in the heat and doesn’t take all day just to heat up. It makes the overall sous vide cooking experience so much simpler and enjoyable and I cannot recommend it enough!

This is a great container for cooking sous vide. It is very well made, with high quality materials that I think will last a long time. In my use, it did a very good job of cooking my food nice and even. And the included cooking rack does it's job of keeping you food completely submerged. Overall just a great product that does exactly what it advertises, and does it well.

I've had a chance to use this container a few times now with my Anova cooker and each time it's done a wonderful job. The raised feet on the bottom keep the container from resting directly on the counter top, which while still leaving the counter warm, lessens your chance of messing anything on the counter up. The lid also has a built in lip so all the condensation drips back into the container and not on the counter top. About the only change I would make is with the included rack. It hangs from the top of the container from little grooves, but the wires are so high up that most clips don't like to sit nice under the cover unless you turn them 90 degrees. It's still workable, but you may want to look at a different insert that would sit on the bottom if you need to do a lot of standing bags in the unit.
