Anova Precision Cooker 3.0

Nowhere in this listing does it state that this is a US voltage product. Very poor! Returning for a refund.

I am very impressed with the Anova Sous Vide Cooker 3.0. Meat comes out tender and juicy, especially chicken breast. I like that you can put meat in a vacuum sealed bag, then into a water bath and that's it, go about whatever else you want to do. When cooked, take it out of the water, and dry it off well with a paper towel. Give a quick sear on both sides and you are done. I have not installed the app. Personally I see no need to. The cooker is very easy to use. Fill up your container with water, attach the sous vide cooker, plug it in, press the temperature button, then the + or - button until you reach the desired temperature. Press the temp. button again to save setting. Next press the on button. Once it gets heated to the temperature you have chosen, put in your sealed bag, wait for the temperature to come back up, then set your timer, Press timer, then + or - button until you reach the desired time, then press the time button again to save your setting. Make sure the meat is completely under the water and not lying flat on the bottom. I bought the Everie Sous Vide 12 Qt. container with hinged lid, rack and container sleeve, which makes cooking even easier. I just set the bottom of the bag into the rack and drape the top of the bag over the edge of the container and close the lid. The lid holds the bag in place, and the rack keeps it from laying on the bottom of the container. If you are looking for a good sous vide cookbook, I recommend Sous Vide for Everyone by America's Test Kitchen. I bought 3 Sous Vide cookbooks, and this was much better than the others. The temperature charts are very helpful, and I think are more accurate and safer than in other cookbooks. You can also go online and find recipes on Anova's website, for free. I did buy a case to put my sous vide cooker in. The case is a sturdy case, but you have to take the clamp off the cooker and put it in a separate compartment. I have since seen cases that allow for the clamp to stay on the machine. My advice is to go with that stye case. I think it would be less wear and tear on the clamp screw. The screw is the only part of the machine that I worry about, the screw that tightens the clamp to the cooker. It doesn't appear to be very strong. They should have used a stainless-steel screw. Other than that, I am very happy with my sous vide cooker. I use it several times a week! I would recommend the Anova Sous Vide cooker. It's a very nice machine.

I love my sous vide! It works amazing and I use it all the time/

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.

This is my 5th machine I've bought. One for myself and 4 as gifts. They work great.
