Anova Culinary ANTC01 Sous Vide Cooker Cooking container, Holds Up to 16L of Water, With Removable Lid and Rack

I wanted to cook a brisket successfully without drying it out, so I decided to sous vide it using a Kenji recipe on the Serious Eats website. I needed a large-capacity container to put my monster brisket in, so I bought this product. I just completed my 36-hour cook at 155F. The Anova container is a crystal-clear polycarbonate plastic, allowing me to inspect the brisket while it was cooking. The gasketed lid fits snugly on the container, preventing excessive water evaporation. It also comes with a metal rack I placed on top of the brisket to submerge it. I pulled out the brisket in my vacuum bag, chilled it in an ice bath, and was ready to finish it on the smoker. If you need a quality, high-capacity sous vide container, this robust product will do the job nicely for you! You won't be disappointed.

Does what it is supposed to do. Maybe it was a little larger than I was expecting, but otherwise fits the job well, and fit another circulator, not an Anova. That was a plus. It is at least sturdy enough to pick it up and move it when over half filled, but does not feel strong enough to be careless with that, twist or just be rough. The rack seems mostly useless. I was expecting to have it be close enough to the water to hold packages under water when they start releasing some air or gases during cooking and begin to float more. For this to be so, it seems the tub must be nearly full of water, likely higher than the max level mark on my circulator, so not very useful. I guess I might appreciate a variable height setting, maybe a reversible rack with two different height settings. I did try using the magnets available separately but they did not seem to work well with the rack as I had seen in some illustrations, so just used them as weights and I guess that was ok. I should mention that I live on, and use it on, a boat, so both size and water use are a concern, neither being unlimited. I would probably buy again for shore home use, but maybe just continue with my old large pot for shipboard use.

I have been using an Anova Sous Vide for over 10 years. While I was very hesitant to purchase this because I still actually believe that it is highly overpriced, I cannot say enough about how well it works. I just put short ribs in for 72 hours and never once had to add water and never once smelled anything. The lid has a seal around it that keeps all of the moisture recycling itself from the condensation on the top. It’s brilliant. The device fits perfectly inside of it. It feels like very heavy duty high-quality material. I still cannot believe I paid over $100 for this, but I’m really happy .

Started off with a pot and then another tub made for sous vide, but it was just not right for us. They were a bit cramp for certain foods, i.e. rack of ribs and amount we cook for. However, this tub has a nice length, height and size. But because of the volume of water it holds it can take a bit of time to reach target temperature. To get around this you can add hot water off the stove or that you microwaved to meet desired temperatures quicker. It also has a bottom lip that keep the tub elevated off the counter. This is important to us because the bath gets hot. It comes with a top rack attachment that can keep those floating packages submerged, just make sure the water is filled high enough to do so. Note: the top rack poles only runs parallel with the length of the tub, no crossing sections. Because of this, if you set your foods lengthwise, there is a chance it could still float between the rack poles and portions of your food will not be submerged. Suggestion: I put a cooling rack under the top rack to keep everything submerged. just make sure your cooling rack fits in the tub. In short an amazing buy and my recommendation to you all! Btw we have the Anova Nano.

Works as expected. Seals well to prevent evaporation.

This is a very large family sized vessel. The down side is that due to it's large capacity, the sides tend to bow out and that allows the rack, which is held in place by notches on the inside to widen and the rack falls out of place. This happens, even with the lid on. I have had to add clamps on the outside to stop this from happening. As a result, this is not too great of an option. It does allow for a lot of meat, and the water can circulate well.

This thing along with the sous vide cooker and vacuum sealer and roll of bag material (all purchased on amazon) have been a game changer. to dial in cooking to the degree requested for hours with no over cooking possible and the perfect temp, internal color and tenderness on an easily repeatable basis has been awesome.

This tub is very spacious, and with the use of pinch clips, I had on hand, you can position the items you are cooking to keep them off the sides and bottom, and from touching each other so the water can circulate easily. The actual ANOVA sous vide cooker is a POS. My 1st one froze up and quit responding to both the touch screen and the wifi connection. My 2nd one lost contact with the wifi mid cooking!

Perfecto. Después de más de un año usando olas, recipientes y film para evitar evaporación en cocción larga a baja temperatura opté por probar este recipiente. El resultado excelente. Se ajusta perfectamente a la máquina y no se evapora nada de agua. Muy recomendable

Als "er" angekommen ist war ich etwas Überrascht von dem großen Paket. Die Verarbeitung ist sehr gut, sehr stabil. Dabei war eine Abdeckung mit Gummidichtung sowie ein Gitter das auch sehr gut Verarbeitet ist und natürlich der Ausschnitt für den Garstab. Den Preis dafür ist zwar etwas hoch, aber dieser Behälter ist mit den 20 - 50 Euro Teile überhaupt nicht zu vergleichen. Bin sehr zufrieden.

Not just superb clientele but one amazing product!

Ho ricevuto come regalo a natale un rooner anova, cercavo qualcosa da utilizzare per cucinare e devo dire che questo contenitore e' fatto veramente bene, perfetto per i rooner anova, il coperchio dopo un po' perde di totale aderenza ma e' minima e quindi la temperatura si mantiene costante. Ottimo il fatto che e leggermente rialzato quindi non c'e un contatto diretto tra il contenitore caldo e la base dove si appoggio, l'unica cosa scomoda e la quantità di acqua che e' notevole anche se devi cucinare poche cose... in tal caso consiglio il coperchio di plastica della stessa marca che permette di cucinare in pentola

Previously I’d hesitate to use my Anova but not since having this gem. I’ve used it a good few times now, no issues, everything fits perfectly, no warping and condensate is a minimum. It’s no longer a hassle to setup and monitor and I find I am using it more as I no longer have to setup a saucepan and go through the ceremony of trying to make it all fit and ensure no gaps. Very glad I brought it, despite some reviews being mediocre.
