Anova Sous Vide Appliance

[kb0nes]

Just saw a targeted ad on the Interwebs for this device. It actually looks pretty neat although it isn't very high power (800/900 watts). I'm really not sure why it needs an app and connectivity though. It has a circulation pump and temperature range from 77-210 Deg F. If it went a few degrees lower it would have made a great water bath heater for my darkroom years ago!

I did search the group on Sous Vide cooking and read the threads so I won't ask any opinions on the method here to reopen that can-o-worms... Cooks Country seemed to think highly of this device in their testing. I may buy one just because. Hopefully I can keep it straight from my stick blender!

Certainly seems bear friendly.

What!? I didn't weigh-in on the original thread? To each his own, but the sous vide method is not for me. I'd lose interest in whatever was cooking before it was half finished, LOL.

This makes me nervous--Low cook temps-may make breeding of harmful bacteria possible-and cooking in a plastic bag-don't want my food tainted with plastic polymers,thank you!Will just continue to cook the regular way!And what is the cooking times-this sounds like the cook times would be LONG-don't have the time!
