Anova Precision Cooker - cook sous vide with your iPhone.

Skidder · 8 Dec 2020 at 14:26

Beef doesn't generally carry parasites and bacteria that can harm you whereas chicken for example does. Agreed on the outside and you would pre sear beef or sear it afterwards.

As such with beef it is a matter of cooking it to your taste. With say chicken there is a whole science around length of time at a certain temp to kill bacteria (instant at higher temp vs longer cook at lower temp and so on). It is predictable.

Got a cheap sous vide as something to play with. What a brilliant bit of kit. Did a 14hr topside for today at 54c - absolutely incredible. Also did chanteray carrots, sprouts and a celeriac & pear mash. Each was perfect, so tasty.

Has anyone got one of the newer Anova precision machines? I've just received one today as I wanted something smaller than my older Sansaire but the noise it makes is unbearable. I thought it was faulty at first, but appears this is 'normal' due to the smaller pump they've fitted in it.

Sounds like I've got a beehive in the kitchen...

Just picked one of the Anova Precisions up while discount and before jumping in I'm after a vacuum sealer, any recommendations? Been trawling amazon but there are so many and it's hard to tell what is actually reasonable, budget is up to about £80 max and I know in that range you can get the Anova one but wondering if it's worth going that far?

I think Aldi/Lidl have them in at the moment for about £20. I've got a cheap one and it's been fine for the 5/6 years I've had it

I've gone through a few over the years, I don't know why I seem to kill them in one way or another. So just end up spending 30wuid on an amazon one every few years.

I got this one a few months back and its been very good so far, nice to have the built in cutter.

Cheers for the advice both, I'll take a punt on a cheaper model and see how it goes then!

So has anyone cooked an entire chicken ? Was it worth the 6hr all the YouTube videos are telling me ?

We got ours from Lidl. Just get the proper bags and you`re winning.

When you relise you`ve quoted a year old post.

Sorry.

I'm interested in this too as my sealer is pretty much dead. I'm tempted to get a vacuum chamber as well.

If it wasn't for the fact I bought the Instant Pot Duo with built in sous vide I would have snapped one of them up at those prices.

I still use the app and that of the Joule for timings.
