Anova Precision Cooker Container 12L

Very convenient not too largePerfect for home use

The minute I unwrapped this Anova container I knew I loved it. Pure brilliance. 12 quart size is a good size for my needs. After using my Anova Sous Vide in a regular Dutch oven or stockpot, I feel quite spoiled now. No going back. No complaints what so ever regarding this product.

After using an Anova micro sous vide cooker in a metal pot, I was concerned that I might scratch the non-stick surface. I have now used this container to cook a corned beef brisket (9 hours at 180 degrees) and a small pork roast (135 degrees for 2 hours). It handles the large brisket at the high temp (I wrapped the container in towels to reduce heat loss) and the smaller packages of meat at lower temps. The handles are nice, and the silicone cover fits great. I love it.

Works great and is the perfect size for 2 people.

1. I purchased the TRIROCK Collapsible Stainless Steel Sous Vide Rack which can be taken apart so it stores inside the Anova container.2. The Anova sous vide unit stores easily inside the container.3. Plastic for making sous vide bags fit inside container.4. When I reach for the container everything is in one easy to locate place.5. Container comes with a rack to stop food from floating above water line and a lid to stop evaporation. Very convenient.6. I'm over 70 and not very strong but the handles on each side of the container make it easy for me to lift even when full of meat and water. Very convenient.7. Anova container is pricey.8. Over all the Anova 12 qt container is a good grade plastic, with perfect capacity for my cooking and storage needs. I have used it at least a dozen times so I'm confident with my assessment. Recommended.

You don't technically *need* a container. You can use a pot, but this container sure makes life so much easier. This 12L container is also excellently designed with an included rack for clipping bags and a cover to preserve heat and reduce evaporation. We cooked a roast for 22 hours and had practically no evaporation. Cleanup is quick and easy, and I use the container and box to store the entire sous vide setup including the circulator.

SIL couldn’t wait to try out Sous Vide. He loves using this with the other sous vide equipment.

works with anova circulator and does a great job.
