Anova Culinary Sous Vide Precision Cooker Nano 2.0

This is a great product that makes sous vide fool proof. Set your temp and your time, pop in your sealed food and walk away. 7 hours later I pulled out a perfectly med rare tritip and seared it on the barbeque. Melting tender and flavorful. Easy cleanup. Tucked away for next time. Same deal with a salmon filet. No over cooking anything again. Venison is always a challenge to make both tender and juicy rather than tough and dry. Sous vide made it easy. A leg roast at 131 degrees for 8 hours produced a roast as tender as any beef roast. The temp is even and reliable. I use it in a special sous vide container but its hanger would let me use it on any deep stock pot as well. It's a great product for cooking in hot weather too since temps are so low. It's also much safer around kids than hot ovens or boiling water. Let's you cook slowly overnight as well when summer temps drop. And you can control with your phone remotely. I love it.

(Edit: The complaint I had about the micro controller locking up (and locking to the last heater coil setting), hasn't happened again, and I've used it probably a couple dozen times since. So I've added back in more stars the rating.) Got this yesterday, and last night I picked up a tri point roast. Figured this would be a good cut of meat as a first test of this cooking method. The temp and time was easy enough to set, very intuitive touch interface. Put the roast in a bag with seasoning, and set time time for 5 hours, at 130 F. Checked on it periodically, and observed that it displayed the current temp, which floated between 129.9 and 131.1 (this is normal, the processor is constantly adjusting the heating coil power based on input temp). Well, later on I noticed the temp was right at 129.9 and never moved anymore. Went to check the timer on the unit, and the display didn't respond. The water was still circulating, however when I checked the water temp with a meat thermometer, it read just above 134 F. Unplugged and plugged back in the unit, and it confirmed water was now at 134. This was around the 5 hour mark, so I took it out, and sure enough the center of the meat was at 134, a bit higher than I wanted (was wanting to keep it at 130, slightly rarer, as the temp would come up a bit when flaming it on the grill to finish it off). So this loses points for the lockup and overheating issue. I'm assuming that the coil was last set to a temp a bit warmer than the desired water temp, because the uncooked meat is constantly absorbing heat from the water -- so to keep it at 130, i needs to initially have the coil set to something like 135 or 140. So it was probably about midway through the cooking cycle that the lockup happened, and when the meat temp finally equalized, the water came up to 134 and over-cooked the meat. The roast still came out OK, I just had to be a bit more careful when finishing it off on the grill. Still mostly pink in the middle, even cook, and really tender. I highly recommend this cooking method if you like your steaks to be close to restaurant quality. But I'm going to make sure I double-check the temp every half hour next time I use it.

This has been one of my favorite kitchen discoveries i have made in years. I have been curious about sous vide, but I had no idea how easy it was to do, how foolproof it is, and how delicious the food is. This cooker is super simple to use, it has an app but I don't find the app works too well, I have pairing issues with it, but the app really isn't necessary plug it in and set the temp and let it go.

So, we bought this one in 2019; and then a Greater Goods brand one a year later. We've used both of them maybe a few dozens times since? The Greater Goods brand was trash and broke down within 2 years, and arguably less usage than this one. However, the Anova still works great! We mostly use it for steaks. I don't really care about the Bluetooth feature, so I don't have much of an opinion on that aspect in general. I would recommend getting a sous vide container and a universal silicon lid to help with heat control. The temp has always been pretty accurate. And for the price, you really can't beat it! Bravo to Aveno. Shame on you Greater Goods, especially when you factor in that theirs is over a 100 bucks.

I’ve been using the Anova Culinary Sous Vide Precision Cooker Nano 2.0 for a few months now, and overall, it’s a great value for the price. The build quality is impressive—feels sturdy and well-made, especially considering how compact it is. For anyone looking to dip their toes into sous vide cooking without breaking the bank, this is a solid entry point. Where this device really shines is in low-temp precision. It holds temperature within ±0.1°F, which is perfect for cooking steaks medium-rare or pork around the 140°F range. The results are consistently tender and juicy, and it’s easy to set up and use. That said, there are a few drawbacks. The app integration feels underdeveloped, and Bluetooth connectivity can be spotty at times. I’ve had trouble maintaining a stable connection, which makes remote monitoring a bit unreliable. Also, it struggles with higher-temp cooks—corn on the cob and egg bites didn’t turn out quite right, likely due to slower heat-up times and limited power. If your main goal is precision cooking at lower temps, this device delivers. Just don’t expect seamless tech features or high-temp versatility. Still, for the price, it’s hard to beat, and mine has been going strong for almost 7 years now.

What a game-changer. Perfect steak every time and it’s so easy!

It worked like a champ!

Bought to process raw eggs to make them safe to eat uncooked. 135 degrees for 90 minutes. Yolks runny like raw eggs. Whites are now cloudy with specks. Delicious to make milkshakes thicker, richer, and healthier. Bluetooth connects with free app that doesn't do anything except read out current temperature, thermostat setting, and timer on phone. To access cookbook you have to pay for a subscription. Not worth it to me. I subscribed for one year, and information was more readily available and better directly from the Internet.

Easy to use and works amazingly

Chegou antes do prazo e está funcionando perfeitamente; por enquanto.

Used it several times and it makes meat come out juicy as it should. Works well and easy to use. On a personal note, next time I would have bought a wifi version versus the Bluetooth one for the range and convenience.

El producto es muy preciso en cuanto a temperaturas y tiempos de cocción, la carne queda en el punto deseado según la guía de la marca y no tiene ninguna dificultad para cocer en cantidad

Not suitable for use in the UK. Even after paying another £25 for a step-down transformer, it didn’t work reliably. Returned.
