Anova Culinary AN500-US00 Sous Vide Precision Cooker (WiFi), 1000 Watts | Anova App Included, Black and Silver

I bought this unit in USA and with great difficulty managed to find one with a 220V plug. I find it is simply wonderful. I cook Indian dishes too. The meat is prepared in the Sous Vide (SV) method and added to the prepared curry/masalas and finished with a short burst of high heat. If stirred too often the meat will get shredded. Shrimp & fish come out very succulent and not rubbery like when it is pan fried. Tandoori style marinated meats are simply wonderful. Marinate in tandoori masala and SV it. Finish of in a pan fry or place in oven with the marinade at high heat. Don’t overcook. 👍👍👍

Please arrange a return or repair. The product is not working.

this does not work in india.. it needs 120 volts input.. we need to buy a step down inverter to make this happen :(

Broke on the first use. Tried to contact Amazon as well as supplier for help.they refuse to take accountability and replace the item.Do not buy any product from this supplier

The machine doesn’t work ! Strangely this was ordered on 3d April 2024 , it was delivered on 27th April 2024 .. THE RETURN WINDOW SHUT ON 26th APRIL , ONE DAY BEFOR THE PRODUCT WAS DELIVERED !

such a piece of crap! Used it TWICE and it stopped turning on\.

Se ve de buena calidad, muy fácil de usar. La aplicación del celular hace que se configure muy facilmente y ayuda a preparar la carne en el punto deseado. Las veces que lo he usado ha llegado a la temperatura objetivo de manera relativamente rápida. El único detalle fue al configurarlo con la red wifi, tuve que acercarlo a un metro de mi router para que la detectará, pero una vez configurado se conecta a la red sin problema.

I’ve bought the cooker, 45 days ago and after 5 uses, it’s just stopped working. No reason, no life, do not even turn on. Completely dead. I’ve reached out to the seller and apparently I cannot return or exchange the item, as it been 45 days. Stay away from this seller! This is just the waste of your money. To be transparent, as a one off the seller offered me a repair fee of £35, which is marginal compared to the price and I’m not sure it’s even possible to repair.

Really nice thing to have to save time and make tasty food. Happy

Abbastanza deluso per il prodotto che ha una fascia di prezzò molto alto. In primo luogo ha la spina americana e non viene con un adattatore. Inoltre l’elettrodomestico è a 120v dunque facendolo lavorare a 220v come si trova in Italia porta ad un deterioramento rapido del prodotto. Istruzioni assenti e nemmeno un qr code per scaricare l’applicazione corretta. I gradi inoltre sono espressi in F invece che in C!

I bought this item to replace an Anova Nano that stopped holding the temperature reliably after about 4 years of very regular use. I suspected the issue was build up of minerals and such in the heating element, so I bumped up to this model since you can remove the skirt to clean the heating element properly. I also wanted a wifi connection just so I can monitor temp from another room. I compared to the Joule which is definitely slicker looking, supposedly a bit quieter, and a more impressive app. It also seemed quite fun to use Alexa to control it. What my choice came down to though was that the Joule requires the app - can't just set the temp and start cooking from the cooker. Sous vide is not complicated, just set the temp and walk away. I don't worry about setting a timer because part of the whole point of sous vide is not worrying about over cooking. So it seemed like I might have fun with the app for a bit, but then be frustrated that I had to pull my phone out or walk through multiple Alexa questions just to hit start. I've seen other reviews that complained about the wi-fi being unreliable or difficult to configure. Mine connected without any problem and seems to be working fine. Maybe Anova made some recent fixes? Not sure what else other people might have been experiencing. This one is a bit louder and bulkier than the Nano. The size really doesn't make any difference because you're just connecting it to the side of a container. I actually kind of like having a bit of sound from it, just to remind me that it's there. I typically have music going in the kitchen anyway, so I don't really hear it. For those who haven't tried sous vide yet, it's absolutely the best way to cook pork and beef. I've tried chicken, fish, vegetables, etc, but I don't see any different in results for those. The entire cooking challenge with beef and pork is getting them to the right temp and not overcooking - especially with a thick filet mignon or pork chop. Absolutely no guess work with the sous vide. Don't even need to brine your pork chop because it's going to cook slowly with the salt. I don't bother marinating my tri tip in advance because it's going to slow cook in the marinade. Where you will hear different opinions is the best way to brown the meat after roasting. I've tried various methods. Torch tends to dry out the meat and give it a bit of chemical flavor. Barbecue works great, but I have to heat up the entire thing and go outside. I used to use cast iron skillet, but it's so darn heavy. I now use a Ninja non-stick pan (absolutely love those things) with a healthy amount of butter on heat. While the meat is browning, I continuously scoop the melted butter up over it. Just a minute or two for absolute perfection.
