While it takes a little longer, the Anova Precision Cooker can make any cut of beef, pork, chicken or fish exquisitely tender. Using a technique called sous vide, the Anova gently heats up whatever it is you're cooking in a water bath.
How do I set the timer on my Anova Precision Cooker?
- Hold down the play button for 6 second (the temperature will them switch from F to C or vice versa).
- Then, you will see a timer icon appear on the screen.
- Next, a series of zeros will appear on the screen.
- Set the time by scrolling the wheel up or down.
Directions
- Set the Anova Sous Vide Precision Cooker to 130ºF (54.4ºC).
- Generously season the steak with salt and pepper. Place in a medium zipper lock or vacuum seal bag. Seal the bag using the water immersion technique or a vacuum sealer on the dry setting.
- Place the bag in the water bath and set the timer for 2 hours.
No need to splurge on a vacuum sealer -- cheaper Ziploc bags and water work just fine. Food-safe zipper bags work great for sous vide.
EASY TO USE: Simply fill your Anova Precision Cooker Container with water, attach your sous vide circulator to the container, place or clip your sealed bag of food beneath the integrated wire rack, and you're ready to cook.
Preheat your water by setting the Anova to your desired temperature and hit the play button. It'll beep when it's ready. Sous vide cooking is made even easier with the Anova recipes app — simply choose your recipe, prepare your ingredients, and hit “connect†on the app.
When you're cooking sous vide, there is no need to worry about thawing meat first; you just grab it out of the freezer, pop it in the pot of heated water, and prepare for delicious results.
Sous vide manufacturer ChefSteps recommends using food-grade vacuum sealing bags because they're BPA-free and made of polyethylene (we like the ones made by FoodSaver). These bags need to be sealed with a vacuum-sealing system, which FoodSaver also makes.
Temperature Range: 210°F / 99°C maximum temperature; 32°F / 0°C minimum; 0.1° variance.

Precision cooking involves heating the entire food to an exact temperature – for example, cooking a steak to exactly "medium" (131℉). Once heated, the food is often finished with a sear, adding a pleasing texture to the surface without increasing the core temperature.
The words sous vide literally means "under vacuum" in French, where "sous" translates to "under" and "vide" translates to "vacuum". The correct pronunciation of sous vide is Soo-veed.
Sure, the sous vide is all about cooking food in the vacuum bag, but it's still loaded into the container. So, if the heating element isn't working or has malfunctioned, it will not heat up. If the heating rods are slightly warm, it means that the heating element is defective.

- Press the power button for more than 3 seconds; the screen is on and the Current Temperature (in the middle) is flashing.
