If you aren't a professional chef, here's a little secret how you can be one at home. Anova Culinary has designed a foolproof device that will allow you to cook up restaurant quality dishes right from the comfort of your own kitchen.
“Sous vide cooking is designed for the home chef and we have made it approachable,” said Anova Culinary's CEO Stephen Svajian. “People used to think sous vide was for professional chefs only, but we came up with a unit with easy connectivity that is the key to sparking a mini revolution in the kitchen.”
We tested out the Precision Cooker model, which allows you to cook a restaurant quality meal right at home with the push of a button. All you need is a pot of water and the Anova device that secures to any size pot with an adjustable clamp. You set the time and temperature before placing your favorite food inside a plastic waterproof bag and immersing it in water.
Gone are the days of overcooking or undercooking dishes with this immersion circulator. Once the food is in the waterproof bag and placed into the water, simply add the Precision Cooker into the water by clamping it on the side. The device not only heats the water to precision temperatures, but it also continuously circulates the water around the food evenly dispersing it for an accurate cook time.
“We have made this device super approachable to people,” Svajian said. “It really is the best kept chef's secret, but we wanted the device to be used by everyone. There is no learning curve involved when using it. We created a device that makes it super simple to cook like a pro every day. It is beautifully designed, functional and was the first one to come out with a timer. The usability is amazing as you can set the temperature and time; not to mention the storability is easy as well. The stainless steel skirt makes it easy to clean as it comes apart in seconds so it's super low maintenance. One untold benefit of this model is that we save people money because they tend to not eat out as much once they have one because they can get the same quality dinner right in your own home. The biggest secret is how easy it is to use. Just put the food in a bag, clip it to a pot and it cooks in the background. It's amazingly convenient.”
Anova Culinary also recently announced the launch of its new Precision Cooker Wi-Fi system, a cloud-based cooking experience that allows anyone to receive professional quality results from the comfort of your own home kitchen. With Wi-Fi connectivity, you can start, monitor, and stop the cooking process if away from the kitchen. It doesn't get much easier than this.
