FOR THE KITCHEN

Mom deserves much more than any typical kitchen appliance and fortunately Anova, the leading provider of sous vide devices, recently launched the Anova Precision Cooker, a WiFi-connected sous vide immersion circulator for home cooks.

With traditional cooking equipment like an oven or stovetop, it’s impossible to precisely control temperature. The oven can fluctuate up to 20º above or below the set temperature. As a result, it’s difficult and time consuming to consistently cook great food.
Sous Vide (pronounced “sue-veed”) is a cooking technique that enables precision temperature control. Used by professionals for decades, it works by circulating heated water in a pot, cooking food to the exact set temperature. There’s only a 3º difference between a rare and medium-rare steak, so precision means perfection.

This simple and approachable technique eliminates overcooked, dried out food and ensures edge-to-edge perfection every time you cook. The Anova Precision Cooker Nano makes it easy to achieve professional-level cooking results at home. To use, simply attach the cooker to any water-filled pot, put your food in a sealable bag, and set the time and temperature. The Anova Precision Cooker Nano heats and circulates the water to a precise temperature, cooking food to an exact temperature which creates maximum tenderness and moisture retention (without worry of overcooking). The Anova Precision Cooker Nano easily connects to your phone.

For years, Michelin star chefs have been using this method to create amazing dishes every day. This Mother’s Day, give the gift of precision sous vide cooking and help mom create top chef dishes with ease. With the Anova Precision Cooker, she doesn’t have to be a chef to cook like one. No complicated setup or additional tools needed. Follow the step-by-step recipes in the Anova Culinary app and make perfectly cooked meals with the touch of a button.
