Description

When I say this is the best sous vide machine I've ever owned — I mean it with every ounce of everyday use behind it.

The Anova Precision Cooker Pro isn’t a toy.
It’s a workhorse: built like a tank, performing like a world-class chef’s secret weapon, day after day, hour after hour.

Whether I’m cooking delicate yogurts, slow-braising lamb for 24 hours, or prepping crisp, juicy veggies for fermenting or freezing — this thing simply delivers perfect precision every single time.

Why I trust it:

  • 1200 watts of serious power — heats up huge volumes of water fast and accurately
  • Handles up to 100L of water (with a covered container)
  • Can run 10,000 hours straight without flinching
  • Drop-tested, waterproof (IPX7 rated), built with real stainless steel
  • Manual controls and a WiFi app (you don't have to depend on WiFi to cook)
  • Professional-grade results — at home

If you're tired of lightweight devices that feel fragile or need babysitting, and you're ready for a tool that works with you, not against you — this is it.

It's the kind of gear you build a real home kitchen around.


Technical Highlights:

  • 1200 Watts
  • Temperature Range: 32°F to 197°F
  • Capacity: up to 100L water
  • Material: Stainless Steel + Heavy-Duty Components
  • WiFi App + Manual Controls
  • Item Dimensions: 2.4"D x 3.5"W x 13.8"H
  • Weight: 3 Pounds
  • IPX7 Waterproof Rated

I've used this cooker for long, demanding recipes — sometimes for days straight — and it's still running like new.
If you're serious about food, serious about microbiome health, or just serious about joy in the kitchen — it’s an investment you’ll be grateful you made.
