Once the purview of professional chefs, sous vide came to the home-kitchen masses in the form of immersion circulatorsāprecision appliances that keep water at the exact right temperature for poached eggs, duck legs confit, or really, anything else. And today only, two different models from Anova are more than 30% off at Amazon.
In our guide to the best sous vide cookers, we found Anova to be the best choice for experienced cooks. (Basically, youāll need to do some recipe research beyond Anovaās free app.) One model on sale is Bluetooth-enabled while the other connects to Wifi. Both are easy to use straight out of the box, and while the device connects to an app on your smartphone via Wifi or Bluetooth, you donāt have to use the app to control the immersion circulatorāit has its own control center and an easy-to-read temperature screen.
The difference between these two cookers is in how they connect to your phoneāwith Bluetooth you can control your sous vide from anywhere around the home, but with Wifi you can do it from anywhere that has internet. Since some sous vide recipes call for many hours of cook time, this makes the Wifi functionality a huge bonus. As long as your sous vide is set up where cats or kids canāt get to it. (Be safe!)
