And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.

Used one of these on a steak and a try-tip this weekend. Super success.
I've had two of these (this model and the Anova Pro) and they work well but can have an unfortunate side effect. Once they get up to temperature, they begin to cycle on/off quite rapidly causing the lights in the house to flicker. Even things that are on their own dedicated circuit (refrigerator) will have a problem. I had an electrician friend check out everything and he said there is no problem with wiring or supply. I gave the Anova Pro away and the person I gave it to is experiencing the same problem. I went on line and found that some other folks are having similar problems with sous vide circulators though perhaps not the Anova. Anyone have any possible solutions? Steve_in_Ottawa
Some people perceive the flicker easier than others. I was a field engineer for the local electric utility and seem to notice even a five percent voltage drop. The flicker either the Anova is mildly annoying, but worth it to me.
Set up a dedicated circuit and have an electrician double check that you have enough amperage coming in to the house. 1100 watts isn't really that much - I'm surprised that it would affect other systems. Not an electrical engineer, but maybe having a capacitor bank in the circuit would help buffer out the cycling?
So, that's for people who don't know how to properly grill a steak? Grilled several last weekend, great sear on outside, properly pink and juicy inside, took all of 5 minutes. I see no need for that fancy french-named device.
Another "I'm an expert, that's shit" comment. You are arrogant about your opinion, and not mentally willing or able to consider anything outside of that. Grow up.
They’re great. Being able to time the main course very precisely is really helpful when having folks over.
ReplyDeleteI need that recipe. Haven't been able to figure out how to sous vide venison steaks yet.
ReplyDeleteWell damn, never heard of it.
ReplyDeleteOh yeah! Just have to sear to get color when finished. Tastes great though. Turkey breast, too.
ReplyDeleteI use mine all the time. It cooks the food perfectly, every time.
ReplyDeleteI only throw them on the grill for a quick sear.

ReplyDeleteCorrect. There must be other things on the circuit to cause it to overload. Wrong gauge wire, too small breaker or outlet.
DeleteTri tip… tri as in three.
