How to Use Your Anova Immersion Circulator
One of the main advantages of sous vide cooking is that you can start cooking and not have to keep checking on your food the whole time. Unlike commercial sous vide units, the Anova is meant for easy home use. In fact, all you need other than the Anova is a container to hold enough water to submerge your food, and a device to vacuum seal the food for cooking. For sealing we recommend the Foodsaver. To operate your Anova, simply use the clamp screw to attach the unit to the side of a container and pour enough water into the container to adequately cover the food. The Anova has a maximum fill line to let you know where to stop filling. Plug in the Anova, and using the temperature wheel on the display screen, set the temperature you want. Press the set button and the Anova will begin circulating and heating the water. To change to a different temperature, simply use the wheel to change temperatures and press set again. It really is that easy.
