I don't think I posted pictures of this when I got it so here's the new Anova WiFi+ Bluetooth Precision Cooker for cooking Sous Vide:
Here it is on the maiden voyage tonight as I used it to do a couple of pork chops...

Nice, I've been cooking Sous Vide for about 7 years now, built my first device myself which I still use every now and then. I also own 2 of the Sansaire units. I've cooked everything from full Prime ribs to corn on the cob in mine and love it. I actually set it up yesterday with a rack of ribs in it for tonights dinner. Once I pull the ribs out I'll pop some corn on the cob in. It makes the best corn you've ever tasted.

Nice! You should start a separate Sous Vide thread with some more details. I'm just starting out and am watching lots of YouTube and reading lots of forums. I have a buddy who has been doing it for years that is also guiding me. I'm getting a new vacuum sealer & cooking container as the metal pot isn't going to cut it long-term.

This container is what I use most of the time, I bought a lid for it and just cut the lid on my bandsaw to let the cooker stick out.; https://www.amazon.com/Cambro-12189C...eywords=cambro

You really always want to cover whatever container you are using, you lose a ton of water through evaporation.

For better braking, truck only produces 7" of vacuum. Also hoping it will help shifting while in drive on the TH400.

Good tip on the lid. My buddy that's been doing it for a bit suggested something like this right here and I was about ready to order it up sans lid but I think I will go ahead and pop for the lid and modify it for the cooker. I think for my current needs (one or two items per time) it will work well but if I start wanting to do larger cuts of meat or larger services I will look into something larger like the one you posted. To me, it just seems that to get the proper depth you would have to use an awful lot of water each time for a couple chops, steaks or some eggs or something. For $14 shipped I think this one will suit my needs to get me off on the right foot. Before I click 'confirm' in my cart I'm going down to the basement to look at the pile of coolers I have to see if something will work that I already own. I know I've got some larger ones but I want something closer to the size of what I posted so I will likely just end up ordering the one I posted.

I really hadn't thought that a lid was that big of a deal but now I'm seeing lots of folks running them and since it's so dry here I assume it would be even more of an issue. All that being said, how do you secure your food bags? In my first cook I just used a cloths pin to secure the bags to keep them from moving around the container but if you have a lid how do you secure them to keep them from drifting towards the circulation of the cooker?

After I find a solution for the container dilemma I need to decide if I'm going to use a vacuum sealer or not. Sounds like many or just rocking the seal under water method that I used for my first cook with plenty of success.

I vacuum seal all my bags so that sucks most of the air out, floating usually isn't an issue. The times when floating becomes an issue I usually toss a colander on top of the food and then put the lid on that.

I'll try to start a new thread for all of this stuff later so we don't hijack this one.

Not all is for me though.

So, the green tape is yours and the rest of the stuff is for someone else?
