I have the sous vide from years ago when they first introduced the wifi model and it's great. Used a lot in the summer and still no issues. Great for BBQs and making "nicer" meals for family and friends. This is a really cool tool in the kitchen but not sure I'm at the $500 "gadget" level of home cook yet.
You can buy similar devices for $1300 minimum. LOL

Here's the only consumer combi oven available currently at $1300 starting:

next up, we're talking thousands and thousands of dollars for commercial.

I think a lot of people are missing the sous vide aspect of this oven and think the steam is just there for moisture or something like a gimmick. Wish I had the budget for this, but I'll keep using the water bath until I do

Steam oven is a little gimmicky, I fell for it with the $400 Sharp at half price. Made for a really expensive toaster oven at 200 bucks. The steam is nice I guess, hardly notice it.
I got that same $200 sharp deal. It let me control temp, but not humitity. I got it because it was the closest thing to a home combi oven I could find. Combi ovens (till recently) only sold commercially and costed many thousands of dollars.

Here is the Sharp Superheating Steam Oven at it's $400(do not buy it, buy the Anova)
https://www.amazon.com/Sharp-SSC0...0080&psc=1

Even though the sharp version does not let you control humitity, it lets me do many things most home cooks don't do. For instance, can put two eggs in it, set it to warm setting, at 200F for 10 min. The internal egg temp will go from cold 35-40F to about 90F. When I crack the eggs open they are already hotter then room temperature. Then when I make a fried egg, or scrambled eggs, they come out much better, are easier to manage how I want, and takes much less time in the pan. Or can get some frozen dim sum from costco. Put them on a mess pan, with a mesh silicone sheet on top and make perfect steamed dim sum from frozen, with pretty much zero cleanup (silicone mesh). Or put a sweet potato in, set to warm, 250F and let it go for an hour. Then roast in regular oven as normal for shorter time, till done. The enzymes activate at about 170F. They turn the sweet potatoes starch in to sugar. The enzyme deactivates at a higher temperature. So having the sweet potato pass slowly through that temp zone in a steam oven makes the sweet potato taste sweet as a sweet potato pie without adding the sugar. Just cooking slices of sourdough bread in the sharp makes toast taste restaurant quality.

Again, don't get the sharp, get this Anova combi.

On paper this Anova (I have not actually used it yet) is an absolute game changer for anyone that understands food science and food temperatures.

Deep fried, but cat fur holds far too much batter so first shave the cat with an electric razor using a #6.

This is a great alternative for small commercial lab ovens... not just for home cooking
I'm wondering about using it for SMD parts Smilie RH should be controlled for that purpose, but converted toaster ovens dont do that.

Tempting. Buy now or wait for Black Friday?

Honestly - how much more can it dip between now and Black Friday? With chip shortage and all that - is this really likely to dip? How easy is it to get a 15% coupon?
If you want to go full commando, you could buy this now and keep it boxed until black friday is over. If there's a better deal on black friday buy again, and return first one, unopened, with receipt. No harm to companies that way. Just because I'm 'getting mine' doesn't mean I have to be an a-hole to companies and open it. Also, makes returns easy with no bad surprises.


I'm kinda doubting it will come in less on back friday if offered at all. It could happen, but my spidey sense tells me it wont. I've noticed all of november is the real black friday. Last year I got 80% of my great deals throughout november, and on black friday, maybe 1-2 things only.

It's probably great for SMD, but I wouldn't get in the filthy habit of doing that then using it for food back and forth. Components have a lot of heavy metals and weird stuff. As a lab thing only, I bet it would be.

Overkill at the least. If it's a couple slices at a time I'm very happy with my panasonic flashxpress, most evenly toasted bread I've ever had anyways

Is it just TVs, or did Sharp pretty much just sell the rights to its name to anyone?

I haven't considered a Sharp brand anything in years since I thought they didn't regulate any of the products with their name anymore.

Quote from PetSpy :
use a pressure cooker, and/or mist your food with water, or broiler pan
half fill the pan with water, food on the grill - you get the same results.

every few years they come out with some new cooking marketing gimmick
20 years ago it was infrared, 10 years ago it's air fry - both same thing, etc.

soon they'll come out with a remake of the george foreman grill
and market that as "cooking with gravity" LMAO
It's not a gimmick. Pls don't spread bad info based on your best guesses. Google 'combi oven' and read if you care about knowledge/truth/fact.

I'm dropping a few quick-search links to help people grasp how a combi works, and what you can make in it.

For those who want to invest a little time.

Bread:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=94uH2MQgIPI

Also, since you can adjust temp and humidity, you can proof dough near perfect and tweek for any specific dough recipe/hydration/etc.

Roasts (and chicken):
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oPmzu-favPk

Meats will have better yield (be nice and juicy, lose less juice, less dried out), nicer brown and crisp, and take less time to boot, all while using a notch lower temperature.

Vegggie: can tweak humidity/heat to get hella great steamed veggies, same for roasted.


The combi's im familiar with do not have to be preheated. I think they are all like that.

Not preheating means less time spent cooking, as well as shorter cooking times. better results. Don't stink up kitchen nearly as much as other electric or gas ovens. It just makes cooking well at home many times a week so much more doable if you understand the oven, and some basic cooking.

This oven is closer to the anti-thesis of all the cooking gimicks you have been subjected too. you just have to take the time to understand it, which isn't neccarily long, just has to be focused.

A poster said 'put pan of water in oven samething' or something close. laughable. Yes you can do that in a standard oven or toaster oven when making custards, cheesecake or whatever. Doesn't have much to do with a combi oven, yet a combi oven would be perfect for that too. Who wants to deal with putting a pan in a standard gas oven, and dealing with preheating and all of that, or puting a pan of water in an electric oven and having to be so careful. That's just limited to things like cheesecake.


I have no pony in your race. Just investing a little of my time for those who are interested in figuring out what this thing is.

You can essentially do sous vide in it without dealing with sous vide setup of filling containers with water, and dealing with vac bags, or getting all the air out of zip lock bags.

Can even do the little PITA things easier, like put hard cold butter in a dish, turn the temp to 160, humididty to (not sure what number), and come back and have melted butter, that looks like melted butter with solids still mixed, not solids seperated like too easy to do in microwave or pan.
