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.
Id say this anova is far from gimmicky. previously steam ovens have been gimmicky in this price range, but they are industry standard in the upper price range (combi ovens). This anova has much more in common with the 5-20k combi oven market than it does with the toaster oven market. Its amazing for breads as others have mentioned, but also for eggs, bagless sous vide, roasts, and even re-heating/holding temps on food unti you are ready to serve. I dont have one yet but friends that do love it. As much of a game changer for them as sous vide was a few years ago.

We have a Breville and use it multiple times per day. I think my wife would really dig this, but the fact that it takes a phone to operate it kills it for us.

Questions for the people who have this oven:
  1. I can cook 6-8 steaks in my 18-quart sous vide container using a steak rack. How many racks does the oven come with? Have you tried cooking with multiple racks? Is it practical?
  2. I only see 2 accessories being sold for it by Anova: perforated pan and baking steel. How easy is it to buy pans, extra racks that fit into the grooves, etc.?
  3. Is it practical as a microwave replacement? How long does it take to reheat a bowl of soup from the fridge, for example?
  4. Can it truly replace a sous vide stick? One of the points of SV is that water is a better heat conductor than air. So, foods in a water bath pass the "danger zone" faster, which is good from a safety standpoint. But, for the same reason, it's not advisable to cook foods with a cavity (like whole chicken) in SV. Does this oven solve that problem?
  5. Can you program the oven to switch to a different mode automatically when the probe reaches a certain temp? Or do you have to monitor the probe temp and switch the modes yourself?
  6. I saw some articles on the Anova website about "sous vide express", which is cooking with a probe at a "slightly" higher temp to speed up the cooking process. Doesn't it negate the whole point of SV which is that the entire piece never goes above the set temp?
I appreciate your inputs!
can replace sous vide. its not water vs air, it's water vs steam. steam superior to water for sous vide style cooking

thermometer gets food past danger zone quickly, also saving cooking time. then finesses last stage of cooking with more gentle temp. beef proteins do start denaturing (texture change from blubber to textur you want) at about 110F. and thats a very early figure. So you can heat at higher temp than that till meat gets to at least that temp.

I wrote a great really long post, then my browser burped and I lost it.

I'll just leave you with that for now. might answer more later. might not

>>>>> If you're not familiar with what Combi ovens are, I have a tutorial here, because it's worth looking into: *****

https://www.reddit.com/r/producti...&context=3

I do macros:

https://www.reddit.com/r/bodyweig...?context=3

And use the Anova Precision Oven (APO) for meal-prep:

https://anovaculinary.com/kaido-m...sion-oven/

This isn't some random QVC "12-in-1" magic oven, this is a legitimate residential Combi countertop oven, and some of the features are even better than the $4,000+ in-wall residential Combi ovens! There are like 200+ actually GOOD recipes on their website as well:

https://oven.anovaculinary.com/

I've been using mine for a year now & I'm picking up a second one with the Black Friday sale. I do a TON of stuff with mine:

1. Sous-vide
2. Convection-bake
3. Steam-bake breads & proof dough
4. Make yogurt
5. Dehydrate jerky, plus leftover fruits, veggies, herbs, etc.
6. Reheat foods using steam (amazing, more on that in a minute)
7. Giant air-fryer (wings come out awesome!)
8. Toast in bulk
9. Grilled cheese in bulk (great for cooking for a family or roommates)
10. Easy omelets in a pie tin

Plus a ton of other stuff. Air-fried Uncrustables are pretty bomb:

https://www.reddit.com/r/CombiSte...ernutters/


>>>>> If you ARE familiar with sous-vide, here are the benefits *****

1 - no bath require. It uses steam to generate the same effect as sous-viding in a tub of water. I've compared this 1:1 personally

2 - no bags required. You can just stick stuff like meat on a tray, easy peasy. Although if you want to do a multi-day cook you should use a bag for food safety reasons (ex. like a 72-hour pulled pork)

3 - I do a lot of jarred foods in mini mason jars (egg bites, creme brulee, mini cheesecakes, etc.). You can just stick them in on a tray!

4 - You can do larger items like a full-sized cheesecake, you can use molds to make fun shapes out of eggs, using metal measuring cups to make easy sliders with ground beef, etc.

5 - No having to weigh down bags or get weights or magnets

6 - Looks "normal", not like a science experiment on your counter lol


>>>>> Additional notes *****

First - I would buy this oven solely for the reheating feature. Reheating with steam is GAME-CHANGE for leftovers! Microwaves make the middles frozen & the outsides rubbery; with the APO, it can reheat most foods 90 to 95% as good as the original meal. Just amazing!

Second - there were issues with the water tanks cracking over time from the steam heat. It looks like the updated version has a plastic shield on it to prevent that.

Third - there's a good subreddit here: https://www.reddit.com/r/CombiSteamOvenCooking/

You can just use the touchscreen controls on the front handlebar FYI. The phone just adds stuff like multiple stages, saved recipes, etc. & convenience features like a buzz when the timer is done.

I bought a Breville Smart Oven Air, then added the Anova Precision Oven. I'm replacing the BSOA with a second APO on this sale because I need MO POWA haha

Thank you! I would greatly appreciate it if you'd consider recreating your post. I'm sure it had a lot of valuable info we'd all find useful.

Comes with 2 wire racks & a pan. There are 5 slots. Unless I'm dehydrating, I usually do like 2 trays max for height & convenience. These aftermarket racks fit perfectly:

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00H94EPJ2/

I also have a thin steel GriddleGrate:

https://www.grillgrate.com/produc...ost-plate/

Baking Steels are available:

https://anovaculinary.com/product...ing-steel/

I use my microwave all the time so I can't really comment on it as a replacement. There's no like 60-second nuke function tho, as at minimum you have to preheat the oven. There are a bunch of people on the subreddit who have replaced their microwave, but I personally haven't as I use mine a ton haha.

Yes, it can fully replace a sous-vide stick. I've compared all of my standard recipes to it at this point (I've had my APO for 13 months so far).

SV Express works a little differently than that: the probe monitors core temp. The goal is to get the food up to temp evenly, so you can run it at a higher temp to speed up the process. It's a time-based thing, i.e. if you were to cook a 1" thick steak at like 131F, you could set the oven temp to 150F & cut the cooking time from 60 to 30 minutes, no guessing required because you've got the info from the probe because your food is bagless!

Yeah, the knee-jerk reaction is the biggest problem this oven has tbh. I've had mine for over a year. The pricetag is certainly eye-watering, but it's cheaper than a June or Brava oven & way better imo. The price drop helps.

It's hard not to compare it to a 12-in-1 QVC type of oven because it's a totally new animal thanks to the wet bulb technology:

https://anovaculinary.com/anova-p...vide-mode/

"Bagless, bathless sous-vide cooking" is what sold me on it. And steam-reheating of leftovers has made me fall in love with it haha!

Does it fit a small turkey/large duck?
A 10-pound bird is recommended:

https://oven.anovaculinary.com/re...ZvmNh23jBJ

Workflow is:

1. Dry brine (1 to 3 days ahead)
2. Cook (30-min-ish prep + 1.5 hours cooking)
3. Let rest 30 minutes after cooking

So basically just prep it ahead of time & then plan on 2.5 hours total for the bird. Comments say to add an extra hour if you do a larger 13-pound bird.

FWIW, I did turkey tenderloins last year & they came out PHENOMENAL! We're doing it again this year. Sooooo good! Did them Sous-vide then a cast-iron pan sear with spices.

How's this for toasting bread? Have been eyeing since release but wasn't able to find anything on basic functionality
Bit of a complicated question:

1. I have a Panasonic FlashXpress IR toaster & use that for toast (1 to 4 slices), plus bagels etc. because it pretty much instantly preheats & only takes 2 or 3 minutes to get as dark as I like it.

2. The APO can toast. But it takes way longer...preheat time plus cook time. So like 5 minute preheat maybe plus 8 minutes to toast.

3. The toast comes out like what I call "hotel toast". It doesn't really get brown, but it gets crispy. You can do crispy (0% humidity) or crispy-chewy (10% humidity...we really like this). They have a good article on it here:

https://oven.anovaculinary.com/re...odAM0yePQ8

4. It's really good for doing bulk toast, like for a family, because you can do a dozen slices easily on the two racks. Or more if you buy an extra rack haha. Also great for frozen Eggo waffles, they come out awesome!

Oh man... I didn't know someone finally made a home sized/priced Combi oven. Shit I don't have enough cash free right now to know this thing exists... I have been wanting a Combi oven for a decade now lol.
I pre-ordered one after I found out what they could do...I had worked around them in restaurants but had no idea you could do bagless/bathless sous-vide plus a ton of other stuff like dehydrating, proofing, yogurt-making, air-frying, etc. This is the most ridiculously awesome piece of kitchen gear I own lol. 100% worth it!
