OGB.
Might be of interest to you.

Regardless of link, I am referring to the "RED EDITION" pages & price point currently, it is easier to link you to the non red pages for better spec info.

Take 20% off sitewide! Use code: SUMMERDEAL & the unit I use (but updated I think) is £112 + £4.49 delivery (£116.19)
For this..

https://anovaculinary.com/anova-precision-cooker/wifi/

Or the nano delivered for £76.19
https://anovaculinary.com/anova-precision-cooker/nano/

Nano is deemed "cooking for two" size, the other is the bog standard size.

So you would be adding it to your basket from this link...
https://anovaculinary.com/red/#compare-cookers

..& Adding the SUMMERDEAL discount in the checkout box.
Not quite the £56 I paid at Xmas on their deal, but with sterling price crash is that likely to happen again? ..no idea.
Like I said the app is a devil to hook up for me "here" to get the ".1" of a degree for a recipe, whereas the scroll wheel on the old unit increases / decreases by 0.5 ..no biggie, that said someone has had an explosive rant about it on the community board.

Very many thanks, order about to be placed as soon as I have consulted with the oracle on all things related to culinary matters . . .

No problem, there are cheaper out there, inkbird might be comparable, but above was the 1st to market, I can only comment on the "original unit" I have (mid range as it is now) ..I am cooking 1.2 kg of sausages to go in the pan for a browning finish.

If you don't have a Costco near you, I'll happily send you up a sample pack of 10 of the bacofoil sous-capable cliploc ..dm me if needed.

Nice work!

There is a tendency to collect a vast number of cooking pots, these are seldom actually needed. Take the opportunity to declutter your cupboards a bit!
Didn't get to the great clear out but we did make a Cullen skink and 12 person pasta sauce.

The way the induction set doesn't heat up the kitchen is just brilliant. Effortless way to cook.

The Cullen Skink, absolutely gorgeous. First time we have made it. Away up the coast for a stone of smoked haddock fillets tomorrow so we can have it all Winter long. :twisted:

You know you are sliding quite swiftly away from normal when you are OK with a cup of tea being a two stage process..

Water being preheated for spaghetti later.

Into the pan, high power induction.

Boiling in 15 secs. A feeling of pride. :lol:

No grid. :D

Sadly I'm profligate when it comes to tea and energy. I drink loads of the stuff, and am impatient, so hate waiting for water to boil. One thing that was an absolute essential; when building this house was to include a boiling water tap, a multiway tap, so the normal looking kitchen tap dispenses hot, cold, warm (mixed) or near-instant boiling water (and it's true boiling water, it comes out at 104°C, as it's kept under pressure to increase the boiling point).

Surprising thing is how little energy the boiling water tap uses. It is on a time switch, so initially heats in the morning at the cheap rate, then the PV generation is always enough to run the "keep hot" heater through the day. Great to be able to cook some veggies without needing anything else. Peas, for example, are fine with just a splash of boiling water from the tap and then left for five minutes to cook, with no other heat.

Very additive being able to make a mug of tea in seconds from deciding you'd quite like one. . .

+1 for boiling water tap!

Uses a teeny amount of electric, great not only for cups of tea, but when you;re boiling pasta (or whatever) the cooking time is not much longer than the bring-to-boil time, therefore food is ready much quicker.

Ours turns on at 6am well in my cheap period that ends 0630.
