Anova Precision Cooker Pro Quick Start Guide

GET STARTED

ADJUST the height of the clamp by loosening and tightening the side screw
ATTACH the device to a pot or other heat-safe container with the rear screw
FILL your container with water between the minimum and maximum line on the metal skirt
PLUG IN your Pro and place your sealed food in the water bath when you are ready to cook

ADJUSTING THE CLAMP

Tighten the screws with finger pressure only, so the clamp feels snug around the device and your container. Do not over-tighten the side or rear screws.

HEAT SAFETY

Keep your pot or container away from counter edges and place it on a heat-safe flat surface, such as a butcher block or trivet to protect countertops.

THE PERFECT FINISH

Cooking the perfect protein often involves getting a beautiful golden char from searing. For the best sear, we recommend removing your protein from the sous vide bath and sealed bag and allowing it to rest for a few minutes. Remove all surface moisture by dabbing with a paper towel.

You can sear with a barbecue grill, propane torch, or our favorite – a simple cast iron pan.

Make sure your cast iron pan is arriving at very high heat over a cooktop or flame, with a drizzle of oil with a high smoke point, such as avocado or virgin olive oil. Sear each side of the protein for 30 seconds. For even more savory flavor, you can baste the protein by spooning melted butter and herbs over the protein during the sear.

POWER & FLOW RATE

Anova Pro is powerful enough to cook in containers up to 60 Liters (15 Gallons) in volume. This is achieved with a 1200 Watt heater combined with a high-speed impeller and flow rate delivering 12 Liters per minute.

With this caliber of power and precision, you'll be amazed at what Pro can do. Whether cooking eggs in a shallow saucepan or serving a steak dinner for 20, you can be confident that anything you cook will be temperature controlled with perfect accuracy.

CARE

VINEGAR BATH

Build-up due to mineral deposits from tap water is normal. It can be white, brown, black, or green depending on your plumbing and water source.

Dilute equal parts water and white vinegar (5-7% acetic acid) in a small pot and attach your cooker. Set the temperature to 140º F (60º C) and press start. Allow the cooker to reach temperature, then turn it off allow the cooker to dry completely.

CLEANING INTERNAL COMPONENTS

Remove the clamp by loosening the side knob and sliding the clamp down.

Remove the skirt by grasping the stainless steel skirt, and gently twisting it clockwise to unlock it from the upper body. Then carefully pull the skirt downward off the device.

Wash the skirt with mild dish soap or place it in the dishwasher.

Use a tooth brush with mild dish soap to gently scrub the now exposed metal and plastic components. When cleaning the unit, do not bend or displace any of the exposed components.

Rinse with a damp cloth.

Reassemble by sliding the stainless steel skirt over the exposed components, aligning the dots on the skirt with the grooves in the upper housing. Gently twist the skirt counter-clockwise to lock it in place.

CLEANING THE DISPLAY

Gently wipe the display with a damp microfiber cloth. Dry gently with a dry microfiber cloth.
