Review on πŸ”₯ EVERIE Sous Vide Container 12 Quart EVC-12: Anova Nano & Instant Pot Compatible with Collapsible Hinged Lid by Heidi Smith

Revainrating 3 out of 5

The hard lid is inconvenient to use; Silicone lid could be better

container appears to be of good quality, generally useful and reasonably priced. My complaint is this: if you bring the tub up to cooking temperature before putting food in it, as most recipes say, you usually have to take it off (now hot and humid). Lid, as the slope of the lid hinge does not allow enough room to insert products (and racks) 130-190 degrees. Water. To remove the lid you must remove the hot sous vide heater, which requires turning it off. So after adding food to the bath, you need to reset the lid and heater again and set the temperature and time again. I'm also planning to cut the lid: 1) so I can leave the portion around the heater intact to have enough space to load food, or 2) significantly enlarge the cutout so the lid can be removed without to remove the heater. For 1) I'll have to be careful not to damage the somewhat fragile lid and I'll probably need to reinforce the cut edges. 2) I would reduce the function of the lid by increasing heat loss and loosening the lid - I suspect the existing silicone lid could have been removed, left the heater in the bath and avoided the whole problem!

Pros
  • Foldable lid - hinge is close to the machine so you have plenty of room to check, add or remove ingredients at any time. Durable hinge tested for 100,000 uses. NO CLAMPS REQUIRED - The lid fits snugly onto the container and clamps sealed bags to keep them from floating in the tub, no additional clamps required.
Cons
  • Requires outlet
