Review on Anova Culinary Precision Vacuum Sealer Pro: Sous Vide and Food Storage Solution with Bag Roll – Black, Medium by Tony Cohen

I have had an Anova sous vide immersion heater for a number of years. I use it 3-4 times a month and I think it's great. I use ziplock freezer bags for cooking with a water displacement method to remove air. This works well for some things, but for long cook times and/or higher temperatures, you really need to use proper BPA-free 3-4 mil vacuum pack bags. So. I decided to buy a device not only for sous vide cooking, but also for storing food. ANOVA PRO was the logical choice. I like the design and the ease of use. It works very well for dry products in automatic mode. The impulse button is ideal for delicate foods such as bread and cakes. Where it's a bit lacking is the wet setting for anything wet. It sucks fluid into the mechanism that prevents all the air from being expelled and causes a huge mess in the machine. I'm not sure if this is an inherent design flaw in all of these home appliances, but I now understand why larger, more expensive commercial vacuum sealers use a different vacuum chamber design. When you call ANOVA customer service, you will receive audio with instructions to leave a message for a call back or email response.
