Thinking about picking one of these up LINK

Anyone here ever use this model (or similar). Does it work like it claims it does? Is it something that I'll buy, use two or 3 times, and then go back to my normal way of cooking?

the only thing i'd cook sous vide is a fat steak and i think the oven is decent enough at it to not completely buy new equipment

You can do it with Ziploc and an ice chest really easily.

I sous vide all the time. It's great for chicken, pork and steaks.

I use it for crawfish. Works well in conjunction with a Yeti and Tony's.

We use ours every time we do steaks. Need to try out some other meats as well.

Have the bluetooth Anova... use it a decent amount. Mostly steaks but also have done venison, chicken breasts, and pork loins.

I think the only thing I'm concerned about is dropping the hundred of so dollars and then it just becomes another gadget in a drawer that never gets used. Are the results good enough that you'd always make sure to use it when cooking steaks, etc.?

Uncle of mine owns a catering company in Nola. Great for preparing large amounts of steaks because it lets you not have to keep an eye on each one all the time

Also works really well for large gatherings... this past Christmas we had 12-15 or so family members over for Christmas dinner and I did four pork loins sous vide. It freed up the oven and the grill, plus I didn't have to worry about timing since they were going to be good whenever I was ready for them.

It does so much better than the oven. You also don't have to buy any equipment. Stock pot on the stove with a probe thermometer in the water. Use gallon freezer bags for the meat. It takes some babysitting to make sure the temperature doesn't rise/fall too much, but it works. I just bought an anova a month or so ago because it was on sale, but I used the method for 2 years and it was fine.
