The Anova Kitchen is Open!

Nerdsssss! It’s HERE! The long awaited Anova Kitchen is open. We have some killer ideas planned for this new space and can’t wait to have you kick it here with us.

What is it?

The Anova Kitchen sits below the majestic Anova HQ at 667 Howard St in beautiful San Francisco, California. It’s an event space, a place to hold workshops, a space where you can chow down during some cooking classes while learning some pretty sweet recipes and ideas, get hands on product demos before they’re released to the public, snap some killer Insta photos,  buy some cool stuff  (have you heard of the Anova Precision Cooker? It’s dope) in the retail boutique, and a spot you can meet Team Anova. (more…)

Take Dad from Cooking Dud to Sous Vide Stud

As a new dad who loves food and cooking, it was difficult to get good food on the table every night after my son Jett was born. I received my first Anova Precision Cooker about four years ago as a gift and it’s safe to say it’s the best gift I’ve ever been given, you know, besides that sweet baby and my lovely wife Selena. There are also tons of fun things I can do with this cool new kitchen tool, beyond traditional meals you might expect. Grab that same gift for dad, and let him in on the secrets of sous vide. Extra credit: it’s on sale! Boom.. Extra credit: it’s on sale! Boom. (more…)

Sous Vide Fried Chicken with #anovafoodnerd Justin Borecky

Fried chicken. Everybody loves it, but not everybody is confident enough to make it at home. That’s where sous vide fried chicken comes in. With your Anova Precision Cooker, you don’t have to worry if the chicken is underdone…ever! It’s cooked to perfection every time. If you’ve got a party, you could even cook the chicken ahead, and just fry it for the party. Less stress is always best, so go get some birds, beers, and fry up a fried chicken feast!

Sous Vide Chinese Crispy Duck Breast from #anovafoodnerd Jeff Akin

When done right, roasted Peking duck is a thing of beauty: shiny, golden crispy skin and succulent, wonderfully fatty meat served with an array of thinly sliced vegetables and warm thin pancakes or steamed buns.

I recently endeavored to recreate at home, but the three-day process didn’t yield anything close to the beautiful bird served at my favorite local Chinese restaurant. Overall, it was fine, but certainly not worth three days of my time, especially when I can have it prepared perfectly at the restaurant in just 30 minutes.

The most disappointing part was the duck breast, which was woefully overcooked and chewy. This led me to wonder if the Anova Sous Vide Precision Cooker could help. My goal: perfectly cooked duck breast with crunchy skin and deep flavor, all in just a few hours.

Even when not cooking a whole duck, getting the duck breast correctly cooked throughout while crisping the skin to a crisp golden brown can be challenging. Of course, sous vide makes it virtually foolproof. (more…)
