HOMENOTE Sous Vide Container 12 Quart with Lid & Rack and Sleeve - BPA Free Complete Sous Vide Accessories Kit with Cookbook For Anova and Most Sous Vide Cookers

The protective sleeve is also one of my favorites. However, because it had a chemical odor, I washed it twice. Now everything is in place. This container fits the Anova 1000 watts perfectly, but make sure to check the dimensions in the listing because some of the larger sous vide cookers will not fit. The rack can be adjusted to cook larger or smaller portions. To keep the bags from floating up, a metal bar is attached across the top. The rack is weighted down and does not float up. You won't need anything else because this is so good. Clips and weights aren't necessary, so don't waste your money on them. I bought a vacuum sealer and returned it because it was terrible and didn't properly remove the air. Now I use ziplocks. Place your food in the ziplock and partially close it before submerging it in water. The water pressure on the bag aids in sucking out any remaining air, after which you should completely seal the bag and secure the metal bar across the top. It's as simple as that. There will be no floating. Cooking can begin after the plastic lid is placed on the container. I squandered a significant amount of time looking into various products. This is an excellent setup. It's something I highly recommend! If you found this review to be useful in any way, please click the helpful button below. Thx.

THAT DOESN'T MAKE ME VERY HAPPY. Okay, so it's been a year/year and a half, and while I still adore the container (and the insulation and the lid), I'm not thrilled to see the rack rusting and literally disintegrating at the welds. (See photos)br>br>What irritates me the most about this is that I'm sure there are rust flecks floating around in the water, which are then absorbed by my immersion circulator. This isn't ideal. new br> br>br>I purchased this along with my first immersion cooking device (an Anova) at the same time. Since then, I've made everything from steaks (which took an hour and a half to prepare) to chicken and roast beef (which took 36 minutes to prepare). The lid and neoprene insulation keep the heat and water levels where I want them, even when cooking for long periods of time, as with chicken, turkey, pork chops, fish, and pork roast. I'm returning today to purchase a second sous vide setup for faster cooking times in the kitchen (for multi-course meals). We set up our old sous-chef station for the day cooks. Because of the low-cost, I decided to do it in an unused shower. After a few hours, the circulator's level buzzing becomes irritating, LOL! br>br>On a related note. prior to diving into the subterranean world, I was a sporadic and unenthusiastic cook who had given up trying to make restaurant-quality meat dishes. If you fall into this category, run, don't walk, to sous vide; the difference is incredible! We are extremely grateful to have discovered this cooking method prior to the outbreak - and months upon months of cooking at home! set in.

04- JAN- 2020br>After receiving my sous vide in November, I purchased this container right away. br>I've used it at least 25 times since then, and I'm very happy with it so far. I've used it for both short cycles (eggs for 23 minutes) and longer cooks (roast for 30 hours), and the neoprene jacket does an excellent job of insulating the container and preventing heat loss. br>The rack is fantastic because the partitions can be adjusted to fit the size of whatever I'm cooking and the number of steaks or whatever else is in the bath. br>Repeat the process.

Although I'm still waiting to hear back from the manufacturer in CHINA, this container does not appear to be BPA-free. The container's part number is GN1/2-. P1220. If you look it up on Google, you'll find that it's made in China. They make no mention of producing BPA-free products anywhere on their website. It says NSF, but the recycle code on the container I got is a 7, which means it's made of polycarbonate, which contains BPA. br>br>I liked the container and sleeve, but I wish it had been made without BPA.

It's a little on the expensive side. The sleeve has a slick feel to it. This was an excellent addition to my sous vide knowledge. There's a lot to like about it, because it's well-suited to sous vide cooking with my sous vide model, albeit a little pricey. The container is large enough to hold a smaller number of servings. It holds 4 servings of steaks or chops with ease. It might be difficult to feed eight people. The underwater holders can be serviced and customized. And the container isn't too big to be cumbersome. This is a positive development. It's effective because of its limitations. br>br>In addition, the top cutout anticipates my sous vide unit without needing to be modified. br>br>I like the neoprene sleeve concept because it insulates the water container, which should help maintain temperature more evenly at higher temperatures. On the plus side, it's fairly thick and acts as a good insulator. However, because the base is narrower than the top, it's a little awkward to put the sleeve on the container. In theory, it should be slipped on from the bottom up. But it's a tight fit, and it wants to fall back to the bottom at every turn. This is an awkward process because there are no straps or loops to grip. It is never completed satisfactorily. This sleeve's lack of attachment points to the container threatens to turn it into a never-ending battle. Let's see how things turn out. br>br>In most cases, the recipe books that come with kitchen appliances aren't worth keeping. However, I was pleasantly surprised to discover that the booklet included with these accessories contained a number of interesting recipes and ideas. br>br>Overall, this is something I would recommend. It accomplishes the objective. I'll wait until I've used it more to make a final judgment on how well and conveniently it works.

The sleeve alone makes this an excellent purchase because it retains a lot of the heat that would otherwise be lost, and I've noticed a difference in the doneness of the meat since I've been using it. The rack is in good condition. Inserting the racks is a pain, and there's some rust on it, as well as some popped-off holding bars. That is, in fact, my only criticism.

I'm using it with an Anova Nano. The warmer sleeve helps you save energy while also protecting your counter. The accessory rack is movable and can accommodate the container in a variety of configurations. Water level should be high, but not to the rim, when using the Nano. To speed up the warming process, I combine tap water with hot water from the microwave. 12 quarts is a medium-sized pot that can feed four people.
