A big thank you to Anova for sending the new Anova Precision Vacuum Sealer Pro to help save all the things and get us all ready for sous vide this summer. All opinions are 100% ours and no form of monetary compensation was received.
Don’t mind me, I’m just going to be over here vacuum sealing all the things. I am adamantly opposed to throwing food away, and my new Anova Precision Vacuum Sealer Pro has made it so I never have to. Never again will have I have freezer burned meat or veggies, or have to toss an item whose package has accidentally opened in storage. Nope. With the Anova Precision Vacuum Sealer, those packages are going to be able to withstand whatever freezer life throws at them.
Do you hunt or fish? Then you definitely want an Anova vacuum sealer to keep your food protected in the freezer for long periods of time. Or, maybe you have a garden that produces too much for 5 months of the year and then nothing at all? If so, you are going to want an Anova vacuum sealer to keep those veggies fresh and ready-to-eat all year long.
Trust me, if it vacuum seals, you should do it.
And, with the Anova Precision Vacuum Sealer Pro a whole lot more vacuum seals than it ever used to. I remember the first time I used my old vacuum sealer to seal up a meal that had liquids in it. I’ll save you the trial and error and tell you that it was a colossal mess. Never again. But the Anova pro vacuum sealer was built with a low-pressure suction function and a reliable double sealer so it can even handle marinades and more.
This is especially nice because I intend to use the Anova Precision Vacuum Sealer Pro for all the sous vide meals. Doing marinades in a ziplock bag and then trying to get all the air out to sous vide was such a pain, and now I don’t have to struggle to get the air out again. From now on, I’m going to add whatever seasoning I want to the meat and veggies I’m cooking, vacuum seal it with the Anova vacuum sealer, and then sous vide it with the Anova Precision cooker. It’s like a match made in heaven.
Features of the Anova Precision Vacuum Sealer Pro
Sous Vide friendly
It’s true that you can make a 5-star in the comfort of your home using just your Anova Precision Cooker, a zip-seal bag, and a pot full of water. But, then you have to manually remove all air {which can be difficult with some meals}, use a clip to hold it to the side, check it frequently to make sure it’s not leaking, and make sure your food is fully submerged during the entire cooking process. Or, you could vacuum seal your meal, toss it in the water with the Anova Precision Cooker and call it done. No leaking, no mess, and no air. Beautiful.
Secret built-in bag storage and bag cutter
Don’t be fooled by its size – This little Anova Precision Vacuum Sealer is packed with good stuff. Specifically, it’s packed with a roll of storage bags {included for free!} and even has a place to keep the cord on the back of the unit, so it all stores away neatly. I currently have an entire bin for storing my old vacuum sealer, all the bags, the cord, and a pair of scissors, but now all of that stuff can store and hide away inside the Anova unit. Oh yes, it also has a built-in bag cutter, which means I don’t need to have a special vacuum sealer set of scissors to keep handy. It sounds like a small thing, but I assure you it’s anything but.
All of this built-in to the unit means the Anova won’t be stored away in a bin in the garage. Instead, it will live in a drawer where I can actually remember to use it and not have it seem like a project every time I pull it out.
Single handed operation
Have you ever vacuum sealed something messy before? If so, you know well about how 1 clean hand 1 messy hand works. I was *thrilled* when I found out the Anova vacuum sealer was able to be operated with one hand, so I wouldn’t have to wash my hands a million times while doing a big vacuum sealer project. Clamping bags, vacuuming, and sealing are all easily accomplished with a single hand, making this the easiest kitchen tool I own. Simply utilize your 1 clean hand for Anova operation and your other hand can stay messy until the project is complete.
Big project friendly
Speaking of big projects, I remember vividly the time I ordered 40lbs of chicken and planned on vacuum sealing it all. Unfortunately, my old unit couldn’t handle the task and I had to wait for it to be ready to seal over and over again. It took what should have been a 15 minute project and stretched it out to close to an hour. Anova solved that by making this vacuum sealer robust enough to handle over 100 continuous vacuum seals without stopping. So, bring on the big projects, the meal making Mondays, the veggie harvest, and bulk buying. I’m ready for you.
