Anova Precision Cooker Pro vs. Joule

Become a smart chef with a smart Precision Cooker!

Sous Vide is a French cooking method that directly translates to “under vacuum’’ and it’s a type of method that utilizes precise temperature control to deliver consistent and restaurant-quality meals, straight from your kitchen to the table.

Your food such as vegetables, meat or fish is tightly packed in a vacuum-sealed bag which is then placed in a pot of water or container, with your precision cooker accurately monitoring the temperature that you’ve set prior.

The benefits of this type of cooking range from more enhanced flavors, healthier dishes, almost never overcooked if done correctly, and is ideal for bulk cooking!

Sansaire vs. Nomiku WiFi

Note: Nomiku is officially discontinued, so get the Sansaire insted.

Although immersion circulators were previously a tool reserved for chefs, recent advancements in technology have made them much more accessible to home chefs. Immersion circulators heat up a bath of water to a specific temperature and can keep it heated at an even heat. The consistent temperature leads to some quality cooked meats that are far more attainable and require less finesse than more traditional heating methods.

This style of cooking, sous vide, eliminates the possibility of overcooking or undercooking, and this combined with the ability to “set it and forget it” has led to a big boom in demand for immersion circulators. But which model should you go with?

This comparison takes a look at the Sansaire and Nomiku immersion circulators and tries to give you a sense of which cooker is right for your needs. Let’s get started!
