Anova Culinary, a subsidiary of Electrolux and a leading provider of sous vide devices with over 100 million sous vide cooks and provider of the best-selling sous vide tool of all time, has officially announced the official launch of Anova Precision® Oven 2.0.
According to certain reports, the stated device happens to be a connected combi oven which features a convection fan, steam injection, and an integrated temperature probe. It also packs together upgraded bottom heating elements, one-touch Cook Mode on the oven interface to streamline prep time, and the high-definition camera technology to present a precise and innovative countertop oven suitable for any home kitchen.
More on the same would reveal how the device can steam, air fry, dehydrate, broil, sous vide, proof, toast, roast, defrost, and bake.
Talk about the whole value proposition on a slightly deeper level, we begin from Anova Precision® Cooker Oven 2.0’s intelligence nature, supported by the proprietary Anova Intelligence solution. In essence, the oven can leverage this solution to instantly identify the food which is placed in, as well as suggest the best cooking methods for specific items. Furthermore, the stated feature can scan the back of frozen food bags or a full recipe to automatically choose the right cooking settings. In case that wasn’t enough, Anova is also set to scale up the given intelligence solution to prevent cooking mistakes by sending cooks cleaning reminders, optimizing cooking settings, and learning specific user preferences.
Next up, we must dig into how, with Anova Precision Oven 2.0, the cook options are seemingly limitless. The idea behind making that available stems from helping users cut down on kitchen clutter, and at the same time, explore new cooking methods at home. Markedly enough, the countertop wonder’s innovative technology also allows home cooks to unlock a variety of cooking options including bathless, bagless sous viding; steam-injected baking & roasting; bread & dough proofing; air frying for quick crisping; broiling for high-heat surface cooking; dehydrating fruits or meats; and more.
“We are thrilled to introduce the Precision Oven 2.0, an innovation that is truly more than an oven but an overall confidence boost in the kitchen,” said Stephen Svajian, CEO and co-founder of Anova Culinary. “Our Anova food nerd community knows that cooking can be, and should be, more than a task on a to-do list and that every meal is a chance to ignite creativity and explore new possibilities. With the technology behind the Anova Precision Oven 2.0, home cooks can achieve professional chef results right in their own kitchens.”
Another detail worth a mention here is rooted in how Anova Precision Oven 2.0 utilizes three temperature sensors, a sophisticated combination of PID (Proportional Integral Derivative) control loops, and a beefy onboard microprocessor to control heating. Owing to these factors, the device can maintain temperatures as tightly as +/- 0.5°F of the set point. To understand the significance of such a feature, we must take into account that most other countertop ovens use a single thermostat which only measures the air temperature in the oven cavity, allowing for variables of up to 25 degrees outside of the target temperature and potentially ruining a home cook’s entire dish.
Moving on, the technology in question even allows cooks to add steam or control the specific relative humidity inside the oven while things cook. This it does to generate the heat without a pot of water heating up on the stove. Such a capacity can even be expected to preserve the food’s moisture, all for the purpose of creating more tender and delicious meals.
Finally, our last piece of highlight is put forth by the oven’s app connectivity potential, something which can come in handy to help Anova users find recipes and learn new cooking tricks. You see, at launch, Anova offers sous vide and combi oven recipes via subscription service for the low cost of $1.99 per month or $9.99 annually. Not just that, this connectivity potential will also make it possible for cooks to check on their dishes live and monitor food remotely in real time.
