THE PERFECT FINISH
Cooking the perfect protein often involves getting a beautiful golden char from searing. For the best sear, we recommend removing your protein from the sous vide bath and sealed bag and allowing it to rest for a few minutes. Remove all surface moisture by dabbing with a paper towel. Y
ou can sear with a barbecue grill, propane torch, or our favorite – a simple cast iron pan.Make sure your cast iron pan is arriving at very high heat over a cooktop or flame, with a drizzle of oil with a high smoke point, such as avocado or virgin olive oil. Sear each side of the protein for 30 seconds. For even more savory flavor, you can baste the protein by spooning melted butter and herbs over the protein during the sear.
POWER + FLOW RATE
Anova Pro is powerful enough to cook in containers up to 60 Liters (15 Gallons) in volume. This is achieved with a 1200 Watt heater combined with a high-speed impeller and flow rate delivering 12 Liters per minute.With this caliber of power and precision, you’ll be amazed at what Pro can do. Whether cooking eggs in a shallow saucepan or serving a steak dinner for 20, you can be confident that anything you cook will be temperature controlled with perfect accuracy.
