Thin sliced pot roast (2"W x 5"L x 1/2" thick)131F for 2 hours then seared in butter in 8" cast iron pan with shrimp in vacuum sealed bag last 30 minutes (butter, garlic and lime salt added). Tender and tasty. (original plan with meat was to grill or slice into fajitas)
I have a Nano... works great. I don't really care about the app.
Did you have a problem with the Anova?
I do, with the Nano version. App simply doesn't work in the wild. NBD. I use the top controls. Easy to set temp, don't bother with setting time. Difficult to get it started. Maybe that "button" start - stop spot is touchy. That is my main complaint. Close behind is the over sensitivity to water level. Won't start or will stop if it's a bit low or high. Hard to see blue light indicator in sunlight.
But it doesn't keep temp well. Honestly, it's more than accurate enough at +/- 2 degrees. Just spoiled by the 0.2 degree accuracy with the joule. And the broad range of water levels accepted.
But Joule requires WiFi. If you go with Anova, just get one of the better, more expensive ones. They don't cost too much.

Had a Nano when they first came out. Hated that the clamp did not adjust up and down to suit the height of pan or container. No idea if that has changed.
I have a Pro as well as a 3.0 for backup. Both work great. I never use the app, the controls on the top work fine.

BINGO! And I don't think they fixed that.
Works just enough to use, not so good you're not tempted to upgrade.
I have the Nano 2.0 , not the 3.0, but the 3.0 did not change the clamp.
I don't have any problem with maintaining temp, within 0.5 degrees F.
For a few steaks or chicken pieces, I use one of my Ninja Never Stick pots. I don't even bother covering it. For a larger piece like a brisket, I have used a 16 qt Sterilite Plastic tub. It does not have a lid, so I just covered the top with shrink wrap.
So far no issue with water level. It's been easy to shoot for something a bit lower than the max line. The app does work, but frankly it's easier to just use the top controls. If I have one small thing that could be better, it's a little bit noisey. Not terrible, but the larger units are quieter.

Anova has both the 3.0 and Pro on sale now if anyone is in the market for one.
And a sad Monday if you have to work…After enough Real Beer, it IS Happy Hour!
Post, had 2 in freezer with butter and spices for a couple months. (Vacuum sealed)
