Had a few oppertunities to work with one at work, since my parents want to through a huge bbq for Christmas (don’t ask me why either) and I’ll inevitably end up doing most of the prep and working the grill, I thought I’d make it somewhat easier of myself and get a sous vide.

I’m willing to spend somewhere in the $100-150 range. There are just so many options out there that all seem to do the exact same thing.

Thought I’d ask you guys as to what you are using. So, what are you guys using and why?

    I have an Anova I use for sous vide but I also have an Instant Pot that has a sous vide function. Do you find the lack of circulation causes any hot/cold spots? Also is it very accurate since it can’t sense the water temp directly?

      Honestly, you’re in a much better position than I am to answer those questions, since you can directly compare the two machines. All I know about my Instant Pot is that I put stuff in and hit the sous vide function, and it seemed to turn out okay. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

        Lol fair enough. I’ll try to remember to get the IP out next time I need to sous vide and test it out.
