Make restaurant-quality steak at home with a sous vide cooker that’s $65 off right now
Recently, Cheapskate Rick made his own sous-vide for the first time at home and he was so overwhelmed by the experience that he couldn’t speak. I’m not exaggerating. I’ve been doing the sous-vide thing for a decade now and I know how wonderful a medium-rare steak tin with water immersion can be, which is perfectly seared in the end. I recently told you about an offer for the Anova Wi-Fi enabled sous vide computer that could save you $ 40 off the retail price, but I can do it even better now. You can get them until tomorrow Anova Prevision Cooker with Wi-Fi for $ 135 at Best Buy. That’s $ 65 less than the regular price of $ 200.
Sous vide is not difficult, but there is no practical way to build it yourself – you really need a sous vide machine because it can keep a pot of water at a precise temperature. But if you have one, it’s the easiest cooking experience you can imagine. Throw your steak into a plastic bag, drop it in a saucepan with water, and let the Anova control the temperature for an hour while the water circulates. And the timing is not critical. You can leave it on for two hours and the steak will still be fantastic. When it’s done, fry both sides of the steak in a pan or on the grill, and you’ll have a delicious $ 50 steak experience for $ 8.
CNET has not reviewed the Wi-Fi version of the precision cooker, but we have written extensively about the original precision cooker as well as various other Anova models. I can confirm that it is an excellent product that easily makes great steak (and chicken, fish and vegetables).
While we’re in the kitchen, I noticed another interesting deal this morning. Quality knives are always a hot commodity in every kitchen, and Best Buy currently offers a great set on a solid set. You can get one Schmidt Brothers Jet Black 7-piece knife block set for $ 100That’s $ 50 less than the regular price.
The knives are made of rustproof carbon steel and, thanks to the matt black titanium, modernly processed. They also have ergonomic handles with an index finger pad for easy use. The set includes a bread knife, a chef’s knife, a Santoku knife, a serrated knife, a utility knife and a vegetable knife, as well as the storage block. The set has a 4.7 star rating from customers who buy almost unanimously about its quality and value.
