The Wi-Fi enabled Anova Precision Oven will help you never overcook foods again

 

Do your foods suffer from timing problems? Many cooks, especially those just starting out in the kitchen, are shocked to discover that different ovens cook at different rates. The times given on recipes are guidelines based on the operation of your specific device. Anova aims to streamline the cooking process with the launch of the Anova Precision Oven, a combination convection-steam oven that gives precise control over temperatures and cook times.

One of the ways the Anova Precision Oven does this is through the use of steam. Boiling with steam stops the water content of the food from cooking away during its cook time, allowing flavor and nutrients to remain that might otherwise be lost. It also provides a “Sous Vide” mode that gives pinpoint cooking results without the need for a bag or water bath.

The Anova app allows for multistage cooking that allows for perfect results no matter what’s on the menu. You can cook crusty breads, juicy vegetables, and the ultimate chicken breast in one device (with different types of cook cycles, of course.) There are also other features to keep in mind, including three different temperature sensors to track the process of different foods. There is also a food probe that monitors the internal temperature of whatever you’re cooking.

The tank provides more than 24 hours of continuous steam on a single fill, but it can also be refilled during cooking. There’s no need to worry that your dish is ruined because you ran out of steam. The Anova Precision Oven app can guide you step-by-step through recipes and help you cook the perfect dish each and every time. You can control the oven right from the handle thanks to its integrated display. With its accompanying mobile app, you have convenient controls at your disposal. For example, you can start and stop the oven, set all the settings on the oven from temperature to timer, set the target probe temperature, and you can even send the cook stages from someone else’s recipe.

The Anova Precision Oven is available for preorder now directly through its website. If you’re a home cook struggling to take the next step in your culinary journey, the Anova Precision Oven might be just the tool you need to overcome the obstacles presented by a traditional oven. Learn the recipes and steps and stop worrying whether your oven reaches the proper temperature. After all, cooking is an art, but baking is a science—and in science, you need precision instruments.

Should you invest in a wet-dry vacuum? Everything to know before making a purchase
A person using a wet-dry vacuum

If your home is filled with tile, hardwood, or LVP, you’ve probably considered purchasing a wet-dry vacuum. These cool devices are built to streamline the entire floor cleaning process -- saving you time while also keeping your hands dry. With a wet-dry vacuum, gone are the days of dealing with dirty mops and soaking wet floors. Many models are also capable of self-cleaning, so you won’t have to worry about troublesome maintenance or the buildup of nasty odors.

But are wet-dry vacuums worth their hefty price tags? Even budget options can cost hundreds of dollars, while high-end models often soar above $500. By comparison, a premium mop and all your other supplies can be had for well under $50.

Samsung’s new ‘Lite’ cordless vacuum is as powerful as Dyson and has AI smarts
Samsung Bespoke AI Jet Lite

Samsung announced a number of new products during its World of Samsung event in Frankfurt in the middle of march, including new fridges where Bixby can open the doors, and the world's most powerful cordless vacuum. With the dust having settled on those launches however, the company has thrown another offering into the mix after announcing the Bespoke AI Jet Lite on its newsroom. 

Matching the same suction power as Dyson's flagship Gen5Detect, the Bespoke AI Jet Lite has 280W of power within its lightweight build thanks to Samsung's HexaJet Motor, which is the same motor the company also put in the top-of-the-range Bespoke AI Jet Ultra. The motor is said to rotate at 140,000rpm, which is in fact 5,000rpm more than Dyson's offering, though we're not going to count so we're taking Samsung's word for that.
