Anova has done it again, folks. It has made the kitchen feel and work like it is from the future, well, at least the oven part is anyways. Their new Anova Precision Oven 2.0 doesn’t just cook; it practically whispers, “I’ve got this” every time you hit the power button.
Imagine a countertop oven that knows what you’re cooking before you even decide – yes, this oven can scan food, figure out what you’re making, and auto-set the best settings. It’s like your kitchen just grew a culinary sidekick.
With the all-new Anova Intelligence feature, this oven boasts a built-in camera (yes, inside the oven!) that can ID your dish, suggest the right cooking methods, and adjust as needed.
Did you forget you left something in the oven? Anova will nudge you with a friendly reminder. And no more kitchen clutter: this oven can steam, roast, air fry, dehydrate, and even do bagless sous vide. Basically, it’s your sous chef with no paycheck needed.
The oven maintains temperature like a hawk thanks to triple sensors and a microprocessor, holding its heat to within a precise 0.5°F. Meanwhile, your old oven might be playing fast and loose with the temperature swing, dancing up to 25 degrees off-target and wreaking havoc on your soufflés.
And if you’re all about that steam, this oven’s got you covered, injecting controlled humidity so that your bread can rise to bakery standards.
For those who like to watch the magic happen, the app lets you monitor your meal remotely, just in case you’d rather finish that Netflix episode than hover in the kitchen. There’s a catch here, though.
The Anova Precision Oven 2.0 does not cost just US$1,199—if you want the whole experience i.e. access to Anova’s app recipes, it will cost you US$1.99 monthly or US$9.99 a year. That’s right, my friends, subscription has gone beyond entertainment like shows and games, and health monitoring, it has arrived in the kitchen too. I am afraid that at this rate, microtransactions are going to show up as well.
