I picked up a couple Cambro Polycarbonate containers with lids yesterday. An 8qt and 18qt. I got a 3" hole saw which did a fine job of cutting a hole after I remembered it need a starter bit. Obviously not my brightest moment when after cutting the hole I forgot to take into account the flange on the back takes up some space. So a 3 1/4" is the min size hole saw you want to get for the AnovaNow after all that I think the best place to place the unit is in the corner which maximizes the interior space. At least the lids were cheapThank you much, this was very helpful!

I purchased a polycarbonate container along with a lid for when I receive my new Anova circulator. My question is: Has anyone ever cut these lids to fit the Anova. Cost for a Polyscience cut lid for their unit was ridiculously expense. I figured for the $8.00 lid I bought, I'd try and cut myself. Hopefully won't be to difficult.

Hi All, Just thought I'd write a greeting and say I just ordered the Anova on the strength of this threads excellent information on the circulator. I just joined this forum and look forward to starting my education on sous vide. I am a competent home cook, but brand spanking new to sous vide. Thanks all for the information.
