I presume the Gourmia is like the Anova and will accommodate varying sizes of lips on pots. I use my water bath canner for big stuff, my biggest stockpot for others. I presume you have a good set of tongs; that's the only other thing you need.
You'll love it. I bet it's marvelous with venison, which as I recall has a tendency to be tough, particularly if Mr. Deer was older.
One tip -- when you're ready to cook, fill your container with HOT tap water. That way the SV circulator doesn't have to work so hard to bring it up to temp. My hot tap water is about 110-115, so no biggie to take it up to 125-130, where most of my stuff cooks.
Highly encourage you to try a pork loin, starting out. Lord, I love 'em.
