Cooking with the Anova Precision Oven: What did you make?

[TdeV]

I just made a "Spanish Rice" in the Instant Pot for dinner tomorrow, including some tomato sauce, frozen peas, and some peppers that I had dehydrated in the APO.

 

Tomorrow, how do I reheat in the APO so I don't end up with water at the bottom of the casserole? (temp, % steam, and time, please). TIA.

Just made some s.v. then caramelized apples in the APO (with photos). Very tasty.

Is anybody else’s app down? All of my favorite recipes are missing except for sous vide steak. I went to reheat pizza and I was shocked. I deleted and reloaded the app and the same problem.

Not recipes but I wanted to air fry something tonight and when I went to key it in on my app it wouldn't work or I keyed the settings in manually.

I have been having issues getting the app to connect to the oven but didn't have time to fiddle with the phone set up so I left it and set it manually but it bugs me to have the light on.

 

Last night when I was reheating something in the oven I heard my phone ding when it got to temp? I checked the phone and voila, it was connected so I was able to turn off the oven light while it was working.

 

I really like the app as I often put a frozen leftover in the oven on my way out to yoga class.  When I am done the class I turn on the oven through the app.  By the time I reach home, dinner is almost ready.   It is very diappointing to not have the app working.

Is it working now?  Mine wasn't last Wednesday but is now.

It seems to be working again.  Cooked a brisket for a couple using one of the recipes in the app and it was fine.  Of course, I had to get up through the night to check and make sure it was working ok as I wasn't sure the app hit and miss would mess it up, but it was successful.

I'm interested in doing a boeuf bourguignon in the APO. Any suggestions as to method, temp, and time?

 

Edited to add: I have 2.5 lbs of beef chuck roast.

Has anyone used their APO to ferment cured meats? Im 100% sure it would work great, im just not sure on the settings to achieve lets say, 85F and 85% RH. I can't seem to find info on RH with the APO, but my common sense tells me 85% on the steam function would be 85% RH, but where im not sure is what mode would work better for this is SV mode or oven mode? Anyone know what settings are better to achieve 85F and 85% RH?

For example, proof mode for proofing dough for bread making used oven mode with 10-100% on the steam function. 

 

I ordered a hygrometer to do some testing. It can handle 158F but im not sure its waterproof, so i will be starting at 10% steam to see what that means in RH, and go from there.

So to update my test on RH, the RH in my kitchen was 35%. I set the APO to oven mode with 40% steam. I gave it about 30 minutes and checked the hygrometer and its staying pretty steady at 80% RH. This is with nothing in the oven but the hygrometer. Im sure once i add meats to ferment, the RH is going to be much higher. Im not even sure if i will need to add steam.
