I need to place this video here, to minimize my chances of losing it.
I miss Shawarma so, so much!

Finally going to by one of these. Is this a good model/deal? https://www.costco.ca/anova-sous-vid...100711107.html

Yes, but I'd just buy the cooker and use something different for the tank. Like a simple pot and then the converted cooler Rage & me have if you turn out to like using it a lot.

Is there something wrong with this tank? Is it just the size? I'm only cooking for two so I figured this would be the easiest.

Nothing wrong with it imo, just more money than necessary for a plastic bin.

I think that Costco deal is solid. If you aren’t sure if you’ll use this or not, I’d probably think about getting the cheaper anova and just using a pot.

Yea I just use a big stock pot personally. Not ideal for a super long cook or a big hunk of meat but does the job.

Maybe I'm reconsidering... It looks like Amazon has that Precision cooker for $229 so for the same price, you're getting a covered water bath for free.
*To say that water bath is $70 is ridiculous, though.
If rather save $40 on the cooker alone and then use a pot I already own.

Yeah I actually didn’t look at the anova site before, they want like $130 for that bucket/rack. This is a great deal compared to msrp haha.

Man those were the shit when I was 8. Right up until one Asian kid went to crossroads and picked up a bunch of metal parts which had the result of ruining everyone else’s tops as well as a few arenas.

What a guy.

I’m seeing this one online for $30 off. Anyone know if it’s $50 off in store or is it same price?

If anyone wants the best vac sealer, the Cabela's commercial ones are no joke. Get the wideboi if you want to seal a full brisket or other large items.

Thanks for the reminder Mr.Slowly, this Foodsaver is on sale at Costco.ca for $120.

well in case anyone else was curious, was just at Sunridge and looks like they don't carry this model in store. Maybe other locations do.

However it wasn't a complete waste of time for me because they have a promo where if you sign up for auto renew for your membership, you get a $25 voucher for an online purchase. So ended up stopping at the membership desk on my way out and signing up for auto-renew, and used the coupon to buy this online for a final price of $100ish

Costco online and in store very rarely have the same products, and almost never have the same prices.

The online model is a 5 series and the one in the store is a 3 series. I bought the in-store one last month and it works well. I suspect the one online is a higher end model for less money (after the discount) so it's probably the better way to go.

That looks like a solid option. I want to get it, but I also have a hard time buying (yet another) small appliance that I don't really need. Ziploc bags seem to do the trick.

I have something called a Cross Rib Roast that doesn't sound familiar to me, so I guess I've never bought that, before.
School me up!

Looks like Consumer Reports folks are saying 12hr at about 132°F. What should I toss in the bag?
Montreal steak spice? BBQ sauce? Wine? S&P? Lemons? Urine? Oil? Beer? Duck Fois Gras?

^maybe I should have started a mega poll.
After a comprehensive analysis of all the responses, I selected 8hr at 131°F with Montreal Steak Spice, a bit of Keg BBQ sauce and a few splashes of Lea & Perrins.

It was quite good, particularly for a very inexpensive roast.
Still a long way from "tender" but not so tough that little kids would complain.
