Paired with the Anova Oven app, you’ll enjoy a fully connected cooking experience and the most advanced features of the Oven. Break out of your everyday cooking routine with inspiration from the step-by-step recipes developed specifically for the Anova Precision Oven. With the connected app, you can start cooking with a single button press and the Wi-Fi enabled Oven will preheat to your recipe’s recommended settings. As your food cooks, you’ll be able to keep an eye on your timers and food probe readings remotely, and notifications will alert you when it’s time for the next hands-on step. If you want to cook freestyle, you can create your own multi-stage cooking programs in the app. Define the oven settings for each stage of cooking and the transitions between stages to build stress-free, no-compromise recipes for all of your favorite foods.

If dinner is ready but you’re not, add a holding stage to your cook so your food remains at its best. - Create multi-stage recipes. Most foods have more that one cooking goal, like achieving juicy meat and crispy skin. Separate your cooking into multiple oven stages to optimize for each goal, like the pros do. With full control over oven functions and the ability to transition automatically based on timer or probe targets, true multi-stage, combi cooking is finally available for home cooks. - View your cook history. It’s like having a DVR for your Oven — recipes and manual cooking sessions are automatically saved to your history, making it easy to revisit your favorites.
My favorite piece of kitchen equipment!
I love love LOVE my Anova precision combi oven! I wish I’d discovered it sooner. There is a learning curve, but once I got the hang of it I use it all the time. I also love the many recipes with preset oven programs ready to go—it really helped when I first started. I do hope you continue to add recipes with presets! This oven is fabulous and I recommend it to all my friends who love cooking.
Great when it works, which is rarely
The Precision Oven used to be great. It just worked. Then Anova pushed an update to the oven and the app (one that I could not opt out of because Anova changed their cloud servers) and since, the app and oven are unreliable. The oven randomly disconnects from WiFi and I have to delete the oven from the app and spend 30 minutes re-pairing because pairing fails 70% of the time. And even when the device is paired, randomly the app on my phone doesn’t connect, but my iPad connects or vice versa. And the Anova support folks are slow and snarky.
Nice oven but a pain to clean
This is impossible for clean in a timely manner. There should be a cleaning cycle option
Life changing
Rarely write reviews. Know my way around a kitchen. I love the anova so much that I have two ovens. From moist banana bread, the best salmon, perfect steaks ready for cast iron searing, a side of easy vegetables, homemade yogurt, and the best sticky toffee pudding *ever* … there are no words. The app is great, updated frequently, there are fan groups on Reddit/FB if you need them. My only gripe is that I still haven’t figured out a way to descale it without a puddle but that is infrequent and this is still one of my favorite appliances. When we renovated our kitchen, we decided to forgo the large lux ovens because traditional ovens seem imminently outdated - a $10k Viking now looks like a vanity real estate signaling flex, even in a well-appointed kitchen. I think many pause on “What about Thanksgiving?” We did brined birds in the anova for the last two Thanksgivings we hosted - no problem. You would never guess that the next mini-wave of tech could be ovens but sincerely, the impact this oven has had on my life has been hands-down revolutionary.
Always disconnects, hard to use, limited to one
After having used a wolf steam oven, we bought two of these. While the ovens themselves are good, the app is awful. Most importantly, it regularly loses its connection to the oven. This sometimes requires a hard reset - reaching behind the oven to unplug it. Secondly, it needs some basic "recipes" - ways to do simple things, like "steam broccoli". Everything is a complex recipe (like "spicy steam roasted broccoli"). Lastly, you can only connect to one oven. So my wife and I each need to control one. Very inconvenient. Simple fixes would make this a fantastic app and product.
Bad interface
The oven is great. But controlling it requires your phone (the push buttons are not great) and the phone has to be on an antiquated network or the connectivity will repeatedly drop. The need a software upgrade in a bad way.
Best tool in my kitchen
I have been using this oven for two years now and I love it. It needed a repair and Anova stood behind it. I was without it for a while and I sorely missed it. I have become a great fan of temperature accurate cooking. Together with my other main axe - the Breville Polyscience degree accurate induction cooker - I can do sous vide like cooking without the plastic bags and water bath, accurate temperature deep fry, and make and hold butter sauces like hollandaise and buerre blanc without tge double boiler.
