Prefer deep fried turkey to ham. But a lot of the shit my family makes is pretty disappointing. I'll usually end up with prime rib, mash taters, and rolls. Brother is doing a tirducken this year which I'm confident will be a disaster.

The Precision model can be controlled via phone and app. You can choose the meat/recipe and the app will load the proper temp and time and start the device via bluetooth. It's cool, but not even remotely a 'selling feature' for me.

Yea if you're within Bluetooth range. I don't think it's useful at all. WiFi on the other hand should allow you to control it from anywhere and check on it while you're out if you're doing a long cook like with pork shoulder or something.

That's what I think, too. Why do you need to check on a sous vide cooker? What are you checking, actually?

doesn't the BT model offer easy customization? cuz you dl and connect w/ the app then you can like select an entire wealth of different, whatevers? I mean i don't personally see the need at all. Turkey is still frozenish, defrosting using the cold running water method.
would this be a good gift for a wife that likes to cook? I'm sure she doesn't have one despite having every cooking instrument imaginable (that i know of)

if you want great steaks, sure, and it'll be a new way of learning to cook for her.
don't forget to get this
Amazon.com | Cambro 12189CW135 4.75 Gallon Polycarbonate Food Storage Camwear Box: Lidded Home Storage Bins: Bowls
everyone here seems to use that w/ the anova, judging from your post you seem to maybe have a foodsaver
but this ziploc kit is so cheap it wouldn't hurt to also get it
Amazon.com: Ziploc Vacuum Starter Kit, 3-Quart Bags, 1-Pump: Health Personal Care
Pulled the trigger. I don't think we have a foodsaver either. Is that another recommended purchase or are the bags good enough to get by?
Every cooking instrument imaginable is really only a pan and a pizza cutter to me, i've realized, but she is a food snob for sure.

you might want to hold off on the foodsaver, there are many models and options, scroll up and check out the previous ones (it's only 1 page over). (she might have a preference, i know a lot of my friends have various different models)
The bags work well i use them 80% of the time cuz it's actually faster than going through the foodsaver process, you might want to buy a few extra bags of course.
and if you don't want to use the cambro, of course, just use a stockpot then, i'm sure she has a baller one.

Made fried rice today, i know, i know... i actually don't make it almost never. Phoned a friend for a recipe.
1. basic white rice prep 20mins
all 1 wok
2. fried 2 eggs, set it aside, proceeded to mash up eggs, don't clean wok
3. oils, onions and half bag of frozen veg, few mins, put in same bowl as eggs, don't clean wok
4. oils, meats, i did beef and pork, once browned, pour some soy on it, cover to thicken for 10mins.
5. work the white rice in w/ the savory meet, it should now have a thick coating of soy, then just dump it all in the bowl.
oh, i left out the sprinkles of sesame seeds.

That looks amazing Bisi...
I had salted beef tongue last weekend, it was really good. I was grossed out by the thought of it but tried it anyways. It makes me wonder how many Philly Cheese sandwiches that I've consumed that had beef tongue substitute in them.
