Hello there!

Any recommendations for a sous vide thermoplongeur, like this one? It should be available in Europe, temperature from 30 - 60°C (90 - 140°F) and have a cooking time of up to 36h. Its main purpose will be yogurt making.

I have an Anova, and I like it, but I wouldn’t consider it BIFL. After a few years, the manual controls are getting dodgy and it’s getting difficult to use without the app, which they’ve started charging for:

But I think you’re spot on with your other general recommendations.

Sad to hear. I have the og version and it runs like a tank, the one with the big wheel. I never use the connectivity options

I can’t in good faith recommend a company that is hostile to their consumers, so fuck anova
