So my brother is trying to talk me into getting an Anova ($600) precision oven. [Since he can't afford one but he knows I can. He actually grills/cooks at my house somewhat regularly.] This is the style of what restaurants have switched to instead of sous vide. The Anova is a home version. It has precision temperature control and you can set the humidity up to 100% for temperatures from room temperature up to boiling point.

So you could, for instance, set the oven at 135 and 100% humidity to "sous vide" a steak for 90 minutes without having to use a sous vide bag and immerse it in water.

It also works as a convection oven/air fryer/toaster, although unfortunately it does not have a built in microwave. (Although that seems to be common in units marketed in Asia.)

And then, at least according to the hype, it is supposed to be great for breads (makes for a better crust). And also for reheating foods because you can add/control hummidity at the higher temperatures and it doesn't dry out like it would in a conventional oven but for some foods will give better results than just microwaving.

So um, yeah.
