New cooking methods ... sous vide

[Chief Pagan]

I have the Anova and like it a lot. I'm not familiar with the Joule, but the comment about the size seems a little odd. The Anova fits easily in a kitchen drawer.

I thought I remembered paying about $80 bucks for it and it looks like it is ~$150 now? Maybe I don't remember that well.

I just clip it to the side of a large round, metal pot. I rarely do anything longer than 5 hours or hotter than 155 so having a lid on top to slow evaporation isn't really a big deal. But I could see it being nice if you did do things longer.
