Anova question

How can i set my anova sous vide to have the water ready in the morning if I set it up tonight? I want to wake up and drop the food in.

I’m sure there is some complicated procedure involving rocket igniters..,But I’m thinking fill your pot with hot tap water in the morning  and it should only take a few minutes to reach your target temp?

Or just start it up tonight.

I just thought it would be a neat feature to wake up to hot water so I can sous vide my stuff for lunch.

It's in the planning for Anova, now just pack in ice and do a remote start

I dont want to put the food in tonight, or the ice thing would work just fine

Hot water from the tap speeds up the warm up time.  Adding boiling water will also help.  Much simpler than trying to rewire the unit.  You can add the food even if the water temp is not completely up to temp.

As Nola said, let her run.

I think there is an ice bath option:

...but if my understanding is correct you don’t set a time for it to start. When the temperature rises above 40 the heater kicks on. 

I can can see why you might want a delayed start option. I agree with Nola that for now I would just let it run all night with nothing in it.

Start it the night before and cover the container with plastic wrap if you don't have a lid.

No harm in running the circulator overnight then dropping the food in when you wake up.

I decided to use the "fall asleep on the couch and start it in the morning" method
