About this app

The Anova Precision® Oven is the first combi oven with pro-level features designed specifically for the home cook. Paired with the Anova Oven app, you’ll enjoy a fully connected cooking experience and the most advanced features of the Oven.

Break out of your everyday cooking routine with inspiration from the step-by-step recipes developed specifically for the Anova Precision Oven. With the connected app, you can start cooking with a single button press and the Wi-Fi enabled Oven will preheat to your recipe’s recommended settings. As your food cooks, you’ll be able to keep an eye on your timers and food probe readings remotely, and notifications will alert you when it’s time for the next hands-on step.

If you want to cook freestyle, you can create your own multi-stage cooking programs in the app. Define the oven settings for each stage of cooking and the transitions between stages to build stress-free, no-compromise recipes for all of your favorite foods. Your cook history is stored automatically so you can replay your past cooks, or share your recipes with the community.

Features:
- Explore our library of recipes created specifically for the Anova Precision Oven. These recipes span meals, cuisine types, and cooking techniques to educate and inspire you to create your own new dishes.
- Learn step-by step techniques by following along with clear photos and easy-to-read instructions from top recipe creators.
- Start cooking any recipe with a single tap. The cook settings are sent to your oven directly.
- Monitor your cook by watching real time temperature and timer readings. View the oven’s temperature and steam settings, and even monitor the core temperature of your food when using the included food probe.
- Go freestyle with manual cooking. You can start cooking from the app, or from the oven itself, without relying on specific recipes.
- Make adjustments on the fly. If dinner is ready but you’re not, add a holding stage to your cook so your food remains at its best.
- Create multi-stage recipes. Most foods have more that one cooking goal, like achieving juicy meat and crispy skin. Separate your cooking into multiple oven stages to optimize for each goal, like the pros do. With full control over oven functions and the ability to transition automatically based on timer or probe targets, true multi-stage, combi cooking is finally available for home cooks.
- View your cook history. It’s like having a DVR for your Oven — recipes and manual cooking sessions are automatically saved to your history, making it easy to revisit your favorites.

Ratings and reviews

This app is the bane of my existence. It's so slow. It's so buggy. Everything takes 27 taps to find, to get to, to clear, to redo because the old settings messed up the new settings, etc., etc.... Most of the time, i just want to set the oven manually, and the app flights me every step of the way. And anova wants to charge people money for this garbage? I'd 1000% prefer it if my oven just had reasonable manual controls, and I never had to look at this app ever again.

The app itself integrates well with the oven. It is great to see the recipe directly with the cooking stages. The main issue is with stability of the app. When cooking, the app will crash regularly; sometimes four or five times during a single cook. The oven generally seems to continue as planned, but it is very frustrating to have to restart so often.

The oven itself is great, and really useful with all of its different functions. However, I dislike that it is necessary to use an app to use the oven, and the app crashes A LOT. Like almost all the time. Also, alerts for ending of cook stages are way off. Not by seconds, but by entire minutes. It's amazing when it works, but it usually doesn't.
