spending money, kitchen edition

[topaz119]

Zipping in to say that if you've been toying with the idea of sous vide (but aren't sure you want yet another overpriced kitchen gadget), Amazon has the Anova for $99 today with code ANOVAONE. This is anywhere from $80-$100 off what's already the most reasonably priced immersion circulator (seriously, they can easily run $800-$1000.)

If you're squinting at your screen, saying words to the effect of omg, what is she babbling on about NOW?, I will point you to synecdochic's excellent primer on the subject and yes, this is the same brand she's talking about using.

eta: the Amazon offer is gone, but there's an offer for an upgraded model that's still good. See http://topaz119.dreamwidth.org/94654.html?thread=188862#cmt188862

I saw the same thing on deals.woot - someone also mentioned that "Anova Precision Cooker (newest) for 129.00 with code LUVDAD on their website".

Thanks for the extra code--the original offer is sold out but the code for the model you linked still works!

I just tried it and it said the code had expired /o\

but i used the website code and got the bluetooth one. since it's for the husband, i figure the more bells and whistles the better. (he of the roasting his own beans, wanna be slow cook dude :) Thanks!!!

Oh, good news on the second code! I'll update my post--I guess a lot of people got excited about that deal b/c it was supposed to run through 6/12!

Maybe I did something wrong, but Amazon gave me expired every way I tried. The $50 off at the actual site worked fine, however, so I'm really excited :)

[topaz119]

No, I double-checked & it's showing as sold-out on most of the deal-tracking sites. I'm glad I didn't wait!

Thanks for the tip!

Always happy to enable kitchen spending!

It seems pretty interesting and it's a good price for something that's super-pricey at the restaurant-level.
