Cambro for Anova
« Reply #-1 on: April 10, 2016, 01:32:01 AM »
This post is for Pappy. I cut a hole in my lid to accommodate my Anova with my Cambro container. So here goes...

First remove the bottom that covers the impeller...



Then you can use it as a guide for placing the marking where you want your Anova to mount...





Then drill some holes around the circle for the jigsaw blade to works it's magic...





Now use the jigsaw to cut out the circled area...



After I cut the circle I notched the back corner out so the Anova mount could just slip into the hole. I then added a screw for the mount to push against and support the Anova...











I just need to get some rubber trim edge seal installed although I wonder if it should not be completely air tight due to vapor. I don't want to blow the top off of the container. I should be able to do long cooks with big items without worrying about evaporation.

Nice Mike! Having a large cambro with a lid makes the long cooks a lot easier!

And if I remember right I think it was Gene who wrapped his container in insulated bubble wrap of some sort...

You are correct sir! (In my best Ed McMahon voice)
I picked up a roll of Reflectix at Home Depot and cut to size around the cambro but did not attach, it stores in cambro when not in use. I did cut and attach Reflectix to the lid tho. Works great sitting on 1" thick foil board cut to size of cambro footprint plus one inch. I think the insulation eases the work of the Anova on long cooks.

Here are the short ribs I used for my test...



So the short ribs were seasoned with this...



Into a heavy duty freezer bag and air removed with a straw...



50 hours later I pulled them out and let them rest in the fridge for about 1 hour to cool. Then I got the Cook-Air fired up with some hickory wood at DEFCON 5...



Getting some nice color and char...



After 5 minutes of high temp searing...



So tender I could pull apart with my fingers...



Plated with spinach salad...





So the short ribs were amazing. I already knew that they would be good. The goal of this was also to test out the Cambro. It worked really well and afterr 50 hours I noticed almost no water level drop. There was just a slight drop and I am talking very slight. The lid seals very tight. It looks like a rubber seal around the hole for the Anova might not be needed after all.

I want to try a rack of ribs next now that I have the room :P

Nicely done Mike!
It's always a treat when my Anova's beeper goes off! ;)

DAYUM!!

Mike, those short ribs look absolutely fantastic.  I haven't done any short ribs SV-style in a while.  I want to check my freezer and see if I have any.  If not, I will be buying some, soon.
