Cellar Made Sous Vide Lid for Anova Nano Cooker in a Stockpot Cooking Pot Instant Seal No More Cling Wrap (Orange)

I was nervous about ordering this because a lot of people wrote about receiving the incorrect product or one that didn't fit, but the one I received is perfect. My only complaint is that I wish it was a little larger in diameter to fit larger pots or square containers.

I bought this as an afterthought with the Anova cooker. I didn't use it at first and only realized it's importance when I attempted to slow cook ribs. I set the Anova to 24 hours to slow cook some pork ribs. I woke up in the morning and the Anova had stopped working and the water in the pot was half full. The water in the pot had evaporated during the long cook and the Anova shut down to protect itself from overheating. I attempted to slow cook ribs again and used the cover this time. There were no issues with evaporation- ribs came out perfect.

I didn't want to invest in some cooking gadget with Bluetooth and Internet connectivity I don't need at twice the price. I bought an $79 Instant Pot Accu Slim and love it. The Accu Slim is slightly smaller than the Nano so this lid fits with a small gap around the sous vide. The gap is nominal and the lid works great. It's easy to lift and check the cook. Easy to clean and retains heat and water which is why you need one. I use a Revere Ware 8 quart stock pot and it fits well.

I've used it a few times now. I had been using cellophane to help with evaporation during overnight cooks. This is a good substitute. I can't seem to get a tight seal around the base of my anova, so that knocks it down a star. Otherwise, it seems to do the job good enough.

This works really well with any large stock pot. However, there are 2 versions of the Nano - one that is all black (2018 version) and one that has a stainless steel cover (previous model). I currently have the previous Nano model with the stainless steel cover and the securing device offsets the distance from the edge, which does not create a perfect seal. However, the orange version is well suited for to reduce water evaporation, and the addition of the ridge support keeps the center from falling into the stock pot. I have a 10.5 inch diameter pot and it sits on top with no issues. I am still able to use the older Nano by not securing the Nano to the pot as the lid keeps it upright and snug on the side.

Just what I needed, Item was as described.Without my help me use my Anova sous vide product

Lid fits around nano perfectly and fit my stock pot. I used this lid with a t-towel folded over it for weight since I used a doubled ziplock (which was sticking out from under the lid). I cooked a roast 48 hours and never had to add water. Simple and great product !!

I bought this silicone lid to use instead of aluminum foil for my Sous Vide machine using my Instant Pot insert and also for a larger stock pot for cooking smaller foods that I didn't need my 4 gallon container for. It is perfect! Love it!
