Anova Precision Cooker 2.0
AN500-UK00, Wi-Fi immersion circulator
Editorial review Reviewed 29 October 2026 How we assess products
The Anova Precision Cooker 2.0 AN500-UK00 suits regular sous vide cooking when you want flexible mounting and help getting started. Its adjustable, removable clamp fits a suitable deep pan or container, while direct time and temperature controls let you cook without a phone. Optional Wi-Fi and basic app features add guidance; premium recipe content costs extra. It is a stronger all-round choice for learning and regular use than a stick chosen only for its wattage. Budget for cooking bags and a vessel as well as the cooker, and check minimum and maximum water marks before filling. The UK AN500 model is distinct from the Nano and Precision Cooker 3.0.
