The Anova is really a wonderful piece of kit. That steam function is remarkable.

I know the consensus opinion is that heat deflectors that come with the KK aren’t needed, and I’ve certainly found that to be the case already in just a few cooks that I’ve done on my new 32”. So, it begs the question… have any of you found any practical use for the heat deflectors? Trying to decide if I should store them away for the future, or go ahead and get rid of them. I’m not much of a packrat for stuff I’ll never use!

Took delivery of my 32” Big Bad earlier last week (which I have nicknamed “The Cookie’n Monster” after the blue Sesame Street character), got it up into its new home on my porch yesterday, and it’s being christened as we speak with a rack of St. Louis cut ribs. This is my first post, but I lurked here for a couple of years leading up to my purchase. This forum is a fantastic resource and I’m glad to be part of it. I’m mostly preaching to the choir, but for those folks who are still considering the purchase, it is everything people say it is and more. Truly the best of the best, and a purchase for my lifetime and beyond. TNSmoker
