Yes. Anova’s Wi-Fi-enabled Precision Cooker models can be started, stopped, and monitored remotely through the Anova app. The Bluetooth-only model cannot support remote cooking because it lacks Wi-Fi hardware. You can also operate a compatible cooker manually without the app.

How remote cooking works with Anova

The cooker connects to your home Wi-Fi network, and the Anova app lets you control a compatible device when you are away. Anova Support describes Wi-Fi functionality as allowing you to “cook remotely meaning you can cook from anywhere!” The app can start, stop, and monitor compatible cookers, according to Anova Support.

Remote control depends on the model having Wi-Fi, the cooker being connected to a network, and your Anova account being signed in. Bluetooth alone does not provide an internet connection, so the Bluetooth model cannot be controlled remotely over Wi-Fi.

Connect an Anova cooker to Wi-Fi

  1. Install the Anova app and sign in to your Anova account. Anova requires an account to connect a cooker to Wi-Fi.
  2. Pair the cooker with the app over Bluetooth.
  3. In the app’s setup flow, select your Wi-Fi network and enter its password.
  4. Once the connection is established, use the app to start, stop, or monitor the cook remotely.

Anova’s setup instructions are available in its Wi-Fi and Bluetooth support article. Network compatibility is model-specific: the current Precision Cooker product page lists 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n.

Anova Culinary Sous Vide Precision Cooker 3.0 (WiFi), 1100 Watts, Stainless Steel
  • Pros have been doing it for years, and now you can too. Sous vide (pronounced sue-veed) is a cooking technique that utilizes highly precise temperature control in a circulating bath of water to deliver consistent, edge-to-edge perfect results, with virtually no risk of overcooking your food.
  • Our best-seller, only better. The first Anova Precision Cooker launched in 2014 and started a home-cooking revolution — bringing sous vide to the masses and making Anova a household name in the process. This third generation of our flagship sous vide circulator adds key improvements, making perfect results easier to achieve than ever before. What’s different: 1) We upgraded to use dual band WiFi for improved connectivity. 2) A two-line touch screen display allows you to quickly view time and temperature.
  • The adjustable clamp makes it an ideal fit on nearly any pot that is deep enough to meet the minimum water depth requirements. A removable stainless steel skirt on the cooker’s lower half makes it easy as a twist of the wrist to detach and clean the skirt either by hand or in the dishwasher.
  • Anova App (free): Control your time and temp directly on the Anova app or directly on the cooker itself.
  • Anova App (subscription): For $1.99 a month or $9.99 a year (cancel subscription at anytime), get access to the ultimate sous vide educational content and cooking guides. Recipes from professional chefs and the food nerd community feed directly to your Precision Cooker at the touch of a button. Continuous access to your personal recipes and cook history, ready to revisit or share with your friends and family. Two week free trial included.

Which Anova models support remote control?

Model Connectivity and app Manufacturer-listed specifications Warranty
Precision Cooker (current product page) Wi-Fi; iOS and Android app support 1000 watts; 8 liters per minute; Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n at 2.4 GHz Two years
Precision Cooker Pro Wi-Fi; Anova app can start, stop, and check a cook remotely 1200 watts; 12 liters per minute Two years
Bluetooth model in Anova Support’s comparison Bluetooth only; no Wi-Fi chip, so no remote cooking over Wi-Fi 800 watts; 5 gallons of circulation, as stated in the comparison Not stated on the cited comparison page

Specifications above come from Anova Culinary’s current Precision Cooker product page, its Precision Cooker Pro product page, and the model-specific support comparison. The support article describes an earlier Wi-Fi model as 900 watts with 5.5 gallons of circulation; those figures should not be treated as the specifications of the current Precision Cooker. Check the exact model listing before buying.

Remote control versus manual operation

The app is not required for every use: Anova says the cooker can also be operated manually. The app’s advantage is that a Wi-Fi model can be controlled and checked from away from the cooker. A Bluetooth-only device does not gain that ability through app settings because it lacks Wi-Fi hardware.

  • Specifications: Compare the exact model’s wattage and circulation rate rather than mixing current product-page figures with older support-page comparisons.
