Review of Nova Travel Cooker

Image Source

I have never promoted a product so much before. It was a life saver during our recent trip and I think everyone with a baby or kids should own one.

You can cook anything from rice, maggi, milk etc. I made porridge and rice with this. I even made tea once using the same. The cooker is easy to carry. Though the image shows two components the lower half will go into the cooker and you will be carrying this as one small unit.

Really sorry I had to lend my cooker to a friend so could  not update my own images. The cooker is light and can be easily cleaned because of the steel. The food heats up quickly unlike other electric heaters. It has a sturdy lid with a lock which makes cooking faster.

Overall good value for money, cost ranges from Rs 1700-2000 based on where you purchase the cooker.

To set up your Precision™ Cooker WI-FI you'll need a few essentials:

• Your Precision™ Cooker WI-FI & clamp.
• A pot or container, minimum 4.25" deep (11 cm).
• A potholder or kitchen towel to put under the pot.
• A nearby electrical outlet (we recommend avoiding outlets already in use by other major appliances, such as your refrigerator or oven.)

To get started with precision cooking, simply:

• Place your pot on the potholder and make sure you have an electrical outlet nearby.
• Attach the clamp to the side of the pot by twisting the lower knobs until the clamp is stable on the pot.
• Slide in the Precision™ Cooker WI-FI through the clamp and tighten the upper knob until it the cooker is stable in the clamp (note: it's okay if plastic end cap touches bottom of pot).
• Plug your Precision™ Cooker WI-FI in to see the display light up.
• To switch between Fahrenheit & Celsius, press and hold "Start/Stop" button for 3 seconds.

With a Precision™ Cooker WI-FI® you can schedule a cook from your phone and come home to the best meal ever. Staying connected means staying updated about your meal every step of the way, no matter where you are. Start cooking from anywhere and get ready to wow your family when they walk through the door!

Your Precision™ Cooker WI-FI® is smart enough to remember your WI-FI® network every time you cook. Here's how to do the one-time initial setup:

• Download the Anova Culinary WI-FI® App.
• Make sure your device's WI-FI® and Bluetooth® are turned on.
• Make sure your phone is connected to your preferred WI-FI® network.
• Have your WI-FI® network password ready.
• Open the Anova Culinary WI-FI® App on your phone.
• Go through the setup process on your phone.
• A confirmation screen appears in the app.
• Your cooker is now connected to WI-FI®!

Cooking Sous Vide For The First Time

What you'll need.

PRECISION COOKING IN A SNAP Achieving sous vide perfection is a simple three-step process. Here's the basics for how to use your Precision™ Cooker WI-FI to get cooking now. Simply prep your food, select your cook settings, and finish to your liking. Let's cook your first masterpiece!

To precision cook your food, you'll need:

• Your Precision™ Cooker setup from the previous page.
• Whatever you're cooking...steak, chicken, salmon, corn (oh, the options!).
• A sealed bag for your food (zipper lock or vacuum-sealed).
• Source of water to fill the pot (note that your food itself will not touch the water).
• Optional: A clip (a gator or binder clip will do) to clip your bag with food to the pot.

SET UP YOUR COOK

• Fill the pot/container with water. Make sure water level meets or exceeds the minimum line and falls below the maximum line on the cooker's steel sleeve. More water works well for longer cooks due to evaporation.
• Make sure your cooker is plugged into an electrical outlet for power.
• Open your Anova WI-FI App to set the temperature and time for your cook.*
• Start the cook pressing "Start" via the app to preheat your water and begin your cook.*

*Alternatively you can set the temperature manually (rotate scroll wheel) and press the start button on the device.

PREP YOUR FOOD SEASON, SEAL, & SUBMERGE

• Season and prepare food. Place it in a sealed zipper lock bag (See the Tips & Tricks Section for the water displacement technique to remove excess air) or use a vacuum sealer to seal the food in an airtight bag.
• Once the water has finished preheating and reached the desired cooking temperature, place sealed food in the water. Make sure all of the food in the bag is submerged (use tongs if water is hot).
• Optional: clip the bag to side of pot/container for easy access.
• You're good to go (to work, run errands, take a snooze...).

ADD THE FINISHING TOUCHES Once your food has cooked for the desired amount of time, stop the device by pressing "Start/Stop" manually or via the app.

• Remove sealed bag from pot/container (water may be hot, so use tongs if you have them!)
• Remove food from the sealed bag and prepare your finishing touches (see the Tips & Tricks Section for suggestions).
• Serve and enjoy!

With WI-FI®, you can now cook from your phone anywhere, anytime. Your phone doesn' t have to be on the same WI-FI® network as the cooker or even any WI-FI® network at all. You can even cook using your cellular network. For the most current information on WI-FI®and a list of compatible devices, go to support.anovaculinary.com.

Your Precision™ Cooker WI-FI® lets you go to work, hit the gym, pick up the kids, and come home to the best meal ever. It lets you cook like a pro from anywhere your life takes you. Your safety is top priority so we've built in food safety measures that will cook your food so that it's safe to eat and deliciously cooked no matter when you decide to come home.

Tips & Tricks

Here are some helpful tips so you can make the most of your Precision™ Cooker. Enjoy!

SEARING & FINISHING FOOD With proteins like fish, poultry or meat, you'll want to add some finishing touches for a more appetizing appearance and a delicious caramelized taste. So sear, baby, sear— and savor the results!

It's easy. Simply remove food from sealed bag, pat dry, and sear it under the broiler, on your outside grill, with a culinary blowtorch or in a pan with a little butter or olive oil

(extra tip: make a quick sauce by pouring juices from bag into pan after browning meat).

Pots and Containers

When selecting your pot or container, go for the smallest size given whatever you're cooking. This enables the water to heat faster and helps conserve energy.

If you're using a non-cooking container that is food-safe (instead of a pot), you can cut a hole in the lid and insert the Precision™ Cooker. This reduces evaporation and helps maintain heat stability.

Water Level

With foods like chicken and fish that require a short cooking time, evaporation shouldn't be an issue. But with longer cooking items—for example, ribs which can be cooked for as long as 72 hours—it's best to minimize evaporation by putting aluminum foil (shiny side up), plastic wrap, or a closed container over the top for cooking (see Pot & Containers Tip).

Always make sure the food is entirely submerged in the water to maintain food safety.

Some foods are tricky to keep submerged. Here are some tips to help:

• Use binder clips to hold the bag to the side of the pot.
• Place a heavy object, such as a serving spoon, on the bag.
• Place food-grade stainless steel weights inside bag.

Sealing Bags

When precision cooking, the best results come when all the air is out of the bag. You do not have to use a vacuum seal. When using plastic zipper lock bags for your food, place your food in the bag and get as much air out as possible. Seal the bag almost completely, leaving a small section open. Then, in a pot of water, slowly lower the sealed bag into the water to push the remaining air out. Air will escape as the bag is submerged. Right before the bag is fully submerged, seal the open section to fully close the bag.

Rather than blasting your food with heat, the sous vide cooking technique surrounds your food with the perfect cooking temperature, hence the delicious, flavorful results. Keep these temperature tips in mind:

• For foods requiring high temperature cooking, preheat the water on your stovetop, then attach the Precision™ Cooker.
• Don't heat water above the temperature your recipe calls for.
• Keep food as one layer in bags to ensure even cooking.

THOUGHTS ON TIMING With sous vide, it's more about temperature than time. Cooking with your Precision™ Cooker WI-FI adapts to your schedule. In many cases, leaving your food minutes or even sometimes hours over the desired time still results in incredibly tasty food and amazing results. Timing simply isn't critical in most recipes.

SEASONING YOUR FOOD Adding seasoning in your sealed bag helps lock in flavor. Keep in mind:

• Using dried, powdered spices works best.
• It's okay to go a little heavier with salt, pepper, and garlic powder as they work well with longer cooking times.

Price : From $99.99 Capacity: 3 quart, 6 quart, 8 quart and 10 quart Display: LED screen Programs: Pressure Cook, Sauté, Slow Cook, Steam, Sous Vide, Warm, Roast, Bake, Broil, Dehydrate Power : 700w (3 quarts), 850w (6 quarts), 1200 w (8 quarts), 1440w (10 quarts) Smart features: None

The Instant Pot multi cooker has become a firm favorite in many households. And with its versatility, range of sizes and convenient, one-touch programs to cook just about anything, you can see why. If you’re a novice to the world of the best Instant Pots , or are looking to feed a crowd, the Instant Pot Duo Nova 7-in-1 Cooker could be your best bet. 

The Instant Pot Duo Nova main functions are pressure cook, steam, slow cook, saute and keep warm, rice cooker and yogurt maker, and also has 14 one touch preset programs. 

While the Instant Pot Duo Nova comes in a range of sizes, it’s currently the only model with a large, 10 quart capacity option, which is ideal for big families or hosting parties. The only downside is that it’s quite heavy and bulky, and can take up a fair bit of countertop space. And, this model has fewer preset programs compared to the more advanced Instant Pot models, such as the lack of a Bake program.

So how does the Instant Pot Duo Nova compare to its more expensive counterparts? Read our Instant Pot Duo Nova review to find out more. 

Instant Pot Duo Nova 7-in-1 Electric Pressure Cooker review: Price and availability

The Instant Pot Duo Nova is available in three sizes: the 3-quart model is $69, the 6-quart model costs $89, the 8-quart model is $99, and the 10-quart model costs $221. It’s widely available at online retailers and often on sale below the list price, though the 10-quart model is generally harder to find. 

Overall, this model is considered the cheapest Instant Pot on the market for those on a budget or who simply need the basic requirements. 

Instant Pot Duo Nova 7-in-1 Electric Pressure Cooker review: Design 

Typically, pressure cookers are not known for their attractive design, but this Instant Pot Duo Nova looks pretty sleek in a stainless steel finish.

I reviewed the 10 quart size, measuring 16.8 x 15.3 x 16.3 inches, which was huge (and heavy at 25 lbs), taking up a fair bit of countertop space. But the Instant Pot Duo Nova does come in 3’’, 6’’and 8’’ quart sizes for smaller households.

Unlike other Instant Pots, it has a simple control panel, with the standard program buttons and a blue-lit, LED screen. Programs range from Slow Cook and Saute to Poultry and Pressure Cook. Handy functions, such as Pressure Level, Keep Warm, Delay Start, and Cancel are in the center.

It also has an updated steam release valve and a progress indicator to show when the Instant Pot is coming up to pressure, during cooking, and when it’s finished.

The Duo Nova comes with a stainless steel inner pot with sealing ring, steam rack and extra seal ring, which is handy as the silicone tends to pick up odors. The only downside is the inner pot doesn’t come with handles, like other Instant Pots, so you'll need to lift it out carefully. It also doesn’t come with a handy recipe book, however, you can download the app on your smartphone. However, for a basic model, the Instant Pot Duo Nova looks contemporary for any kitchen.

Instant Pot Duo Nova 7-in-1 Electric Pressure Cooker review: Cooking performance

During our tests, the Instant Pot Duo Nova performed well when pressure cooking meat dishes, stews and casseroles, but was a little disappointing when cooking rice and steaming vegetables.

The texture of stewed beef was succulent, tender, and more flavorsome and delicious than conventional cooking. Bear in mind, there is a fair bit of prep work to do before the cooking process begins. Select the Saute program to brown onions or meat before pressing Cancel to stop sauteing once you’re happy. I was impressed by the searing process, which didn’t take as long to brown as it would in a conventional frying pan. The Instant Pot reaches the ideal, high temperature to brown and crisp the meat before adding in the rest of your ingredients and stock to the pot. After closing the lid with a simple twist and lock, press the Pressure Cook button twice to set the temperature to either Low, Normal or High, which is set at 239°F to 245°F. The time also allows for preheat time which you can see on the handy progress bar on the display.

On the other hand, cooking basmati rice was average and not as impressive. The texture of the rice was soft but not as fluffy as a dedicated rice cooker would offer. In addition, some parts of the rice were not cooked consistently, so there would be rice stuck inside the inner pot - which could have been avoided if the pot had been non-stick. Despite the lack of ‘fluffiness’, the rice rated average for its aroma and taste.

Next, I tested the Steam function to steam some green beans; I noticed the majority of beans were overcooked, soggy and lacked the firm and crunchy texture of steamed vegetables.

Results seemed the same on a few tries, despite reducing the water content. In this case, you may need to manually adjust the cooking time to your preferred setting.

Instant Pot Duo Nova 7-in-1 Electric Pressure Cooker review: Ease of use and cleaning

If you’re a beginner to the world of Instant Pots, it’s worthwhile reading the manual first just to get you familiar with the settings. Program buttons are well-laid out and easy to use, while the Keep Warm function and quick release button are handy features. Once you press the program of your choice, just remember to adjust the pressure that you need before it automatically sets the cooking time. When cooking has finished, it automatically sets to Keep Warm until you’re ready to dish out your delicious meal, so you’ll never have to reheat anything.

Since this was the 10 quart capacity, the largest pot around, I found this quite heavy and cumbersome to lift. Another good thing about the Instant Pot Duo Nova is it doesn’t get too hot around the sides if you need to move it around.

Cleaning the Instant Pot Duo Nova can be a little tricky. Although the inner pot is dishwasher safe, it didn’t quite fit snugly in my dishwasher, so I had to handwash it in soapy water. However, it doesn’t take too long to wash the pot and sealing ring, while the pot exterior can be easily cleaned with a damp cloth.

Instant Pot Duo Nova 7-in-1 Electric Pressure Cooker review: Verdict 

If you’re after a simple, no-fuss multicooker, the Instant Pot Duo Nova is a good option for beginners. If you have a large family, the 10-quart capacity is perfect for cooking up a storm, although you still have the smaller options to suit your needs. 

While the Instant Pot Duo Nova has all the requirements/programs of a basic multi-cooker, one downside is the absence of a Bake program In addition, while it performed well for pressure cooking delicious meat dishes, results for cooking basmati rice, and steaming vegetables were not as consistent in quality and texture. Nevertheless, it still had a pleasant taste and aroma. 

The Instant Pot Duo Nova may not have all the fancy bells and whistles of other models such as the Instant Pro Crisp and Air Fryer, but considering its affordable price, range of sizes and ease of use, the Instant Pot Duo Nova does a good job.

Everything You Need to Know About Japandi Style, According to Design Pros

Learn why this tranquil aesthetic is re-emerging in interior design.

With strong historical roots, Japandi style's global attraction begins to trend as minimal decor and homes filled with natural elements grow popular. Jennifer Verruto, Founder & CEO, Blythe Interiors , says, "We are seeing more and more people gravitate towards the elegant simplicity and calming atmosphere of Japandi.”

Timeless and simplistic, Japandi style sets the pace of your living space. Earthy and organic, craftmanship in your decor can shine through due to the pared-back ethos of not overcrowding your space with objects or tons of color. Ahead, learn why interior designers will continue to sing their praises of the over a century-old style.

What Is Japandi Style?

Japandi style harmoniously blends the most distinct and favored features in Japanese and Scandinavian cultures. Peak Petersen, senior interior designer at Hoedemaker Pfeiffer , says, "The focus of these combined aesthetics is tranquility and functionality and is often defined by natural materiality, a neutral palette with dark, earthy tones, uncluttered space that is not overly minimal, natural light and greenery , bringing nature into the home."

But the re-emerging interest around Japandi goes beyond the surface. Carrying the spirit of feng shui and Scandinavian hygge principles, the design sets the environment and mood in your home. The crisp but laid-back look lends a relaxing and warm feel to your space. Unwinding will look better and not cluttered!

Peter Spalding co-founder and CCO, Daniel House Club says, “Both cultures have a less-is-more mentality and both continue to foreground handmade objects. More than their aesthetics, it is their ethos that unites them.”

Why Japandi Design Is Effective

Petersen loves how Japandi style adds depth to the bright, clean Scandinavian “hygge”-influenced canvas (next-level coziness that causes you to feel contentment). You can enjoy the warmth without feeling closed in, thanks to the freeing nature of Japanese aesthetics it's all about balance! "The inclusion of darker tones, meaningful artwork and found pieces create a lifetime ethos that will continue to be interesting," Petersen explains.

The overall soothing ambiance it provides is welcoming and can create a sense of calm even after a hectic day. Inviting guests over in a tranquil setting that promotes their well-being can also make entertaining feel zen. Simply, pop the open the dishwasher and enjoy an evening of relaxation when the party is over.

Finally, you can indulge in your favorites without settling or feeling overwhelmed. “Japandi fuses the comfy rusticity of Scandinavian design with the Japanese celebration of imperfection as beauty," says Spalding. "It is crisp and clean, but not sterile. Its palette is subtle, but never cold. It celebrates the handmade over the mass-produced."

How to Use Japandi Style in Your Home

Japandi style can fit in just about anywhere in your home from the bathroom (your spa days have never looked so good) to the kitchen, but it's done best in places enjoyed by friends and family.

In the primary bathroom (pictured above), Verruto carefully blended warm and cool tones to create an environment of balance and serenity. "The design team revitalized the existing archway through thoughtful finishes, incorporating porcelain tile that mimics the look of thin wood slats—embodying the minimal, natural aesthetic of the style,” she explains.

If you're hoping to achieve this aesthetic, begin to draw back the curtain and let the light in. Paint with limewash for an organic, textured feel. Shop for high-quality vintage furniture made of wood or clay for a stylish moment that won't get lost in a crowd of accessories.

This trend allows you to start afresh in your home, boosting your sense of peace no matter the season. Spalding says, "I like that Japandi style presents its origins so completely. It gives us the opportunity to delve deep and explore work we are not that familiar with and make it our own.” Cheers to the start of something new that feels right at home!
