I have one, an Anova and I use it a lot. It will produce the most perfect cook steak every time. All meats, steak. chicken, pork etc, after they come out of the temperature controlled water bath, must be seared. I sear my stuff on a smoking hot charcoal grill. Steaks will be the same color almost from edge to edge and if seared correctly will be perfectly chared too. It's almost too easy. The flavor will be as good or better than any other cooking method.
