If so, how do you clean afterward?  
I use the 2nd Generation Anova Precision® Cooker

This is not recommended. The fluid should only be water.

It will void any warranty you have on it. As John indicated, it is not recommended for any liquid other than clean warranty. For information on cleaning, you can check out this thread:

> Simple basic question. How do you clean the Anova? Generally, not a problem (I’ve only used it twice) but this last time I was concerned that some of the meat juices were outside the seal area of my bag after sealing. I am using Food Saver vacuum seal bags.

You want to keep your cleaning below the high water line. Do not get the head of the unit wet. For cleaning I remove the sleeve and was it in hot soapy water and rinse. I then gently wash the heating coils and impeller and rinse well In hard water areas you may get a calcium buildup which can be removed by soaking coils in vinegar…
