I’m Very happy with the performance of my cooker but I was confounded in trying to find a large enough (and correctly-dimensioned) cooking vessel. I’ve got alot of pots and pans but none were hitting the mark, so I started searching restaurant supply stores. I figured that a large mise tub would do the deed… but no, too small, no lid, flimsy construction. The “aha” solution? I bought a camping cooler for thirty bucks a…

I would caution you about using plastic wrap though - I used to as well, but it allows most of the water vapour to escape right around the ANova PC - which is not what you want - the electronics at the top of the unit are quite sensitive to hot water vapour - often causing unpredictable results if you’re not careful. For any prolonged cooks, I’d definitely recommend a covered vessel with a hole that’s been cut for the PC (if the vessel is deep enough, then you don’t need to use your clamp - just use a hole saw and let the lid support the PC).
