Yes, that seems to be the only option. (I’m not worried about electricity consumption. The savings due to insulation are not worth it, IMO: [Sous Vide Koozie - anyone tried it? - #4 by michihenning](https://community.anovaculinary.com/t/sous-vide-koozie-anyone-tried-it/9739/4))

Sad, isn’t it, that I have to use a special container with a lid to stop the beeps:

- The Anova is designed to be attached to a pot with the clamp that comes with it.
- The Anova’s job is to heat water and to keep that water hot.
- Hot water emits steam.
- The Anova, by design, sits directly above the hot water.
- The Anova has vents that allow steam to enter.
- Steam that enters the vents confuses the electronics.

Am I the only one who sees the irony of this?
