It will insulate things, but it won’t make a lot of difference. See this discussion: > [@Sous Vide Koozie - anyone tried it?](https://community.anovaculinary.com/t/sous-vide-koozie-anyone-tried-it/9739/4): > > It looks nice, and neoprene is a good insulator. I’m not sure that the return on investment stacks up though. The Anova consumes 800 or 900 W when it’s heating. To keep water for the average recipe warm, I’ve seen it switch on (on average) about 20% of the time (measured by looking at my consumption meter). The actual figure will vary greatly with season and location. Let’s be ultra-pessimistic and assume that the Anova has its heater turned on 50% of the time to keep the water at the target tem… IMO, the insulation products being offered are an expensive solution to a problem that doesn’t need solving. --- _[View the full topic](https://community.anovaculinary.com/t/interesting-insulator-for-pots/12532)._
