I have the Precision Cooker Pro, I’ve been using it for years and I love it!
This morning I set up my cook for this afternoon, a frozen vacuum sealed chicken breast in an ice bath with the cooker submerged and online. I’ve done this a million times, I just start it remotely about 2 hours before I head home from work.
When I got to the office this morning I opened the Anova app to make sure it was connected and everything looked good. The water was 38º, everything looked perfect. I closed the app and went about my morning.
Several hours later I noticed some notifications on my iPhone saying that my cook had finished.
???
I looked more closely, and it had cooked at 197.5º for 25 minutes.
First, I’ve only set the temperature that high once or twice since I’ve owned it. I definitely didn’t set it that high.
Second, I’ve been using the app for years, I know it well, and there’s no way I accidentally set the temperature to 197.5, then set the timer for 25 minutes, then hit start.
So, do I have a ghost in my house??
Is there anything that would explain this?
The thoughts that crossed my mind are:
- Someone hacked into my network and is having fun with me. That seems unlikely though.
- Maybe some wires got crossed with the Anova server and someone else’s cook was sent to my cooker.
I’d love to hear any thoughts or ideas.
