If the mom in your life appreciates a perfectly juicy steak, pork chop, chicken—basically any cut of meat—then she absolutely needs a sous vide. And not just any sous vide, but a really good sous vide that makes cooking foolproof. We had the chance to test the Anova Nano Sous Vide with several types of meat (a cheaper cut of steak that would have been tough had I used a grill or stovetop, pork, and chicken), and were incredibly impressed by the outcome.

You can use it to cook anything—veggies, eggs, etc.—but we’d gift this to someone who really wants to perfect their meat artistry. Easy to use (it even connects with your phone and notifies you if more water is needed), the sous vide locks in moisture while it slowly cooks your meal. No oven. No stove. Just the Anova sous vide and a pot of water.

We’ve tested every single feature out and are consistently impressed by how well this thing does—especially considering it has a 90-second preheat time and cooks 30 percent faster than a standard oven.
