Hi,just trying out my Anova and results are good however from when I unpacked it there is a really strong plastic smell coming from the black parts. Strong enough to waft through the whole open plan living/dining area! Had to open windows to cope. Any one else got this? Assume it will fade in time, but unexpected from a kitchen device of this price. I have emailed them to see if this is normal.
Edit: Also, it seems the temp is way out. Measuring using the SuperFast Thermopen (http://www.thermapen.com.au/), Anova = between 76.5 to 78.5 (changing all over the place) vs. TP = a stable 92.4-92.6 Turned it off and on again. Changed to Anova = 84 and TP = 91.6. what the?
Edit: now it's showing 62-66 and the TP is still on about 92.5! Emailed them…
Edit: left it for a while longer, partially covered pan, came good. Now aligning with the thremopen! Wtf! Will try again next weekend.
If it doesn't smell like burning it might be OK (http://gizmodo.com/5656463/the-origins-of-that-new-gadget-sm…). Of course, until one day they discover the notorious plastic smell in new gadgets in fact causes disease :)
