What can the Anova Precision Oven 2.0 do that a regular countertop oven can't?

It injects steam, so it can bake bread with steam, sous vide, proof dough and reheat without drying food. It also air-fries and dehydrates.

Do I need the app to use it?

You can cook from the oven's controls, but the cooking guides and food recognition run through the Anova app. Some owners find the app unreliable.

Anova says the 2.0 is rebuilt inside with cooking guides and food recognition added. Owners still report similar cleaning and reliability complaints.

The steam system needs water refills and periodic descaling, and the interior and tank take more care than a plain countertop oven.

It is a large countertop appliance, so plan for clearance around it and above it for steam and heat.
