Just some meat..

I didn't need an immersion circulator either, but ended up getting one a few years ago. It was just a mid-range Anova, but I ended up loving it. It croaked on me a couple months ago & I almost cried. My new birthday/Christmas present arrived the day after Thanksgiving. It's the Anova Pro rated for continuous use. We'll see how this one holds up to infrequent use...

I have a half chuck roast bathing right now. Been on for 14 hours so far...a few more to go until supper...
