If you only do this once in a blue moon maybe but this method isn't as convenient looks messy

Doesn't this gets its dose of micro plastics

Does anyone else feel like this uses a lot of plastic bags? Like each meal needs a ziplock or special bag?

Incredibly wasteful and irresponsible – especially after your episode about plastic containers. Pick a lane… ridiculous.

Side note: Needs to be a freezer quality bag such as Ziploc freezer bags.

Use a plastic straw at one end, suck hard and seal quickly!

I cook real, whole foods and don't want a dose of microplastics when so many safer cooking methods are available.

Great tip!

I just use a $30 temperature controller outlet and a crock pot to sous vide. It works great.
