I’ve been sous viding for years but I always struggle with the darn bags floating. I’ve tried spoons (what a joke, does nothing for me), magnets, clips. It doesn’t matter if I’m cooking three pounds of meat or one little vegetable, my bags always want to float up at least enough that some portion of my cook isn’t fully submerged. Others report success with these techniques, and I can usually rig something after several minutes of fussing but it’s an ugly ordeal every time. What am I doing wrong? Any good videos of a technique that really works?
Vacuum sealers aren’t too expensive. Sounds like if you’ve been struggling for years, you’re overdue to just get one and be done with it.
Ahh, an excuse for more gadgetry. Might need to look into this.
It’s a game changer.
Honestly I only used regular bags once in a sous vide before I gave up and ordered a cheap vacuum sealer.
