My ANOVA Wifi arrived today, from the deal last week!
Tried to use the water displacement technique with Glad zip top bags, but my ribeye was sogged out due to an imperfect seal. I tested a couple of other ziplocks and zip tops from the pantry and water would always leak in during the soak.
Does anyone else use water displacement or does everyone have a vacuum sealer at home?
If the former, what brand of bags do you use? If the latter, what vac sealer are you using (brand, model, price, etc.)
P.s. I seared it and ate it anyway.
I think Aldi has some double sealed zip lock bags which I've used before. However I rarely submerge the entire bag.
Buy some cheap magnets like this or this to hold the bag in place by placing one on the inside and another on the outside of the container. Don't let the seal touch the water. Keep using the water displacement technique to push as much air out as possible. If you feel like it floats a bit use a knife or spoon and place it in the bag so that it sinks. You can try using binder clips too to keep the bag upright but it's a lot more finicky and requires you to have it clipped to the top of your container. With a magnet you can control the height at which you want the zip lock bag to be.
