Cheap container

[uncle eddie]

I bought this on Amazon and love it. I put a couple of hand towels on it to trap the heat a little more (to save a little energy is all). I ran it with no lid once at 195F and it maintained temp just fine too.

Not sure how cheap you mean - but this was $37

I’m Looking to get into my sous vide more (all I’ve done was one chicken breast when my buddy gave it to me) I did it in my sink and I’m looking for an actual container for it now. I’ve seen some that are $50+ anyone use a cheaper option or have any suggestions?

In a pinch I was doing a bunch of lamb loin chops that would not fit into a stock pot. I grabbed a VEGETABLE BIN out of the garage refrigerator and it worked like a charm!!

Old thread. I know. I picked up a Coleman Party Stacker.
Will use it mainly for sausage and summer sausage...

Opinions on the best place to drill the hole?

Corner? Center of lid? Center edge of long side? Short side?

Thanks

LOL!

I am in the process of using @dirtsailor2003 's cooler mod. but have been using a large stock pot covered with SuranWrap for the time being and it works rather well.

I just do this with a different pot depending on what I'm cooking. I put a couple of towels over the suran wrap to hold in a little more heat.

I drilled center offset to one side, for better circulation.

If you have a place you like to do your SV cooking , I would set the container there and see if the cord reaches the receptacle , and if the location of the hole effects that .

Nice . The cord on my Anovas are pretty short . That's why I mentioned the location . Enjoy !
