Hey guys, So I want to do some experimenting for Easter Sunday dinner with a sous vide ham. Problem is, my vac bags aren't big enough to hold the ham. I bought two...a smaller one to test out this week with the wife, then one for Sunday dinner when the family comes over. Gallon ziplocs aren't large enough. Either bag, I can't get the darn ham through the opening.
I was thinking about buying some of those super huge ziploc storage bags, those would fit for sure.
The wife recommended one of those oven bags that you can use for turkeys. Problem with that is there is no zipper or closer on it. If I went that route, I wonder if I could use water immersion technique to get the air out, then twist the top and secure with a couple zip ties. I was planning on using a 5 gallon bucket, (don't have a sweet cooler set up like @dirtsailor2003 yet). I was going to make sure the top of the bag where I've used the zip ties is up and out of the water line, clipped to the side.
Thoughts or suggestions guys?
Thanks!
