sous vide bags?

[smokerjim]

I'm looking to get some sous vide bags, is there any brands that are better than others, I was looking for inkbird bags since they gave me a free sous vide, but can't seem to find them, do they make the bags for the sous vide. thanks Jim

I ordered generic disposable BPA free bags for my Foodsaver sealer to use with mine. Works great. I believe I ordered them from Amazon.

If you dont have a food saver zip lock bags wok fine. Just lower them under water to force the air out. I highly recommend a food saver. You will never no how you got along with out one. If you have one I been buying the QUART PLUS Vacuum Sealer Bags NEW SIZE 10" x 13" on amazon. The extra room is nice.

Probably not if they don't make vacuum sealers. I've used the "Simple Houseware" brand from Amazon for yrs and haven't had a problem with them. I bought another bargain brand there once and they were so wrinkled that they wouldn't seal.

thanks, I was looking through her site, she has lots of things there. not sure I want to buy a vacuum sealer right now, maybe down the road if I like the sous vide. basically just looking for a half decent bag to try it out.

I just use the regular BPA free Vacuum Bags.
Never had a problem.
Biggest thing is to not let the machine suck juices out as far as where the heat seal strip is. The juice or any grit, sand, or seasoning will keep the seal from forming properly.

I just looked at the vacuum sealers unlimited site.

I didn't see any prices listed, just text saying call or email.

Can anyone with access to a PX let me know how the prices compare?
Thanks.

in that case, I have seen SV sites recommend freezer ziplock bags. you can get all the air out with water submersion. I have also seen folks leave the zipper part out of the water - assuming there is enough bag left unused. here is an article stating how ziplocks work jsut fine.

"... To get started with sous vide, regular old ziplock-style bags will do just fine. In fact, in some applications they are preferable to vacuum-sealed bags. "
