Sous Vide Container

[bill ace 350]

Found a great container I'm going to use for my Sous Vide container.

I have the Anova Nano, and is perfect for using with a Sterlite 15L plastic container and lid.

Dimensions are 16 3/4 L x 11 7/8 W x 7 H

$3.95 for container and lid.

Will post picks as soon as i finish my fermentation chamber.... just waiting on a 100w ceramic bulb.

That price is amazing. My large container is either a Rubbermaid or Cambro, and the lid has the half-circle for the circulator. It was reasonable in price but nothing like the deal you found. I did purchase a neoprene sleeve from SoVida. It's amazing how well a cover works, and the insulation makes a big difference on those long cooks because I set-uo my water bath container in the basement if I'm doing a 24 hr or longer cook.

I've used Sterlite containers as meat lugs for years.


According to their website, the are food safe also, or else i wouldn't use as a meat lug...

I use a coleman stacker packer 24 ice chest. It is insulated and holds the heat really well. I drill a hole in the top for the Anova to fit through. I use the clamp upside down to raise the bottom of the sous vide circulator off the bottom of the ice chest.

That should work good . Next time you're at Lowes , look thru the kitchen acc . dept . I use a rack for storing sheet pans to keep the food from floating . You could cut to fit the height of what you have .

I use that same container as dr k.

Lol I believe I heard about it from you in another thread. After the first water fill up and just the SV in the water I marked the minimum water level from the SV on the outside of the transparent tote for easier filling.

I'll have to check it out. My chrome plated cooling rack to keep meat off the bottom rusted so there's cracks in the plating so have been using 1/2" or so pvc pipe and elbows for a bottom rack. I still yet have to try the glass gems and mesh bag they come in at the Dollar Tree as a weight. I used them vac sealed in a bag but over time the bag stretches then gets buoyant.

I haven't noticed any rust yet , but I could see it starting at the welds . I had some of the glass beads , but they got repurposed . There's all kinds of things in that area of the store that can be used for various things .

Those of you using sous vide on countertops and such use caution, it can do heat damage to different materials. I always put wood cutting board under my container. Also extremely hot water is not good for your drain pipes if emptying right away.

Using this next weekend for my first try at making Taylor Ham/Pork Roll.
