I have this for lage cuts but just use a pot for smaller.

But cheap food grade Sterlite box and lid from Walmart/Target.

Just cut out a piece of the lid where you plan on mounting it.

Use plates, saucers to keep things submerged.

Dedicated cheap containers as seen above. You're not breaking the bank on any of them. Do some reading on these tables. Good info.

Good idea, Is that PVC on the bottom? I'm guessing that's to keep the meat off the bottom and allow some sort of flow to go inder the meat?

Or get an Instant Pot that has variable temps and pressure levels. Use vacuum sealed bags of.....whatever you want. Minimum of two hours.

I use this in the Coleman cooler i posted above. It's great for keeping food off the bottom and separated for circulation.
