Revolutionize Sous Vide Cooking with AppleKoreLiving Sous Vide Reusable Silicone Bags | Set of 2 Extra Large BPA Free Bags | Thinner and More Flexible than other Reusable Vacuum Seal

Okay…it’s in the description, but I missed it. These DO NOT SEAL. My error. However, I inserted my chuck roast and clipped the bag to the side of the pot with a metal chip clip. Worked perfectly fine. THEN (should have done more research) realized that the meat was floating and it appeared as if it was only going to cook on one side. Hmmmmm. According to the internet and Amazon I should have bought some weights or a stainless steel mesh weight. Well, I had a mesh stainless steel scrubber in my kitchen for pots and pans. Hooked it to my clip and voila, meat was weighted. The scrubber cost about $6 compared to the mesh weights made specifically for sous vide and sell for around $30. Just a helpful tip. So the bags worked great. Perfect size. Easy to clean afterwards. Hung to dry, flipped inside out and hung again, rolled it up and ready to try again. By the way, chuck roasts need more than 24 hours to be really tender.

Saw an article and scientific study on brewing Kombucha in silicone bags and decided to try it out using these bags. So far the process has only been going for 2 days but it is working great.The brew is healthy, and the silicone is allowing a pellicle to start forming around the entire bag from the bottom up, instead of just on the surface like glass brewers.I ordered the Extra Large set which includes two bags. They easily hold 1 gallon of tea as well as 2 cups of starter and a thick pellicle.

Really like these bags for sous vide use. They are pliable and easy to use for submersion method to remove air. They are easy to wash with soap and water, but retain the odor of what was cooked and need to be soaked in vinegar to remove most of it. The odor doesn't seem to affect the taste of whatever is cooked after. With all the medical news about adverse effects of nanoplastics, it seems that this is a good viable alternative to using plastic bags and adverse health effects from nanoplastics.

First, be sure to read the card that comes with the product. It says that the bags should be boiled in water (I think for 30 minutes, but can’t really remember now) before first use. When I got these sous vide bags, they did have a pretty strong smell. After boiling them, the smell was mild. After one use, it’s completely gone. Second, the bags do not seal at the top. You lower the bag into the hot water using the water displacement method. Once the meat, fish, veggies, etc. is submerged in the water (very important), you just lay the open end over the side of the pot. If the bag floats, you might need to re-submerge it to get more air out. You can use a large clip to clip the bag to the side of pot to hold it in position. You can also put something heavy right in the bag with your food, or on top of it to keep it submerged. Third, you put the bag in the water after it reaches the correct temperature. It probably doesn’t matter so much with meats that cook for a long time, but with fish or veggies, it might make a difference. Fourth, cleaning the bags isn’t too hard. Hot soapy water, rinsed and dried on a big bottle of soda worked for me. Fifth, if you’re cooking something for a very long time, be sure to cover the pot to reduce evaporation. You can buy a bag of ping pong balls, or I use a piece of tinfoil that I use over and over. I really love these bags!

After just a couple of uses the color and smell from the meals cooked in them is lingering, and does not wash off, even with dishwasher liquid detergent snd hot water. Returning these items.

Exactly as described. Came quick, very thin so should be pretty much the same as vacuum bag without all the single use plastic. I bought the extra large and large bags. Extra large is huge and in use in the pictures, large is maybe 1/2 gal, not sure but good size. They don't pass the stretch test, but I am not convinced that is relevant. They are currently sous viding a nice stew for me at 185 deg for 24 hours, easy to clean and no worries of plastics from zip lock or vac bags getting into food. Magnets are super strong and hold tight through my plastic container and both layers of the extra large bag.

These came in a two pack. I use them for sous vide cooking. I put the protein in one bag and have it in the water while the other one I use for a “lid” to go on the top to keep in the heat. After the fourth time when I took the protein out I was surprised to see the bag leaking!! this was disappointing

After using reusable sous vide bags for a few years, I was looking for an alternative that was easier to clean. I was pleasantly surprised at how much easier sous vide cooking is with these, and cleaning them is SO much easier, with no corners for pesky residue to get stuck in. It took me a couple of times to figure out the best way to keep the bags from floating up, but I have no problems now. I lower the filled bag(s) into the water bath, and gently push the filled portion down with a wooden spatula, and clip the bags to the side of the pot. The wooden spatula also helps to push the air up the side of the pot, so the bags stay submerged, as shown in my picture. I use my sous vide a lot, and these bags have been a great help to me. They do get a bit discolored from use (marinades), but I haven’t found that to affect any subsequent use.
